    Add Reggie Wayne to list of holdouts

    Wayne will skip Colts' mandatory minicamp, wants new contract

    By Jason La Canfora | NFL Network

    Four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver Reggie Wayne will not participate in the Indianapolis Colts' mandatory three-day minicamp this weekend as he seeks a new contract, a source with knowledge of the situation said Thursday.

    Wayne, who later confirmed his intentions in an e-mail to ESPN, also has missed organized team activities this offseason, but that isn't unusual.

    Wayne has two years remaining on his deal, and he's due to earn under $6 million each season. The Colts are trying to get a new deal done for quarterback Peyton Manning, then turn their attention to potential extensions for Wayne and defensive end Robert Mathis, who also has skipped OTAs.

    Wayne has talked to coaches about his decision not to attend minicamp, including a conversation with coach Jim Caldwell, according to the source. Wayne has a strong connection with Manning, is well versed in the Colts' offense and always has reported in great shape, which doesn't make his absence a huge factor, although the minicamp is considered mandatory.

    These players and their agents must sense a lock out comming next season and are looking to cash in while they still can.

    Reggie Wayne better think about Peyton Manning getting a new contract which expires at the end of this season. Reggie Wayne will not be catching 100 balls per season if they are being thrown by a backup QB.
