The Facts:
Colts owner Jim Irsay hopes to sign Manning to a contract extension when the season ends, a move that could make the four-time MVP the highest-paid quarterback in NFL history.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Manning’s contract is set to expire after the 2010 season, but Irsay doesn’t want to wait. A new deal could keep Manning in Indianapolis for the rest of his career, something Irsay would like to do. Manning signed a $98 million deal in 2004. His brother, Eli, has since signed a six-year, $97 million contract, giving him a higher per-year average than his brother. Irsay said it’s likely Peyton will regain the status he once held as the league’s highest-paid QB.
