Reggie Stays - Signs 3-Year Deal! [Merge]

[JWF]

Yes!!!

You da man Reggie!!!!

[rockywoj]

...I don't know about you guys, but Im happier to see Reggie stay than Pierre.

Agreed!

[Susie Q]

All I can say is that it's good to see OP agreeing again. :highfive:

[pmanningfan1896]

the thing with freeney is that it is getting clearer that we are probably switching to a 3-4. we resigned robert mathis to be used as the rush end/linebacker like suggs and harrison. freeneydoesnt really fit in to that. i think we could get him for a 2nd but you get what ya get.

We can still play a 4/3-3/4 hybrid...which I'm pretty sure is what Pagano said we were going to try and do anyway...

[JWF]

I know I just posted but def. happy to see him back (at a pretty reasonable deal too IMO).

We really needed a veteran WR to pair with Andrew. Now lets get some an Olineman!

[-JJ-]

Adam Schefter just announced it via Twitter...

"Reggie Wayne re-signing a three-year deal with Colts. Agreement reached."

whatta ya figure he got?

I'll go with 21 mil, tho 15-18 would be more appropiate.

edit: oops just saw it up top. pretty close eh;)

I'll guess 3 years around 17 mil.

[The Fish]

Reggie helps the overall scheme next year at the price significantly, best Colts news since week 17.

Hey your pretty good you could work with Grigson JJ

[Happy2BeHere]

Anyone can be "pretty good" when the numbers are visible to see....I'm guessing anywhere between 17.4563523 million and 17.53523133965 million.

WELCOME BACK REGGIE!!!!!!

Yes...I agree with those who say "IT IS OK TO BE HAPPY ABOUT THIS!!!"

[ColtsLegacy]

Today (today)…I consider myself (self)…the luckiest man (man)…on the face of the earth (earth)…

Welcome back, Reggie!

Welcome back, Reggie!

The ONLY problem with your analogy is that speech was made when Gehrig retired. Reggie is back for 3 years!!

But I understand what you were saying!

[Coltsman1788]

"This is all I have. This is what I know. So I wouldn't mind being a part of a rebuilding process. They need some old heads too, you know? It would be an honor to still be a part of this organization even in a rebuilding phase. I know there are still going to be some guys on this team that I know, I know the head coach, Chuck Pagano, pretty good (from time together at the University of Miami). I'd just look at it as my rookie year all over again."

--Reggie Wayne during Super Bowl week.

[Poster X]

When I saw Mr. Irsay's tweet the first thing I thought of was Reggie Miller. None the less, I'm glad to hear Reggie Wayne is staying with the Colts for a while too.

[TubaGuy]

Love this take by Paul Kuharsky of ESPN...

[Captain Americolt]

I heard hes getting 17.5 mil MAX for three years. I guess it could be lower if he doesnt max it out?

[Coltsman1788]

And Reggie was also the big reason why we were so happy during week 17 as well!

This is true, but the wording is just too perfect.

[Andy]

The Colts are in a rebuilding mode, but even in a rebuilding mode, they must keep the great constants that the Colts had. They must keep some vets so that they have some players that the younger guys can look up to, or in Luck's situation, a reliable target to throw to.

[Happy2BeHere]

I hope he max's out..he deserves it and he produces...he'll have a GOOD QB to be throwing to him instead of Painter and Orlovsky....though Dan O. wasn't horrible but Luck will be the man!

[OLD FAN MAN]

Reggie knows the Colts are rebuilding, but he stayed loyal to the team and re-signed anyway. I love him even more now!

i agree one player who is loyal not just about money,let the those in it for the money go somewhere else, they are not true colts,we need players who are loyal to the team not just money

More on Reggie Wayne deal: $7.5M signing bonus, $13.5M over the first two years of the deal, $17.5m over 3 #freeagency

[TubaGuy]

And Reggie just broke the LOS banner curse!! Way to go Reggie!!

[JWF]

Its a reasonable deal if those numbers are right. Fair for both sides.

[hawkeyes]

Reggie Reggie Reggie Reggie ... least we will still hear that at the Luck!

[coltsfanej]

And he was pretty cheap.. Im PUMPED!! Love u Reggie!!

[deedub75]

This means Peyton is coming back!

[18Manning]

I am super happy that Reggie is here.....

but there is a part of me that is sad that no one else offered him a deal better than what the Colts gave him

That sounds like a pretty good deal for Reggie and he can retire as a Colt. I'm sure he's happy to stay here.

[Poster X]

This means Peyton is coming back!

Ahhhh, not this again. Stop it.

[GoColts8818]

Oh Happy Day! (does happy dance) This is great news when we needed some! We kept a leader on offense a true number one WR and a player the fans all know and love! I would look for us to target a speed guy in the draft in the middle rounds to replace Garcon and target Reggie's replacement in the next couple of drafts.

I hope this is single of a changing of the times in terms of the news department. Finally some unexpected GOOD news!

[deedub75]

Ahhhh, not this again. Stop it.

I was just kidding!

[Susie Q]

Let;s keep the good news coming because we have had all the bad news we want for the year. Thank You Reggie

I am not the best numbers guy but that looks like a pretty good deal. It averages out to 5.3 per year which is much less than we were offering Garcon and far less than what Garcon signed for. Even the 6.75 per year the first two years looks good but like I said i am not he best numbers guy so I could be off.

[Andy]

I'd like see in the news that Jeff is back too. We need a center that can play right now, and the Colts could not spend a draft pick on a center. Anyways, I'm very happy for this news, and I don't want to shift this thread in another direction. Keep the focus on Reggie.

[Malakai432]

Ohhh wait I forgot to say, who's Luck going to throw to!

Epic Reggie Wayne, we love you!

[Malakai432]

Reggie Wayne, Austin Collie, Blair White "insert names Coby Fleener and Jenkins here"...

[Mitch]

I can't stop smiling after this news...Just what we needed, some positive news! #87 Jersey looks to be at the top of my wish list!

[FairleySuhper]

Not really sure why he'd want to stay.

[Poster X]

Not really sure why he'd want to stay.

One word. Loyalty.

[FairleySuhper]

One word. Loyalty.

Or maybe no other team was that interested. Or, the other teams weren't going to match what the Colts offered.

I'm glad he stayed though, because it helps Luck tremendously.
