Super Bowls: 1971 Super Bowl V
Background:
Quarterback Peyton Manning, a league co-MVP last
season who helped advance Indianapolis within a game of the
Super Bowl, got a new $99.2 million deal with a $34.5 million
signing bonus. In large part because of the record bonus,
Manning is scheduled to make an annual salary of $14.17 --
another record. Quarterback Peyton Manning, wide receiver
Marvin Harrison and running back Edgerrin James are all coming
off of good seasons and if they remain healthy, figure to
keep the production up. Perhaps just as significant, the trio
got support from other targets in the passing game, most notably
wide receiver Reggie Wayne.
