What should the Colts do at QB?
You have an opinion. I know you do. I have an opinion on this but ESPN Stats and Info only knows numbers. The numbers suggest Peyton Manning may not be the best bet for the Colts:
Manning will turn 36 in March, but his window for success is still open. Three starting quarterbacks have won Super Bowls at 36 or older, Jim Plunkett, Johnny Unitas and John Elway. But things get a...

The future for Freeney and Mathis
Len Pasquarelli reports that there are teams converting to the 4-3 that would love to have Dwight Freeney or Robert Mathis as part of their plans:
If the Colts switch to a 3-4 front - a transition that could be dicey given their defensive personnel, but one with which new coach Chuck Pagano is most familiar - Mathis and Freeney are poor fits. Neither has the bulk to play 3-4 end...

Chappell: Odds against a Wayne return
Mike Chappell would love to see Reggie Wayne return but knows the odds aren't great:
ANSWER: I would put the odds of Reggie returning at less than 50-50. I agree it would be a huge boost to Andrew Luck or Robert Griffin III to have a quality receiver. Just not sure that’s going to happen. I don’t believe Reggie wants to break the bank on what will be his final contract...
