QuoteColts running back Edgerrin James told the Indianapolis Star he believes his playing days in Indianapolis are over.
"I don't see nothing happening,'' James told the newspaper Thursday night. "You can read between the lines and from the things I'm hearing, nothing's going to happen.
"And that's crazy, man. I'm part of the solution, I'm not part of the problem. Crazy, man."
James is one of four Colts starters that could become unrestricted free agents this year, along with receiver Reggie Wayne, linebacker David Thornton and defensive lineman Raheem Brock.
Colts general manager Bill Polian has said the team's offseason signing priorities are retaining Wayne and working out a contract extension for defensive end Dwight Freeney.
James has taken exception to his name rarely, if ever, being mentioned among those priorities and told the paper he'll see who wants his services when the free agent signing period opens March 3.
"Maybe I'll get to a situation where somebody appreciates me," James told the Star. "I'm going to always be a ballplayer. You know I've got game. You can't knock what I do.
"I'm a running back like Walter Payton, somebody who played a long time. I'm in that mold ... guys who played 12, 13 years and always were consistent."
James, in his seventh NFL season, rushed for 1,506 yards and 13 touchdowns on 360 carries this past season and is headed to the Pro Bowl after his fourth 1,500-yard season.
The Colts were 3-13 the season before drafting James with the fourth overall pick in 1999. Indianapolis then posted a 13-3 record in James' rookie season, in which he won the first of two straight rushing titles.
"At the end of the day I can say I did my part," James told the paper. "I did what they asked me to do. At the end of the day the truth will be seen and everybody will see what kind of player I am and how important of a player I am.
"For somebody else to come in and do what I did, it would be tough. Look at the difference when I'm there and when I'm not there. That's all you got to do."
Since 1999, the Colts are 77-35 -- 70-26 when he plays, 7-9 when he doesn't, according to the Star.
The Colts had no comment on James' statements, the Star reported.
I would ejaculate with glee if the Eagles signed James. Of course they would then proceed to use him ineffectively, but until the season started, I would be farging psyched.
I'd rather they sign Brock, personally. GET BROCK!
GET EDGE! AND PORTER! AND ALEXANDER! :crazy :boom
CAN YOU IMAGINE THE 4-HEADED MONSTER OF JAMES/ALEXANDER/WESTBROOK/MOATS.
I think I just came!

I'm getting a wishboner. :D
I smell wishbone! We won't even need that whiner McNabb. We'll never need to throw again!
I would love to see a game where Reid calls less than ten passing plays.

Only way that happens is if the Eagles turn the ball over on the first play of every offensive possession and the defense can't get off the field at all. Basically, the Eagles would have to have less than 20 offensive plays in the whole game.

thats one FA that wouldnt surprise me...hell they did scout the guy.
... and on top of that, got to see that he turned out to be a pretty good DE. Wouldn't surprise me at all if they went after him.

Quote"I don't see nothing happening,'' James told the newspaper
So if what I remember from third grade is correct, he'll be a Colt next year with a new contract.
Correct. A double negative = a positive.
jeez, now you want them to have a 3rd grade education too?
all i want is for them to never talk again. ever.
but i guess you only get so much for the pathetic salary's their making now.
I'd rather have Lendale White. He'll cost less than James to sign as a rookie, and James won't be worth what it would take to sign him because he'd be splitting carries with 2 other backs.
Neither White or James will be in Philadelphia.
Carolina would be a place I could see James ending up. Foster is injury prone an a FA...Davis is almost cooked and they will not feature Nick Goings.

I'd settle for a quarter.

You're probably right, but White is more likely than James. I think White has a shot to be here if Andy takes care of both lines if free agency.

There is about a 0.0000000000001% chance that the Eagles even consider getting him, but damn... it would be so farging cool if they did. Then again... I wonder if he'd even be any good behind whatever line they throw out there.
I heard the interview with Polian on the NFL Channel earlier. Said he hasn't talked to Rosenscum nor does he have any plan to Tag him. Basically insinuated he thinks the money it would take to re-sign Edge could be used more wisely elsewhere.
He would be a good fit in Dallas. Lot's of bling and flash for the shteinhead's in Cowpuke land.
Right. Because Marion Barber III and Julius Jones are an awful 1-2 punch.
No...because yo momma said so.
