The starting running back of the Indianapolis Colts reported to training camp yesterday at Rose-Hulman College. There had been weeks of speculation whether Edgerrin James would arrive on time, because he has appeared to be unsatisfied that the Colts have not offered him a long term contract.

It is good that the Colts have James in camp. Whether they sign him to a new deal after the season is anybody's guess. Yet Edgerrin plays for the most prolific offense in the NFL, and has to remember that the system in Indianapolis is perfect for his running style, and going to another team might be bad for his career.

Five more productive years in Indianapolis, will definitely put him in a position to be a second, if not a first ballot Hall of Famer. I am sure that Edgerrin James has weighed this, however who knows how much of his heart is still committed to the Colts.
