Actually our passing offense will be better without Peyton forcing balls to Marvin I believe.
I watch every Colts game a million times, Peyton had his best game of the season without Marvin. We played 2007 without Marv.
He had a bad attitude lately IMO and its time to move on. Gonzalez is going into his third year and with him, Wayne and Clark we have more than enough passing weapons then we will add one in the draft.
Harrison has been declining and will only continue to get worse before he gets better. This is the best thing that could happen for the colts. At the very least, in the long run.
Change it to Marvin or Colts or something... I was terrified we released Rodney for injury reasons or something.
Gonzalez will now have to play on the outside for the entire game, and the Colts have just become much easier to game plan.

I personally do not think it ended well with Harrison and Polian.
It did, right about the time Marvin realized that Polian inked a contact with Peyton that would eventualy make his salary decrease.

There was absolutely no way in the world Harrison could stay on this roster with his current contract: he had a base salary of $9 million, counted $13.4 million against the cap, and the Colts have no cap space.
But the report that jumps out at me is that the Colts wanted to restructure his contract, yet Harrison refused? I don't know the details of the restructure, but if Harrison could make that $9 million over two years rather than one, I'd say he should have jumped all over it. I have a feeling that he's placing his value around the NFL a lot higher than it actually is. Based on his performance the last two years, I don't see a lot of teams paying big bucks to a 36 year-old receiver.
polian will find another good WR like he found wayne and clark and gonzalez in the draft. colts wont miss much in the long run.
Why do people make such a big deal over Peytons contract after all he does for the team and you see contracts like the one Big Ben and Eli have and others?
If you want to complain about a contract on the Colts complain about someone like Bob Sanders who misses so many games.
Marvin is simply not worth being paid much at this point in his career, many declining veterans are not. They might think they are worth it, but they are not.
Perhaps people feel we overpaid for Hayden. However he is a 25 year old corner on the rise who is one of the reasons our passing defense is so good.
It's a harsh business and often well known vets have to go, the ones who you cannot live without are the ones who should get paid and usually they are in their prime when they get paid. Thats why Peyton and Freeney became the highest paid at their positions and they would have been paid pretty well on the market.
Gee wiz, I don't know. Perhaps because $21.2 Million for one guy is..well...stupid.
