Colts sign Collins as backup to Manning
Indianapolis agrees to a one year deal with Kerry Collins as veteran quarterback depth. If Peyton Manning is slow to recover from neck surgery Collins could start or back him up, with Collins noting his aim to help a team he respects and regards as storied. Reggie Wayne questioned the move while Jim Caldwell praised Collins as a seasoned passer adding depth to the squad. Manning's streak faces jeopardy after neck nerve repair last May.
