Positive move for the Defense

I'm not the one who's going to question the moves made by the best GM in the league in that of Polian.  We can question whether Hayden was overpaid while still being unproven, but the fact is that Polian is showing comittment to the Defense and avoiding yet another good player walk in free agency.  I look at Hayden's signing more as a positive than a negative, and should now secure the Colts as one of the best secondaries in the league.  At age 26, he still has room to become even better while still having the experience that he has gained thus far.  We don't know whether the Hayden signing is a good-bye to Harrison, Saturday, etc.., but yet can only speculate.  I'm more on the let's wait and see rather than the thinking of damn, the Colts are going to  lose Harrison, Saturday, and Keiaho.  With that said, the D in my opinion will be better next year than the '05 and '07 defenses not only because of this signing, but because of having pretty much everyone back and plus some.  Adding a DT or two in the draft should solidify that position along with A. Johnson, Foster, Dawson, and Brock (on passing downs).  Hopefully now with some Polian magic, the Colts will be able to retain Saturday and Harrison...and with a little bit more of a dose, lets add a "Edge" to it.
