2. "it would've been awkward for him to come back." In response to Reply # 1 Tue Aug-25-15 12:52 AM by will_5198
his contract was up, so if the Colts resigned him it would've been a one-year deal to be the sixth option behind Hilton/Johnson/Montcrief/Allen/Gore (dump-offs). better for him to retire, or go to a team where he could possibly play, than be a franchise legend who spends 2015 as a game day inactive.
in his age-37 season and slowed even more by major knee surgery at 35, this is Belichick adding to his personal favorites collection as a coach (see: Junior Seau). Wayne is about the only Manning-era Colt on offense he's ever respected (probably Edge too).
