    An injured Peyton Manning has been resisting Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay's attempts to make him the highest-paid player in the NFL. Manning got his wish. He has agreed to a five-year deal for $90 million, or $18 million a year -- equal to what New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is making, sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen Saturday. A Colts source said Manning had told Irsay a five-year, $100 million proposal that was heavily back-loaded in the final two years was not necessary to give him a $20 million average that no NFL player has ever attained.
