At the end of the 2005 season Edgerrin James had accumulated 9,226 yards rushing in 96 games for an average of 97.0 yards per game. He had 64 rushing TDs, 11 Receiving TDs, 356 catches and 2839 receiving yards. His average yards per rush was 4.2. He had went to 4 pro bowls, and won the offensive rookie of the year award in 1999.

Edge was tagged with the Franchise Tag in 2004 and 2005. After the 2005 season he left for free agency and went to Arizona. The next season the Colts won the super bowl with Rookie Joseph Addai and Jame's longtime backup, Dominic Rhodes.

In 2006 and 2007 Edge has gained 2,381 rushing yards in 32 games for an average of 74.4 yards per game. He had 13 rushing TDs, 0 receiving TDs, 62 receptions and 421 receiving yards. His average yards per rush was 3.6.

An obvious drop off from his years with the Colts.

Did Edgerrin James throw away a Hall Of Fame career to chase Free Agent Money? Would the Colts have won Super Bowl XLI with Edge as their running back?



Long as I remember The rain been coming down.
Clouds of Mystery pouring Confusion on the ground.
Good men through the ages, Trying to find the sun;
And I wonder, Still I wonder, Who'll stop the rain.
