Edgerrin James Returned to the Indianapolis Colts
Edgerrin James returned to the Indianapolis Colts fans for one day.
Edgerrin James will be playing for the Arizona Cardinals once the brand new 2006-2007 NFL Football Season starts.
The visit was for the Indiana Black Expo and his fans, not the Colts. The team's all-time leading rusher, who signed as a free agent with Arizona on March 12, has moved on in mind, body and free spirit.
The carefree Floridian is looking so far into the future, he's already contemplating a probable induction into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
''When I get to the NFL Football Hall of Fame, I'm going to have to pick between a jersey for Arizona or the Colts,'' James said in a telephone interview.
''Edge'' was in Indy to help longtime friend Amp Harris with the ninth annual ''Saving Our Youth'' celebrity basketball game at the RCA Dome. Several Colts, including Dwight Freeney, Reggie Wayne and Bob Sanders, were there. So, too, was Indiana Pacers star Jermaine O'Neal.
''Me and my boy Amp want to do it,'' James said. ''We enjoy the Black Expo and I'm always going to come back for it.''
His many friends will bemoan the fact he is no longer a Colt. James ran for 9,226 yards in seven seasons as a vital cog in the team's vaunted ''Triplets'' attack with quarterback Peyton Manning and receiver Marvin Harrison.
He was selected fourth overall by the Colts in 1999, James led the NFL in rushing each of his first two years, and last season was his fourth Pro Bowl selection.
But it wasn't enough to earn a multi-year contract with the Colts, who in recent years gave such rewards to Manning, Harrison, Wayne and tackle Ryan Diem. So James signed with Arizona for four years and $30 million with $11.5 million in first-season bonuses.
