Don't worry Indy fans, I feel dirty too. The Brady-Manning rivalry is still quite relevant, and I could see a lot of Colt's fans upset to see their villain under center. There is also a section of fans that don't think Jacoby Brissett is the long-term solution after Andrew Luck's surprise retirement. While Brissett led the Colts to a 5-2 record half-way through the season, the Colts never seemed to be as competitive after Brissett's injury. The Colts' brass believed in him enough that they gave him a raise going into the season and may have seen enough potential in his two seasons as a starter.

If a living legend like Tom Brady decides to take a meeting with Indianapolis, they may have to reconsider. The owner, Jim Irsay, would relish in gassing up the bad blood between the rival teams, even if it seems awkward to bring in the guy that they accused of deflating footballs. For Brady, this is his chance to collect a nice paycheck, as Indy has tons of cap space. This is a team built to win, with a solid offensive line, Marlon Mack-led rushing attack, and a competitive defense. T.Y. Hilton should be healthier next season and the team should go into the draft looking for more weapons at wide receiver.
