Really??!!
Denver has the cap space and would easily have matched or beaten that offer. And Denver has way more going for it than Indy. Better running game, better defense (especially once they unload Freeney).

Bad for Wayne. Bad for Denver.

————————————————————–
Denver has a good Defense??? Hmm, that’s news to me seeing they were ranked 20th in the league last year. Also, last year they gave up an average of 126.3 yards a game on the ground and gave up an average of 24.5 points a game. That’s not even an average defense for an NFL team. And as far as their running game, those numbers are inflated because that was all they could do…

I was wondering if Luck would have anybody to throw to. Plus Reggie is a leader in the locker room. Plus, now we can watch Garcon drop passes from RG3 instead of Luck!

Manning goes out and sees what money he can get after the huge contract is nullified by him being cut, and Irsay will match the lower contract he would have gotten elsewhere. Wayne sweetens the come back home pie.

Manning wants to stay in Indy and the franchise benefits from him never playing elsewhere. No wonder Manning said he couldn’t decide where to play. He was never going anywhere.

Rather low of them to use these other teams this way.

I am shocked at Wayne signing back with the colts….. Why would he do this? If Peyton signed with the Broncos, and they signed Wayne, it would be sick. Wayne, Thomas….. Pretty decent!

I believe Miami is out now. Without Brandon Marshall, and Wayne signed by the Colts, I doubt Peyton is going to sign with Miami.

With Reggie signing, can Peyton be far behind?;)

Hes also likely going to be able to say he played with 2 of the greatest QBs of all time.

Luck’s thrown 0 NFL passes and you’re already labeling him as one of the greatest?

No pressure on the kid…

How smart is Peyton? I’m guessing we all think he’s pretty smart. If that’s true, he’s smart enough to know that if he signs with Denver, he makes DeMaryius Thomas CalJo-lite.

Thomas is younger and more talented than any of those FA WRs listed, and he lit it up at the end of the season with Tim-freakin’-Tebow at the helm.

Prediction: Peyton signs with the Broncos and Thomas goes in the 2nd round in your fantasy football draft next year.

Reggie is staying because the Colts need him. The fans worship him. And he loves it here. Hes going to help Luck more than any coach on the team. Hes also likely going to be able to say he played with 2 of the greatest QBs of all time.

Plus, this will solidify his name into the Colts ring of honor.

-Reggie knows that Peyton is only a shadow of his former self and sticking following him wherever he goes would simple be a waste of time.

-Reggie believes in the Andrew Luck hype, he’s a cant miss prospect.

-Reggie is done as a receiver and Indy was the only place he would get paid 17 mil as a sweetheart ‘thanks for the memories’ deal.

-Reggie just genuinely likes Indy doesn’t want to leave.

Marshall gone. VJax gone. Mike Wallace tendered a first round offer. Moss gone (not as big a deal). Garcon gone. Morgan gone. Colston gone.

This Peyton tour taking a little extra time seems to be back-firing a little. Who else will whatever team bring in around him? Arizona’s most likely in the best position offensively. Denver? Miami without Marshall? Titans with a gimpy Britt? Better hurry…

I know there are other FA agents but after seeing how FA is shaping up I think Manning would rather choose a team with a legit #1 WR with the chance at getting a great/good #2 WR. The broncos will not be able to get two great WR in FA or the draft. I’m going to give the edge to the titans because of TE Cook and RB Johnson, they honestly have the better combination of weapons for him.

And I’m glad, it’s a great presence to have for the out QB-elect Andrew Luck.

As a balanced Football fan/purest – Why Reggie why? You could have played for any team in the league! Maybe your play has diminished? Idk, maybe you can be The ‘Steve Smith’ to Lucks ‘Cam Newton’

if Peyton signs with a $30M+ cap team like the Broncs or Phins… it’s gonna be: “which guys would you like us to get into a bidding war for you to throw to Mr. Manning?”

bad move Reggie…. you are gonna be out of the league before anything happens with Luck unless he sets all time rookie records…

I thought he could have been a nice addition and valuable second or third option to team with eyes on contending. I think Wayne will be a good veteran presence for Luck and a rebuilding Colts team, but I am disappointed to see a great player re-sign with a rebuilding team at the end of his career.
