    Mike Chappell of the Indianapolis Star reports Robert Mathis' desire for an enhanced contract has resulted in the team's two-time Pro Bowl defensive end avoiding the ongoing organized team activities, according to an individual with knowledge of the situation. The on-field, non-contact practices are voluntary, but Mathis has been a diligent participant in the past. The Colts have held three of their nine OTA sessions, and a fourth is Thursday. The team does not comment on contract issues and Mathis could not be reached. Mathis, 29, has two years remaining on a front-loaded $30 million contract he signed in 2006, he's due a base salary of $2.31 million this season and $2.4million in 2011.

    He's a pro-bowl talent at a position the Colts place extreme value in. If he wants to come back to the team, I believe he will be.

    Also, he has 2 years remaining, this upcoming year & next.
     
  5. they didn't draft Jerry Hughes to sit on the bench.
     
  6. They drafted Hughes to help keep Freeney and Mathis healty. That being said after that pick it is not the time to try and push Polian.
