| 3rd February, 2006 - 6:01 am |  Indy Star - Edgerrin James has resigned himself to the fact his playing days with the Indianapolis Colts are over.
"I don't see nothing happening,'' he said Thursday night after a taping session here with the NFL Network. "You can read between the lines and from the things I'm hearing, nothing's going to happen.
"And that's crazy, man. I'm part of the solution, I'm not part of the problem. Crazy, man.''
The Colts retained James for the 2005 season by naming him their "franchise'' player. He played his seventh season under a one-year, $9.1 million contract.
The team had no comment Thursday night on James' statements.
Team president Bill Polian has made it clear in recent interviews the Colts' offseason priorities included retaining wide receiver Reggie Wayne, who like James will become an unrestricted free agent in early March, and extending the contract of three-time Pro Bowl defensive end Dwight Freeney.
James has heard the talk, and noticed how his name seldom is at or near the top of the Colts' list. He wonders how that can be, how a two-time league rushing champion who will appear in his fourth Pro Bowl on Feb. 12 can be so underappreciated, so easily replaced. [READ] |
