6 years $40 Million
At least that’s what the brass in Indianapolis think. Reggie Wayne got a six-year $40M contract, including a $13.5M signing bonus. This basically means the Edgerrin James era is over in Indy. Edge knew it was coming, even saying his time was over when he appeared on the NFL Network’s Super Bowl coverage.
To retain both James and Wayne, he added, would require significant changes in the roster. That probably would entail “drawing a line through” the names of several players, cutting them to make room for Wayne and James under the projected salary cap of roughly $95 million.
“And I don’t know if you can draw enough lines, even if you wanted to,” Polian said. “And you may not want to because it would weaken the team so much in other capacities.
