He was hardly 'tossed aside' in Indy. He and his agent demanded that his lump sum $36 million payment be made without any demonstration of his capabilities after a potentially career ending surgery. No deal restructuring, no workouts, no examination by team doctors, nothing but blind faith. They knew what they were doing and basically forced the Colts into letting him go. That way he got to maintain his good guy image and go to a team willing to spend big bucks right now on a short term super bowl run. Worked out pretty well for him too.
