Peyton is unwillilng to be the highest paid player

in the league. He says it could hurt the Colts in keeeping their best players and signing the top unresticted free agents. Class act, but decide for your self.

It's the smart thing to do. He's seen that he can't carry the team the WHOLE time.

He needs to take it! I support whatever will decrease the Colts' chances of winning the division TITANS!

Good gesture, will only make around 17 or 18 mil a year instead of over 20 mil a year

If he was not holding out for the top dollar, he would have already signed a new deal. The fact is that he was holding out for the biggest contract and that is why he did not sign a deal a year ago and why there is not a deal now. With the lock out over and the pressure to sign a new deal in the face of the Clots entering the season short of top talent, he is now willing to make a move that saves face.

So your saying if it wasn't for the lockout he would have more than welcomed being the top paid player even though they still needed players to help.

The details have come out.....Jughead is going to make $23 million each of the next 3 seasons and about $10.5 the last two seasons of the contract.

So Saint Peyton is the highest paid QB in the league and all of the talk about giving back to help the team is bogus. He is not going to play at $10.5 million a year the last two seasons. This is essentially a 3 year deal to close out his career.

Funny, because the 100 million dollar deal he turned down was heavily backloaded. Wonder why he did that.

Exactly, after he's already made over 100 mil.

The top players are pressured to sign and get paid as much money as possible because that sets the market for everybody else.

If Peyton were to be paid an average of 10 million per over five years instead of whatever the actual average is(18 million or whateves) then a player like Sidney Rice would only average something like 4.5 million per instead of 8.2 he just inked with the Seahawks.

What do you think Peyton is more concerned about? (A)Winning games/championships or (B)adding to his enormous bank roll?

If you answer B then I have to question your sanity.
