I still believe Wayne will not hold out…. BUT how will this affect the team, the chemistry and the common goal of winning SB45???? Anything less than a SB is a failure…… we need perfection!! DARN IT!!!

Peyton’s contract is up sooner…. and seems like his is not even moving forward….. why does Wayne have to do this at this time when he has two years left??

tone of the way he went about answering the questions. Maybe it’s just me, but he seems to be getting a bit cocky about it. I don’t know. I really hope he just shuts up and does what he says “just go out and play football.” It’s been said a hundred times and I’ll say it again…you signed the contract now do your job. I have had the utmost respect for Reggie, but if he holds out, then I will lose a ton of it.

I may get blasted for my views, but so be it. Opinions are like ass holes…everybody’s got one.

come and play football.
Well Reggie, DO SO.
Besides, its not the only thing you “can” do. That’s the thing you MUST do. Why? Well, you’re paid to play football, attend training camp, so on. He still has a contract saying all that.
His tone isn’t very inspiring.

we can always count on you for local TV news on the Colts… :)

…Your opinions may be unpopular with the majority, but certainly not with me :) I thought Reggie came across as deeply cocky and entitled in that video, and regardless of how eloquently some of you have explained it, I just can’t muster up much sympathy for his ‘plight.’ Watching that video made me wonder whether the infamous WR Diva Disease is eventually contracted by every single wide out in the league!

I agree with those who feel he’ll show up to training camp, at that’s certainly in his OWN best interest. However, to what extent will his attitude affect his work ethic and performance?

…you could also ‘take a nap’, and resolve once you’ve woken up to disagree with people politely rather than in an amazingly condescending, obnoxious fashion that serves to totally invalidate your point.

why vicious attacks on BBS? I saw writings or comments similar in tones or degree of condescension from some people but those seem to be ok but not BBS’s?? I am NOT a fan but the attacks on him are quite brutal…..

It’s obvious we all care deeply about our team. But i think we all need to remember that it’s just football… a business. People matter much, much more, but we’re not acting like it. I’ll ask for a bit of decorum, please, if i may.

Not by a lot, but underpaid nonetheless. $40m over 6 years is below market for a #1 on his team, top ten in the league receiver. And this is Wayne’s last chance to rectify that and get paid what he’s worth on the open market. Because of the CBA problems at the end of this season, if he doesn’t get paid now not only will he not get a raise, he may have to take a cut when the NFL eventually starts again.

Withdrawing his labour is the only way he has of trying to get paid what he should be being paid. I’m entirely OK with him holding out of training camp, holding out of the off-season, even missing games. That’s his right. And it’s the Colts’ right to move on without him and integrate Gonzalez and Garcon into starting roles in the offense.

There’s no point getting emotional about business.
