Colts owner Jim Irsay still believes the team can sign franchise quarterback Peyton Manning to a long-term contract. Because of the lockout rules, Irsay hasn't talked much lately with Manning, whose seven-year, $99.2 million contract expired at the end of the 2010 league year. Irsay has previously said he expects to make Manning the league's highest-paid player, and he remains hopeful that a long-term agreement, separate from the $23.1 million franchise tender afforded to the quarterback in February. "Obviously, things have been put on hold, because of what you're permitted to do," Irsay said. "But I'm still confident that we can get a long-term agreement done. And I think we've probably added to our proposal to him, with our first two draft picks, both really great young offensive linemen (Anthony Castonzo and Ben Ijalana). I think we can get something done. "Again, it's been on hold, but it's something we can get back on track and get something done with him and (agent) Tom Condon, and that's what we're going to try to do on a long-term deal."
