"At some point in the next several months, the Indianapolis Colts are expected to make quarterback Peyton Manning the top-paid player in NFL history. Archie Manning can relate. To the designation, not the financial considerations. In 1981, the New Orleans Saints signed Manning, the face of the hapless franchise and the No. 2 overall pick in the '71 draft, to a five-year, $3 million contract. "For about three years, I was the highest-paid player in the league," Manning said. "It was $600,000 a year." My, how times have changed. Colts owner Jim Irsay is committed to retaining Peyton Manning, the league's only four-time MVP. His current contract -- a six-year, $98 million deal signed in 2004."
