The ultimate insult
Former Pro Bowl running back Edgerrin James has had the roughest year of his career. He didn't get the big contract he wanted in Indianapolis, and he signed a four-year, $30 million contract with the Arizona Cardinals.
But he has averaged a career-low 3.1 yards per carry, and he has yet to top 100 rushing yards in a single game.
The low point came Sunday. James carried the ball four times for 15 yards, the same amount as Vikings quarterback Brad Johnson. Meanwhile, in Indianapolis, rookie Joseph Addai got 24 carries for 171 yards and four touchdowns for the Colts.
James would never admit it, but he was wrong. He needed the Colts more than the Colts needed him.
But his consolation isn't too bad: He got $11.5 million in guarantees from the Cardinals.
