You're the GM - Indianapolis Colts

[Dave Gray]

Edge could be on the move.
You have "protection problems". 
...and your kicker is a drunk.


What do you do?

[Brian Fein]

1.) sign edge - he's been the cornerstone of the offense for years, a stud RB doesn't come along every day.
2.) cut the drunk - he's overpaid and misses critical kicks.
3.) Trade Peyton Manning - his value is at its maximum right now.  you can get 3 boatloads of draft picks for him and build an even bigger empire.
4.) re-sign Reggie Wayne
5.) extend Freeney to a lifetime extension.

Trade Peyton Manning?

I'd like to hear a more detailed reasoning behind this instaed of "you can get boat loads of draft picks".

Blind hatred!!!!! 

[ADeadSmitty]

No team has enough draft picks to make trading Manning worth it.

[Phishfan]

Why bother keeping Wayne if you got rid of Manning is a pretty important question to ask also.

Here's what I do.

Let Edge go. You South Fla guys just love to hang onto those Cane's don't ya? Running Backs are a dime a dozen and get injured frequently. Let Edge go before you get too cap strapped with him (he will want money) and draft a new RB.

Resign Wayne

Don't worry about the O-line. These "protection problems" are an excuse people are giving because Indy got dominated by the blitz in the playoffs. Indy only gave up a league low 20 sacks all year.

Convince Dungy to cut Mannings Audibles.

If we have any money (man what kind of GM am I, I don't even know the cap status) look for veteran free agent help on defense.

1 - I make that punk Manning rework his deal because Indy will never add the missing pieces with him hogging all the riches. After that maybe they can go shopping.

2 - Dangle Edge in front of the Broncos. They've been eyeing Ricky, so they might be interested in Edge. Problem is Edge wants Edge money, & Ricky doesn't care. Put him on the block, see what you can get for him. But dont pay overpay for Edge.

3 - Resign Wayne

4 - Resign Makoa Freitas

5 - Trade Joseph Jefferson & try to upgrade at that position (CB)

6 - Resign Pyatt (WR)

7 - Trade Rocky Calmus --- try to get bigger on D. That small speed unit stuff was cute for awhile, but look what it did to you in the playoffs. You got run over.

I agree, but I don't see it happening.  I'm guessing the salary cap consequences of trading Manning are asstronomical - so he holds all the cards for a while.
