According to Mike Florio of ProFootballTalk.com, the Indianapolis Colts can sign quarterback Andrew Luck beginning on Friday if they’d like to, per NFL spokesman Greg Aiello.
The only thing we’re waiting for are some coin tosses that will occur on Friday to determine some draft positions due to tiebreakers.
In the past, teams with the first overall pick have signed the prospect that they plan on drafting before the draft even started.
But in this case, I highly doubt that Colts owner Jim Irsay wants to draw even more attention to himself or Peyton Manning by signing Luck to a contract right now.
With the rookie wage scale in place, it wouldn’t be that difficult. It would just be another public relations nightmare for the Colts. But then again, Irsay’s familiar with those.

So I guess the billboard theme has pretty much taken over the sports world. If you want a player to come to your team, or if you just want your star player to not leave your team, you get a billboard. For some reason I just have the feeling that Miami fans wasted their money. Don't really have a rhyme or reason, but I can't see Peyton Manning in green and orange. Hopefully...

Maybe this is a sign that owner Jim Irsay and the Colts are going to keep Manning. OK, maybe not, but don’t be surprised when Andrew Luck’s picture...

Before anyone barges in here with pitchforks and gunpowder, please remember that I am a Miami Dolphins fan and I’m incredibly bitter about my favorite NFL team’s struggles. That said, I’m not exactly on the same page just yet as the people who are behind the new website, Manning To Miami.

NFL Number One Draft Picks are not Always Lucky

For every Peyton Manning, there is a Tim Couch. For every Cam Newton, there is a JaMarcus Russell. Franchise quarterbacks are often the trendy choice for teams lucky (or unlucky) enough to get the first overall pick in the NFL Draft. Every number one draft pick is basically a roll of the dice, and quite often, those franchise quarterbacks end up crapping out.
In the last 20 years...
