Colts owner Jim Irsay was prepared to offer quarterback Peyton Manning a huge contract extension during the team's recent bye-week. However, Manning and his agent declared their preference to wait until after the season to complete a deal that should make Manning the highest-paid player in NFL history. "Any negotiation is a two-way street and we were ready to roll and we had a proposal, but they wanted to wait," Irsay said. "That's OK because every player is different. We had a bye week, and we thought we could have gotten [negotiations] rolling."
