An injured Peyton Manning had been resisting Indianapolis Colts owner Jim Irsay's attempts to make him the highest-paid player in the NFL.

Manning got his wish.

He re-signed with the Colts on Saturday, inking a five-year deal for $90 million, or $18 million a year -- equal to what New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady is making.

Irsay said he was "thrilled" to sign the only four-time MVP in league history to a deal that will likely keep him in Indianapolis for the rest of his career. Irsay confirmed the figures on his twitter account, writing that Manning will earn $69 million of his deal in the first three years.

"Signing Peyton was a top priority for this organization and we are thrilled that the deal is complete," Irsay said in a statement released by the team Saturday. "We feel that it is a salary cap friendly deal and it allows us more flexibility."

Manning reported to training camp on time Sunday at Anderson University in Indianapolis along with his teammates. Players aren't scheduled to practice at the Division III school, about 40 miles northeast of Indy, until Monday.

Manning declined to comment about the deal Sunday morning but was scheduled to speak at a 2 p.m. news conference that will also include Irsay and team vice chairman Bill Polian.

Manning did sign autographs for a handful of fans and waved to fans and reporters as he took in his luggage. Indy's franchise quarterback will be placed on the physically unable to perform list as he continues to rehab from neck surgery in May. Because it is the preseason, he could be removed from the list at any time and return to practice.

His deal comes nearly five months after the team used the exclusive franchise tag to prevent Manning from negotiating with any other teams. Had Manning signed the one-year offer, he would have made $23.1 million this season. Irsay wrote on Twitter that Manning's deal will reduce his salary cap number this season to $16 million.

A Colts source said Manning had told Irsay a five-year, $100 million proposal that was heavily back-loaded in the final two years was not necessary to give him a $20 million average that no NFL player has ever attained.

Manning met with Irsay and Polian on Thursday to communicate his feelings on the new contract and encouraged them to spend money saved on his potential deal to re-sign Colts free agents while building the team's talent level and depth chart.
