"We know Peyton’s going to be paid, along with (New England quarterback Tom) Brady, at the top of the league," Irsay said. "But it’s really important to make sure we get a deal that for the next four, five, six years works for the franchise. ..." The Colts expect Manning, who had surgery March 2 to relieve pain in his neck, to participate fully in the offseason program, which begins April 12.
