Indianapolis Colts’ Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne Package Deal; Great Idea

Indianapolis Colts’ Peyton Manning and Reggie Wayne could potentially be a package deal, wherever they end up.

Reggie Wayne is a free agent who has openly talked about the possibility of leaving the Indianapolis Colts. It would be hard to imagine the Colts without the dependable veteran, Reggie Wayne. However, this is a business and more importantly Wayne wants to win another championship. He may have to leave the Colts to achieve that goal. More than likely the Colts will put an offer on the table, and who knows if Wayne will accept it. He has talked about how he would love to finish his career in Indianapolis.

Peyton Manning could become a free agent if the Indianapolis Colts were to release him because of his neck injury. Manning has been the Colts signal caller for 13 years. Typically, when you have a guy stay at a franchise for so long he can decide when he is ready to go. This situation is a different scenario though, with the Colts drafting a quarterback in April’s draft to essentially replace Manning.

These two players have been teammates for 10 years, and their chemistry and ability to understand each other on the field is a big deal. It takes years to build the connection these two guys have and whoever gets them will acquire so many good things.

The idea that these two guys can be a package deal  just proves that they don’t care about the money, but about championships. It is essential to sign both players. I believe when the Colts and Manning agree on a reconstructive, they will follow up by singing free agent wide receiver Reggie Wayne.

These two guys have been criticized for being past their prime, but that couldn’t be any further from the truth. The experience alone that they would bring to a team is unmatched by any other free agent in this years off season.

Bottom line is as a coach you are always looking for two guys that can carry the load and lead a team to the playoffs and beyond. Manning and Wayne not only bring that with them, but would be an off season steal.

Jim Irsay must resign both of them, to avoid any backlash from the fans. How bad would it sit in any Colts fan’s stomach to watch “Manning to Wayne for a win”, on any team but the Colts.
