Whitlock's new article:

http://msn.foxsports.com/nfl/story/faith-in-peyton-manning-biting-indianapolis-colts-now-090811

He made sense in a few points but this final sentence was over the top:

I believe Manning wanted and manipulated the organization into being singularly attached to his rare talent. It was fun calling the plays and signing the record contracts that go along with being the most important player in football.

He still loves Jeff George, I can tell :).

There is a price for going all in with one player for such an extended time, and the Colts are about to pay it.

Uhh, beg to differ, sir. Last time I checked, the :coltslogo: have a good team. Sure, Manning is our franchise HOF QB, but look at what Cassel did. 5 years removed from his last start, in HIGH SCHOOL nonetheless, led the New England Patriots to an 11 win season.

Yep. Peyton got the Colts hooked on his junk.

I have read and re-read that quote from Whitlock over and over and I can't make sense of it. I mean to say, I guess I know what he's implying but I cannot understand what would cause him to make such a nefarious suggestion. He almost hinted that Manning is a villain of sorts.

Adam Schefter was on Sportscenter and suggested that there was a way the Colts could recoup about $26 mil. of it or something like that??? If that allows us to sign free agents this year, I am all for it if that is how it plays out. The money that needs to be spent is evaluated as a percentage of the cap when the last regular season game ends in the new CBA, is it not???

Is Leo having a dream inside of a dream, walking on field while Manning is playing.

As far as Manning's pay goes, he's gotta pass a physical every year before he gets paid.

So far Colts are on the hook for this year and his signing bonus?

if a Veteran is on the roster week 1 his money is guaranteed. Only the performance bonus and that stuff isn't. But his salary is. That is why the Jags cut Garrard before week 1. A money issue.

    • Can you expend on this, why do you think that?
    • No, but I would love that! Is that true? Where did you hear that? I don't think that will happen. I heard that trading Herbert would result in a huge dead cap hit for the Chargers, that would make it nearly impossible to keep or sign other players.
