Positive! Although keeping great players is never categorically stupid, you still have to wonder where the give is going to come from - if at all. The Colts' D is practically no-name, which helps (Dwight Freeney is the closest thing, and he's just coming up), so I'm doubting there's much big money tied up there. With Reggie Wayne around (whom Manning, in a recent interview with Michael Irvin, fully credits with the Colts' offensive explosion and his own Date With Destiny this season), Brandon Stokley, the TEs, you've got some guys who can catch. You sure as hell want to keep that line, the same starting lineup finishing up its fifth or sixth season this year. Edgerrin James? Maybe you could give him up, you've got Rhodes and Mungro, who the hell needs a monster running game in this offense? Oops, nfl.com just told me James is the league's leading rusher going into this weekend (funny how your big passing teams always seem to have a top-ten RB). My point: keep him only if it doesn't mean losing anyone else.
I'm guessing Dungy is going to manage his personnel flip-flop from the way he did in Tampa: this time, he keeps his core of talented, top-flight offensive players and rotates defensive guys through the draft or on the cheap. |
