Colts coach Chuck Pagano expects RE Dwight Freeney to remain with the club in 2012 and beyond. After locking up 31-year-old Robert Mathis long term on Monday, the Colts do seem more interested in being competitive right away than undertaking a full-on rebuild. Freeney's salary is a cumbersome $14.035 million and he turned 32 last month. "Those guys are Colts, through and through," Pagano said. "And we fully expect to have them here as long as we can."
