Edgerrin James: FA?

Edgerrin James - RB - Colts


The Indianapolis Star doesn't expect Edgerrin James to be with the Colts in 2006.
Because of the uncapped 2007 season, teams will have to "frontload" deals, causing immediate salary cap hits when a marquee free agent signs. The Colts can't squeeze Reggie Wayne and James in, so Edge is likely to go. Indianapolis could look for a running back in the draft. Jan. 22 - 11:49 am et

If the Colts have to pick between Edge and Wayne, I think there is no doubt that they'll be taking Edge. He's vital to the Colts offense, and I doubt that another RB could be nearly as effective.

I disagree. The Colts would 1. Have to pay Wayne less (Which is important with Freeney out there) and 2. Would have an easier time finding a quality RB in free agency or the draft then they would a WR. IF they only keep one I think it will be Wayne.

Yea I declared him as one of my keepers . I see no reason as to why get rid of him, he has great talent and needed skill over the others. Why get rid of your club leading rushing holder? If he does leave that could be better for him getting his name out and not being overshadow like recent years with Manning and Harrison.

The only way i can forsee Edge being on the Colts is if the NFL players association signs a contract with the NFL to extend the salary cap and make deal working more doable.

i dont see him coming back to indy next year. There are a few teams that could be very interesting with him. I personally wouldnt mind seeing him in a carolina uniform. let foster go and have davis retire, might create enough room to bring him in. With stevie smith and edge, things could be nasty in carolina for other teams.

Wow. i really didnt think that they would let Edge go. Who would they be looking at getting? They couldnt get any big name guys if they wanted to get rid of Edge because of cap issues. Anyone have a list of FA running backs?

They got Rhodes and Mungro. If you watch Edge run anymore, you dont see the cuts and making people miss. Hes a straight ahead runner. Assumming Rhodes and/or Mungro can find the holes, they'd be just as successful as Edge.

you dont think they would draft or pick an rb in free agency?
