Peyton Manning will become an unrestricted free agent after the season, but the Colts still fully expect to sign him to an extension beforehand. Indianapolis owner Jim Irsay has said that he's ready to make Manning the highest-paid player in NFL history, but president Bill Polian says that the team has no timetable to reach an agreement. Manning's current deal -- seven years, $98 million -- was finalized after the 2004 season.
