  Because of human nature,  the Chuck Pagano ' lame duck'  status situation had to be a distraction at times for Colts players.

 

  One related thought in terms of what was mentioned in the thread.   In terms of Agents and Free Agent players knowing that the one year extension doesn't really change the reality of the situation,   I compare the new landscape (  that includes the one year extension )  with psychological pricing marketing.    A product that is priced at $ 11.99 looks noticeably cheaper than a product priced at $ 12.    A one year contract extension,  even though it's mainly symbolic,  creates a different perception than the pure lame duck landscape that existed before today's news.
