When we last heard from Colts receiver Reggie Wayne, he hinted that he might hold out of training camp.
Several days later, he posted a journal entry on his official website that strongly suggested he’ll be at training camp from Day One.
In an entry titled “It’s About That Times Ladies And Gentleman,” Wayne all but says he’s showing up.
“Is it that time already Colts fans,” Wayne writes. “Seems just like yesterday I [was] cleaning
out my locker getting ready for the off-season. I guest it’s true when
they say, ‘time waits for no man’. So Anderson Indiana here come the
Mighty Indianapolis Colts to invade your town for a few weeks.
“All of my friends
keep telling me how they can’t wait for me to go back to work because
they want to see some football. Then we get into a debate about how
they cutting my vacation short. But at the same time, it’s raining
every day in South Florida due to hurricane season. So maybe it is time
to play some football. Not much else to talk about at this point in time.
I’m about to go sit by the pool with a glass of lemonade (that’s right
LEMONADE) and enjoy my last few days of freedom. Talk to you soon.
GO COLTS!”
Wayne posted that entry on July 21; the Colts open camp on Sunday. So even though he wants a new contract and team president Bill Polian has insisted that Wayne won’t be getting one, it looks like Wayne is willing to continue to honor his current deal, which has two years remaining.
