Damn. Not bad to sit behind PM

 

It's basically a one-year deal......a two-year deal makes it easier on the salary cap.

 

That's a sweet deal.

 

Those 14 mill or 10 mill mean nothing after the first season Colts will dump Collins and he will never see that money.... This is such a non-story its silly

 

$2.5 to sign his name? I'd like this story to be about me.

 

Yeah. I'd take 2.5 Mill for this story to hold my name in it. Hell, I'd take 1.5 Mill
