The media is playing this whole "Colts didn't get here till Mon. night" thing way too much. Should not even be an issue. They can get pissed at the Colts for waiting till' the last min. to get to Miami, but saying this might cause them the game is just plain stupid.


That's because it's the media, and they're mad they don't have quotes and excerpts to write their articles with if the team isn't there.

[cbotnyse]

IF the Colts should lose (which they are NOT going to) and hell freezes over :D , it's not going to be because Chicago arrived in Miami on Sunday with Indy arriving Monday night - that's just plain stupid. The media (can't blame them I guess, it's their job) is just reaching for something, anything to write about.

Yup, shorter deadlines, less time with players, Manning and all the other "stars" for Indy not being immediately available etc.....sure did piss off the media.

Yeah, early as in the AFC championship game. Yes, very early; same thing as not even making the playoffs. And by getting knocked off you mean playing in a game where the refs wear colts jerseys under their stripes.

Right....you've got to be kidding me. This coming from a Pats fan when everyone knows the Pats have had every ref on their payroll for the last 5 years.

gee....
I didn't know that if you touch a QB its a 15 yard roughing the passer penalty putting them right on the 1/2 yard line.
I also didn't know that if you grab a guy and throw him to the ground in the endzone before he even touches the ball, making him miss a catch that isn't pass interference.
I also had no clue that if Peyton throws a ball into the back of someone's head that IS pass interference.

Face it, once NO lost, the Pats were fucked. The NFL needed some kind of human interest story when "america's team" was out.

I find it hilarious that a fan of Tom Brady is complaining about a QB getting special treatment from refs.

It really sucks when that shit happens to your team huh? That shit has happened to the Colts every time they've played the Pats, only the shoes been on the other foot.

(I will give you a weak call for Manning, but do you really think that would matter? Wayne made the completion, the Colts were moving the ball, and were alreay in scoreing position.)

I'm not bitter at all. The Patriots didn't win, I'll cry myself to sleep upset over the fact that i have never seen them win it before. Oh, wait. My friend, Mike, who is actually a DIEHARD Indy fan, was at the bar with me during the AFC champ game....and when we saw that NO lost, he actually turned to me and said, "Sorry, Katie, but you guys are FUCKED. 20 bucks says that numerous bad calls in the last 5 minutes of the Pats/Colts game ultimately results in a Colts victory." Too bad I took that bet and lost.

And the Colts lost to the Patriots before because Manning decided to suck and throw numerous INT, not because of bad calls. The Patriots constantly get bad calls in the Playoffs (Um, Champ Bailey in Denver last year in the playoffs, anyone, anyone?).

But that's neither here nor there....I'm just saying that the Colts were handed 14 points in the game v. the Patriots. I really wish that you could challenge a lack of calls in terms of penalties. When Gaffney was in the endzone and whatshis face on the ponies grabbed him and threw him to the ground and that wasn't called. Come on now.

I do think the Colts will win on Sunday, though.

That’s such a joke. Ya, the NFL wants Peyton in soooooo bad because he’s the ‘face’ of the NFL that they paid a few Refs off. Then they went and paid off a few of the Pats players too. I mean, how much money does it take for a player to drop not one, but two catches WIDE FUCKING OPEN?? Total blown coverage by the Colts, no one even close, and dddddrrrroooopppppppp!! I don’t even know how you can say you are a fan of football and really, really believe that the fix was in. I bet they had Goodell on the phone watching the NO game. He’s telling them play by play……”now don’t forget….if NO doesn’t pull this out, the Colts have GOT to win, you hear me?!?”

And the Colts lost to the Patriots before because Manning decided to suck and throw numerous INT, not because of bad calls. The Patriots constantly get bad calls in the Playoffs (Um, Champ Bailey in Denver last year in the playoffs, anyone, anyone?).

Um, ya, I see you have pretty good selective memory there. I remember it quite differently. I remember Manning ‘sucking so band and throwing numerous INTs’ because the corners for the Pats were grabbing and pushing and knocking the Colts receiving corp. around illegally with out a call from the Ref. I said then it was totally bullshit what they did, but they were smart to keep doing it because the Refs let them get away with it.


But that's neither here nor there....I'm just saying that the Colts were handed 14 points in the game v. the Patriots. I really wish that you could challenge a lack of calls in terms of penalties. When Gaffney was in the endzone and whatshis face on the ponies grabbed him and threw him to the ground and that wasn't called. Come on now.

Well, I agree there that should have been called, but there were other plays that the Colts didn’t’ get that gave the Pats a break too. What it comes down to, is the Pats just didn’t finish the game strong. Almost no rushing yards in the second half, dropped passes, and bad throws, good reads by the Colts D (Sanders knocking down an pass, that if it had been completed, the Pats could have killed the clock, and of course the INT). Over all, that’s what happens with ‘home field’. If the Pats had won the game during the regular season and had the Colts at home for the playoffs, the outcome would have been totally different.



I do think the Colts will win on Sunday, though.


Gee, thanks….I guess.

One aspect that hasn't been discussed much in the endless Super Bowl buildup is Dolphin Stadium's natural grass field. Colts owner Bill Polianhas reportedly tried to change the surface, because we all know Peyton Manning is great in games played on paper.

You have no idea what you're talking about now. How do you think the O line knows what's going on after Manning starts doing the Tango at the line? It's Saturdays job to let the rest of the line know what the play is and what they need to get done on any given play.

**standing up on my soapbox**
I've said this before in just an education lesson, you should really think about the use of the word retarded when speaking with people you don't know. My wife and I are legal gardens of an mentaly retarted little girl that has been dealt a very shitty hand of cards form life. Just because you don't 'think' or 'mean' anything by it, doesn't mean it's not a very shitty thing to say or use in any conversation in an attempt to be funny.

I think Addai (sp?) should've gotten the MVP, he clearly had a bigger role in fighting for first downs. The Bears paved a yellow brick road for Peyton, so Peyton didn't do anything special in my eyes tonight.

And don't give me this "well it was raining" excuse. Listen folks, it rains ALL THE TIME during the NFL season and you never see this much chaos in a game.

who cares? They won the game. They completely outplayed the Bears in almost every aspect of the game. Do you think the Steelers or Seahawks looked like Superbowl calibur teams last year? Hell no. Just because it's the Superbowl doesn't mean its going to be a flawless game. Mistakes are made in every football game, but they are magnified a ton when it's the superbowl because people like you expect perfection.

To me, the team worthy of a Super Bowl is the one who not only plays better than the rest but also who overcomes their own mistakes on the field - such as overcoming being the worst running defense in the league during the reg. season and also overcoming the best defense in the league (and one of the best EVER) Baltimore, or overcoming a 21-3 deficit against the NE Patriots (a friggin' dynasty) or overcoming an opening kickoff return for a TD and an early interception to come back and win the SUPER BOWL!

:lol How do you judge who is "worthy" of the Super Bowl oh wise one?

:lol Yeah, it's real logical to judge who is worthy of a Super Bowl based on one game - thus either you were being a dick, or just a moron.

[thehoss]

um, yea, did people actually WATCH the game?? how is the weather not being mentioned as a god damn factor as well?

[dmbhoosier21]

um, yea, did people actually WATCH the game?? how is the weather not being mentioned as a god damn factor as well?

Without a doubt - although I think the nerves factored in with the weather. I was cringing everytime there was a tackle on the field cus it seemed like there was a fumble every other play. Both teams settled down though as the game progressed.

[dmbhoosier21]

BTW, I think the Super Bowl Champs Indianapolis Colts (:bounce) went through the top 3 defenses in the league.

Baltimore, Pats, and Chicago

It definitely was not the easy road the Colts had to play through.

Grossman will be better next year, the Bears have to be the favorites (although I don't know anything about their current salary/free agent situation) for the NFC next year.

[Trippin4136]

Congrats to the Colts. It's been a long time coming for this team and I'm happy to see Manning & Co. hold up the trophy.

[Tak_a_Tak]

Isn't crazy to think the Colts just won SuperBowl 41 (I'm coming slow be speeding) ?!?

Last year they were by far the odds on favorite to win. Blew teams out all season long, damn near went 16-0. A first round by, with home field though out the playoffs, then the shocking beat down from the Stealers and out right away.

This year was a dog fight every game. Lost to the freak'n Texans, gave up how many yards to the Jag's??? Don't even get me started on how poor the D played all season long......then Sanders makes in back into the line up....BOMB!!! They put together an unbelievable run through the playoffs, end up in the Superbowl and win it all.

I'm still a little shocked. I can't wait until next year for the banner going up, and the ring presentation.

Like Manning or Dungy (I forget) - I think it was Dungy alluded to this team not being the most talented the last 5 years but they were the most "ballsy" I guess. This team overcame a lot during the season. I have lost count as to how many close games the Colts had this season. Not going to lie, it was evident in my posts but I didn't think this was going to happen, I was a "doubting thomas" - I'm absolutely thrilled the Colts made me look like a douchebag of a fan for not believing.

Some Super Bowl Victory Parade info. although I am getting conflicting info. the paper said it starts at 4:30 but this says 4? Huh, oh well just get there early...........

A parade to honor the Indianapolis Colts - winners of Super Bowl 41 - will be at Downtown at 4:00 p.m. today, followed by a rally in the RCA Dome with the Super Bowl champions, said Pete Ward, senior executive vice president for the Colts.
The parade will begin on Maryland Street at West Street; head east to Illinois Street; turn north to New York Street and then east to Meridian Street. It will then turn south on Meridian and proceed around the west side of Monument Circle and continue south on Meridian Street to Georgia Street.
The route will then take the World Champion Colts down Georgia to the RCA Dome for a Super Bowl celebration.

The time was moved up due to cold weather, Myra Borshoff Cook, a spokeswoman for Colts owner Jim Irsay. The Colts players will remain in buses during the parade, she said.
Fans should dress warmly for the parade. While the dangerous wind chills should be gone by the time of the parade, today is still one of the coldest days of the winder.

[dmbgodagirl41]

Congrats, Indy :)

this was the dumbest thing i've ever heard in my life. any fucking average joe could see the hurricane all throughout the game, and notice it had a HUGE outcome in how the game was played. you are a fucking douchebag, and don't know what you're talking about. you could have thrown any single team in the nfl on that field that night, and mistakes were going to happen. im going out on a limb, and gonna say you never played a single down of organized football in your entire life?

That's funny, before the game Phil Simms (who was THERE and who PLAYED SEVERAL DOWNS in his time) said the weather would not be much of a factor. Bottom line is that a professional plays well in all weather conditions. Grow up man, this is FOOTBALL we're talking about. It's played in the rain somewhere like every week of the season (and it wasn't a hurricane drama queen). Case in point, did you see Peyton mishandling balls like Grossman did? That's the difference between a Pro who plays in all conditions and a guy who gets beaten by the positions.

Oh wise one, who is worthy of a Super Bowl? Is it one of the teams that didn't even make it to the playoffs, or is it one of the teams that was beaten by the Chicago Bears and Indianapolis Colts?

To me, the team worthy of a Super Bowl is the one who not only plays better than the rest but also who overcomes their own mistakes on the field - such as overcoming being the worst running defense in the league during the reg. season and also overcoming the best defense in the league (and one of the best EVER) Baltimore, or overcoming a 21-3 deficit against the NE Patriots (a friggin' dynasty) or overcoming an opening kickoff return for a TD and an early interception to come back and win the SUPER BOWL!

:lol Yeah, it's real logical to judge who is worthy of a Super Bowl based on one game - thus either you were being a dick, or just a moron.

The Chargers would have gone all the way I think had they not messed up against NE. After NE beat San Diego, someone in this very thread commented "Congrats indy, you just won the Super Bowl". Who was the best team this year? I think San Diego. Who won it all? The Colts. That doesn't take anything away from the Colts victory, I just personally don't think the Colts were the best team this year. Why do you care so much what I think? For instance, when the Bulls were winning with Jordan, there was no doubt the Bulls were the best team and they were winning championships too. Sometimes the best teams also win it all and live up to the hype and sometimes other teams come from behind. It's that "any given Sunday" thing.

[Tak_a_Tak]

[Tak_a_Tak]

They were saying today that Manning's thumb is messed up pretty bad. They down played it all week, but I guess it was really bothering him quite a bit. He said after the game it really helped him because he couldn't grip the ball as tight as he normally does, which is what you've got to do in a game played in the rain. I'm glad that didn't hold him back from winning the game.

[dmbgodagirl41]

Manning's thumb being messed up being a big deal = the beginning of a very long year of who can stuff their head up his ass farther ;)

:lol I agree SD is probably the best team on paper - but if that's the "measuring stick' we are going to use then the Indianapolis Colts would be a dynasty by now.

Again, the best team is the team that plays through mistakes, beat "better" teams and overcomes and handles the pressure the best (which SD obviously did not).


Again who is "worthy" of the Super Bowl? - the San Diego Chargers who with all their talent couldn't cut it? I really don't care what people think, the pleasure out of seeing the Colts win the Super Bowl is unaffected, I am just merely pointing out the absurdity of your argument that neither team being "worthy" of the Super Bowl, it's just plain idiotic.

Even though I was blacked out for most of the San Diego/Patriots game, I pretty much laughed hysterically when San Diego coaching YET AGAIN came shining through. No way in hell a team with LT should lose to a team who has Defensive core of 80 year olds, no WR and the ones they might have cannot catch to save their lives.

Oh, and if you can say Rex Grossman was worthy of a Super Bowl, yeaaaaaaah.......SB was the AFC Championship game, IMO.

Yup, being the "best" on paper is not even half the battle, NE have had championship teams who were not the "best" on paper, but they were the champions because they were the best team that handled the pressure.

Ehhh, looking back, I shouldn't have been all that impressed with the Saints. I mean, yeah, they were really good this year, and I think I thought it was going to be SD/NO in the super bowl. I think I was so "impressed" because they sucked so bad last year (well, for good reason) and then all of a sudden they don't blow and have Drew Brees.

Wow, it still doesn't seem real. Where did our defense come from? It was seriously like a different group in the post-season. People can knock them all they want, but I mean seriously... wow.

:shrug Doubtful, just because other QBs have more championships than he does. Basically his individual accomplishments will be ignored and people will only focus on championships even though football is the ULTIMATE team sport. But whatever, we Colts fans have always known.

See, I disagree. He has (or will have) every worthwhile QB record there is. Now nobody can say "but... he never won the big game." He has. AND he has the second half of his career to hopefully do it again. Watch and wait...

The Indianapolis Colts Super Bowl XLI Champions


......ok, what about a repeat?

Well, from what I have read Dungy is coming back, everyone is gonna be healthy (Sanders, hopefully Reagor), Simon is most likely not coming back, Stokley might be cut :shrug

Here are the list of free agents both restricted and unrestricted from the Indy Star:

Free agents
Here are the Colts who will become free agents before next season.
• Unrestricted*: DE Dwight Freeney, LB Cato June, CB Nick Harper, RB Dominic Rhodes, S Mike Doss, WR Aaron Moorehead, LB Rob Morris, WR/KR Terrence Wilkins, RB James Mungro, WR Ricky Proehl, DT Dan Klecko.
• Restricted**: CB Jason David, G Jake Scott, G Ryan Lilja, QB Jim Sorgi, LB Gilbert Gardner, DE Josh Thomas, TE Ten Utecht, DL Bo Schobel.

* Unrestricted means if the Colts don't sign the player or designate him their "franchise" player, he is free to sign with another team with the Colts receiving no compensation.

** Restricted is more complicated. A team must offer a restricted free agent a one-year contract heading into free agency or he becomes unrestricted. If the player is offered a one-year contract, he still can sign an offer sheet with another team. The Colts would then have seven days to either match the offer or allow the player to sign with the other team, in which case the Colts would receive a designated compensation.

[dmbgodagirl41]

repeat? excuse me........

































:lol

[dmbhoosier21]

Who should definitely be re-signed to have a good shot at a repeat, IMO: Freeney (our D is predicated on pressuring the QB without any blitzing), Lilja and Scott (O-line! I don't care how good Manning is, no QB can be successful without a solid O-line)

I'd like June back but I doubt it, Indy loses a LB every year, Nick Harper did pretty good this year, hope to get him back too. Our offense also needs TEs and Utecht is a young and very good receiving TE to go along with Clark.

Dominic Rhodes - I was critical of this guy throughout the season but .....he was a saviour in the playoffs, hope he can come back but his price definitely went up after the playoffs and a great SB.

Rob Morris - Sanders got most of the attn. but things really turned around when we put inserted Morris in (some beef! in the LB core) for Gardner. I doubt his asking price will be too much, he is getting up there in age.

Any DT, DE - our line is so small that we need to have depth at this position, it's a must.

Mike Doss - I actually think we can get away with not bringing this guy back....I dont know, Bethea did really well, and we can't keep everybody especially considering how much Freeney is going to cost.

Not going to pretend to know or understand anything about the salary cap but those are my thoughts.




It finally happened - Super Bowl Champions
GO COLTS!

Bears fan prepares to become Peyton Manning

DECATUR, Ill. (AP) - How do you spell Scott Wiese?

In a few weeks, that'd be P-e-y-t-o-n M-a-n-n-i-n-g.

Wiese, a die-hard fan of the Chicago Bears, signed a pledge in front of a crowd at a Decatur bar last Friday night that if the Bears lost Sunday's Super Bowl, he'd change his name to that of the man who led the Indianapolis Colts to victory.

Final Score: Colts 29, Bears 17.

So on Tuesday, Wiese went to the Macon County Courts Facility and started the process of changing his name.

"I made the bet, and now I've got to keep it," said the 26-year-old, who lives in Forsyth, just north of Decatur.

Wiese will now have to advertise his intention in the local newspaper - the Herald & Review - for several weeks and then have a judge give him the OK to become, legally anyway, Peyton Manning.

The men have little in common, Wiese acknowledges.

Manning the quarterback is 30 years old, stands 6-foot-5 and has a contract with the Colts worth more than $100 million.

Wiese is 5-foot-11 and works at a Staples office-supply store for somewhat less.

"I think I kind of represent all Bears fans," he said. "Not that I'm saying they're all idiots like me, but I represent their passion because I really care about my team, you know?"

Wiese's lawyer and friend, Andy Bourey, is handling the paperwork. He said he admires Wiese's sense of honor.

"I never doubted him," he said. "He's a man of his word."

While he pledged to take on the new identity, Wiese isn't sure how long he's willing to keep it.

Say, maybe, until the Bears' next Super Bowl appearance? Not likely, given that their last trip to the big game was in 1985.

"I mean, well, it may be another 21 years."


:lol :lol

I can't belive this guy is really going through with this.

[dmbhoosier21]

:lol :lol

I can't belive this guy is really going through with this.

Favorite line:

"I think I kind of represent all Bears fans," he said. "Not that I'm saying they're all idiots like me, but I represent their passion because I really care about my team, you know?"

:lol :lol There's a thin line between being passionate and being an idiot, I think the guy crossed it.

This should be a lesson to all.........Do not bet against the Super Bowl XLI Champions - Indianapolis Colts


Muahahahahahhahhaha

I am more worried about the salary cap situation.

#1 priority (outside Freeney) signing both of our offensive guards - that's a must

[dmbhoosier21]

I examined Manning's intense focus in the days leading up to the Super Bowl and how it rubbed some teammates the wrong way.
In a meeting two days after the AFC Championship game, at which logistics for the team's trip to South Florida were discussed, Manning stood up and disagreed with authoritarian team president Bill Polian, who'd informed players that restrictions at the Colts' hotel would not extend to the players' rooms. Manning essentially overruled Polian, standing up and saying that no one outside of players should be allowed on their floor, explaining, "I don't want any crying kids next to me while I'm trying to study."
At the time, there were grumblings of dissent from numerous Colts, including veteran cornerback Nick Harper, who later told me: "We were heated. People were saying, 'We're grown-ass men. We've got wives and kids, and we'll make those decisions for ourselves.'"

Maybe Manning should be focused on getting the 'crying kids' out of his locker room.


I don't see how ANYONE can think this is not Manning's team. If they're going to go against him, they may as well be off the team. Not that much different that say Jordan with the Bulls.

[dmbgodagirl41]

Funniest convo I had with my mom last night:
Mom: The Colts may have won the Super Bowl, but Peyton Manning is still really ugly.
Me: hahahahhahahaha yeah, that's true, and the most important thing in the NFL.
Mom: I mean, no one really gives a shit about who he is dating or what hot young number he can get, because well, he can't get one like Tommy can!
Me: There is a good reason for that, mom.
Mom: He looks like he has downs?
Me: No, he's married.
Mom: WHAT?!
Me: Yeah, he married his college girlfriend.
Mom: Who would marry THAT??
Me: And the kicker is, she's actually really cute.
Mom: (pause) Well, he's still ugly.
Me: That's true mom, that's true.

Have you bought any Colts merchandise yet?

Only thing I have is a Super Bowl Champions pennant.

I want to get some sort of commemorative book of some sort, DVD, and a hat ($30, rather expensive)

Know of any good places to get some stuff for cheaper, haven't really had a chance to really look for anything, been busy.

GO COLTS!

[dmbhoosier21]

There is no question that the Colts would like to retain Dominic Rhodes, but there are a number of teams who are likely to come calling. The Bengals will be in the market for a change-of-pace back because their own RB Kenny Watson is an unrestricted free agent himself. The Lions are another team that could have an interest. According to a team source, the Rams will be in the market for a backup running back like Rhodes in free agency and the draft.

Anyone hear about the chance of Indy getting the 2011 Super Bowl.

Indy can handle the crowd, Indy knows how to handle huge sports events (Indianapolis 500 anyone?)


The only thing is the weather, apparently the league does not like to have its Super Bowl ini cold weather cities. Though they have had it in cities like Detroit and Minneapolis, when can't Indy have one, with the new stadium.

No I havn't picked up anything yet. I've been too busy to even try and get out, plus I know in another week the prices will start to come down some.

A friend of mine is a big Steelers fan, and he picked up this dvd after last year that had all their playoff games, but with the local radio call for the audio. That would be cool as hell. I would love to have the entire Super Bowl, but with Bob Lamey doing the play-by-play. I'll have to keep in eye out for that one.

So are any Colts fans stranded at home this morning? I work about 15 minutes away from home (without traffic or bad weather), so I came in. Took me about 30-45 today. My wife stayed home though. She has to go from the southside to Noblesville every day.

As much as I hate to say it, I don't see any way Rhodes will be back. 1) with problems with the cape in today's game and Addi, it doesn't make business sense to keep him and 2) after the game of his life on the biggest stage, he'll be getting all kinds of offers for huge $$ (Randel-El any one??)

I"m sure we'll pick up a new back somewhere in the draft and still be just as good running next year as we were this year.

I've spoken with him a few times. He is always extremely friendly and willing to take a few seconds to talk to the fans.

There was one Colt who made a good impression on my wife and I. We were at a preseason game before the 2005 season and waited around afterwards to talk to some players, and some of the younger guys were walking out. Well, one of them was Matt Giordono (sorry if I butchered his last name). He was talking to these little kids, asking them if they wanted to be football players when they grew up and telling them to come out and see them again. I dunno.. some of the bigger names were just trying to get out of there, but this guy (who was pretty much unknown at the time) took a few minutes and made a real memory for these little kids. We thought it was pretty cool.

[Heavy As Stone]

So speaking of Rhodes, anyone hear anything about him getting picked up for DUI last night? I don't know any details, but my wife told me that they were talking about it this morning on Smiley.

He's coming back. Definitely.



Obviously, you want to come back. You want to defend the title. We’ve got such a great group of guys, that that’s eventually what draws you back every year.

He's not going back to Bridget. He dumped her three months ago because she said she wanted marriage and kids, and he said no. Ten bucks says they had one last romp and she went off the pill and planned it.

Indianapolis Colts tight end Dallas Clark was ejected from a girls' high school basketball game Saturday in Burnside, Iowa, apparently for something he said to an official. . . "(Clark) said something like, 'Your partners stink,' so Mr. Collison said, 'I want him out of here,'" Grandfield said. "Nobody even noticed. He was sitting by the gym door.

"I don't know if he said something before that. Dallas gets into the game. He supports his school. It was a good game, a heated game. But we have fans who say a lot worse things than that."

[dmbhoosier21]

Unrestricted

DE Dwight Freeney: His short-term fate was sealed Monday with the "exclusive franchise" tag. A better option for him and the team is a long-term contract. Stay tuned.
LB Cato June: The departure of quality linebackers needs to end (Mike Peterson, Marcus Washington, David Thornton). The former Pro Bowler should be retained unless his price is unreasonably high.
RB Dominic Rhodes: An invaluable sidekick to Joseph Addai and a force during the Super Bowl run. But he might want to be "the guy'' somewhere else and be paid accordingly.
CB Nick Harper: Has been the team's best corner the past three seasons, but he might be deemed expendable considering the presence of so many young, high draft picks at the position (Jason David, Marlin Jackson, Kelvin Hayden, Tim Jennings).
S Mike Doss: Was playing the best ball of his career when he suffered a season-ending knee injury on Oct. 22. The injury and the emergence of Antoine Bethea might make him expendable.
LB Rob Morris: One of the reasons for the defense's dramatic turnaround in the postseason. He deserves a multiyear deal based on his contributions as a starter, backup and special-teams contributor.
WR Aaron Moorehead: Competent backup to Pro Bowlers Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne. Indy is a nice spot for him, unless he gets the chance to be a No. 2 elsewhere.
RB James Mungro: Could return as an affordable No. 3 back. His rehab from a preseason knee injury is on schedule.
DT Dan Klecko: Worth re-signing. He's one of those important players whose versatility -- he also proved valuable as a blocking/receiving fullback -- can save a roster spot.
KR Terrence Wilkins: Might be brought back at some point, but the team used a seventh-round pick in the '06 draft on T.J. Rushing with the idea he would be the return man.
LB Rocky Boiman: Might want to go elsewhere if there's a chance to play on defense. Failing that, he might be a decent option before training camp.
WR Ricky Proehl: Adios. The 17-year veteran announced before the Super Bowl his intention to retire.


Restricted

G Jake Scott: Has earned a contract, developing into a top-notch starter on one of the league's premier offensive lines.
G Ryan Lilja: See above.
CB Jason David: Yes, he's undersized (5-8, 180 pounds), but he's also too good to dismiss. Might require a mid-level qualifying offer (see definitions below).
LB Gilbert Gardner: Tough decision. Will another year in the system pay dividends, or was his inability to hold onto the starting strong-side spot evidence he's out of his league?
QB Jim Sorgi: Worth bringing back. He knows the system and could run the offense in the short term if the unthinkable happens.
TE Ben Utecht: Key component in the tight-end rotation. His best years are ahead of him.
DE Josh Thomas: Keeps improving. A solid backup for starters Freeney and Robert Mathis.
DE Bo Schobel: Role player. If he doesn't get interest elsewhere, maybe he's re-signed during offseason.
