Which would be straight up stupid. Edge could have been resigned after the gimpy 03 season he had. Now, in terms of money, he's untouchable. They can sign him, but it'd mean playing practice squaders on defense (and whatever the jokes may be, they need some sort of defense).

Personally I think this was a poor decision, Harrison is of a certain age right now and the price tag is straight up insane. Colts really must have had some space under the cap to sign both players to these meteoric numbers. I expect a big chunk of Harrison's pay will be squeezed out in the next 2 seasons. What bothers me is that there's no guarantee Marvin will be a Jimmy Smith and not a Jerry Rice (y'all know what I mean).

So, check the alternative - let Marvin go, keep Stokley and Wayne. Sure, productivity will decrease, but you dont NEED 50 passing touchdowns every season, this team has the luxury of OVERPRODUCTION. The important point however, is that with the space Marv now occupies, a free agent defensive player like Fred Smoot could've been signed. Heck they could've traded Marv away, why dont more people do that when the contract's expiring?

It's just silly, with Harrison still there, we're all set for Peyton Manning to have the greatest QB numbers (yardage, TDs) ever, but I dont believe it'll lead to many superbowls. This team will end up the being the airhead bimbo of the NFL - pretty, ocassionally phenomenal, never good enough to sustain winning beyond the divisional playoffs.
