Looks like Polian wants to keep the big running back and the beefy defensive tackle around in 2009:
The Indianapolis Colts have offered 1-year contracts to defensive tackle Daniel Muir and running back Lance Ball, who are both restricted free agents.Agent Anthony Paige confirmed the tender offers Thursday, hours before free agents can begin signing with new teams.
Ball was the kid who bashed his way through the Tennessee defense in the final game of the regular season last year. Muir played sparingly in 2008, but he has the size and quickness necessary to play NT in our Tampa-2.
Noticeably absent from the restricted free agency tender list is Freddie Keiaho. The deadline to offer restricted free agents a contract is today.
