Colts owner Jim Irsay expects to open negotiations with Tom Condon, Peyton Manning's agent, shortly after the April 22-24 draft and "hopefully getting something done sooner rather than later." Manning's contract expires after the 2010 season. "We know Peyton's going to be paid, along with (New England quarterback Tom) Brady, at the top of the league," Irsay said. "But it's really important to make sure we get a deal that for the next four, five, six years works for the franchise." Manning underwent surgery March 2 to relieve pain in his neck.

Colts owner Jim Irsay expects contract talks with quarterback Peyton Manning to heat up later this spring. Irsay has maintained his team's desire to sign the star quarterback to an extension prior to the start of the 2010 season, but it will be more of a priority after next month's draft. Manning has one year left on his current deal.

The Colts have added former Bears offensive coordinator Ron Turner as wide receivers coach and former Virginia special teams coordinator Ron Prince as assistant offensive line coach. Indianapolis also changed the titles of four other coaches. Tom Moore will be senior offensive assistant, while Clyde Christensen has been promoted from assistant head coach/wide receivers to offensive coordinator.

The Colts have added free-agent offensive tackle Adam Terry. A 2005 second-round draft pick of the Ravens, Terry agreed to a one-year contract with the Colts on Friday after a visit earlier in the week. He was a restricted free agent who was not tendered a one-year offer by the Ravens.

The Colts have re-signed linebacker Gary Brackett to a five-year, $33 million contract. "Obviously, this is a great place to play and when you get a chance to stay a Colt for life, you usually jump at it," Brackett said during a news conference at the team's complex. "That's why I wanted to do everything within my power to make this my home." Brackett officially become an unrestricted free agent on Thursday night.

The Colts are on the verge of a deal with Gary Brackett, according to John Clayton of ESPN. Brackett may have been on the wish list of the New York Giants.

Peyton Manning underwent surgery on his neck on Tuesday. The Colts characterized it as not being serious, however.
