Chris Mortensen is reporting that Peyton Manning has re-signed with the Colts for $90 million over five years — $69 million over the first three years, $21 million over the last two. But the $18 million per year puts him on par with Tom Brady’s recent deal.
In fact, Mort claims Jim Irsay told him that Peyton would have settled for less than Brady, but Irsay wouldn’t have it. As I’ve said before, Irsay’s a class act.
