The Facts:
James signed a one-year franchise offer Wednesday that will pay him a little more than $8 million this year. But that won't slow his efforts to get a long-term deal or seek a trade. "We think by making the move, it will help facilitate either a long-term deal or enhance our chances of working out a trade," said Drew Rosenhaus, James' agent. "We've always stated we are not interested in playing out a one-year deal."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
This is good news for the Colts because it gives them the confidence that James will be with the team this year unless they get the right trade offer. Meanwhile, the trade market for veteran halfbacks has been limited so far this offseaso. The Bucs, Cardinals and Dolphins are the three main teams looking to find a new featured back, but none seem to be beating a path to James' doorstep.
