The Facts:
With the Indianapolis Colts in the midst of a franchise makeover of biblical proportions, it was surprising to learn veteran wideout Wayne
had agreed to return to the team. In a journal entry on his website, Wayne wrote his decision came down to "four teams at first. Then three and then two. And you Colts fans don't wanna know who other team was. I'll let you figure that one out. Ha!" That mystery team? You guessed it ... the New England Patriots.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
That according to The Boston Globe, which cited a league source in confirming the Pats were in on Wayne until the end. ... It's unknown if the Pats were in the same ballpark financially (Wayne got $17.5 million over three years, $7.5 million guaranteed from the Colts), or if Wayne simply favored the comfort of staying with the team that drafted him in the first round of the 2001 draft.
