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.
