However, Manning told the Indianapolis Star on Friday that he’s willing to take less money if it means the Colts can retain more players and remain aggressive in the open market.

“While I appreciate Jim Irsay offering to make me the highest-paid player, I told him I’d rather he save that money and keep whoever it is … Joe Addai, Charlie Johnson, whoever that may be,” Manning said, per the Indianapolis Star. “I’m willing to take less than they’ve offered if they are going to take that money to keep players we need to keep and go get other players.

“All I want is for them to have the cap and the cash to keep the players they want to keep and to sign other players.”
