With Super Bowl XLVI being played in Indianapolis this year and the big game being just days away, there has been obviously a lot of talk about the New England Patriots and the New York Giants, but there has also been a lot of discussion about the Indianapolis Colts as well.

There is no question that the Indianapolis Colts could very well be at the beginning of an extensive rebuilding process after the worst season in franchise history (2-14). With the number one overall pick in the 2012 NFL draft, the Colts will select Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck and look to make him the future face of the franchise. Obviously, that means four-time NFL MVP quarterback Peyton Manning could take a backseat sooner rather than later or be out of Indianapolis altogether before the beginning of next season.

Now that Peyton Manning’s future is very much up in the air right now and could be decided within the next few weeks, the question about the team’s best wide receiver Reggie Wayne has been raised. With Wayne’s contract expiring, the team must make another tough decision over one of their best players and despite the unappealing aspect of rebuilding after being one of the league’s elite teams for so long, Wayne seems open to returning to the Colts.

The news for Reggie Wayne being open to re-signing with the Indianapolis Colts has to get rookie quarterback Andrew Luck excited as it would give him a Pro Bowl caliber wideout along with one of the best tight ends in the game with Dallas Clark at his disposal. There is no question that Wayne hopes Manning will get back healthy for at least another year or two in Indianapolis, but having Luck under center won’t be bad either for the veteran wide receiver.
