Colts, Nicks reach a one-year deal

Former Giants receiver Hakeem Nicks signed a one-year deal with the Indianapolis Colts

Nicks, who signed a one-year deal with Indianapolis on Friday, said Saturday that he declined multi-year offers and an unspecified offer from his hometown team, the Carolina Panthers, before agreeing to terms with the Colts. The decision, Nicks said, wasn't difficult.

"I was (looking for a multi-year contract), but I didn't really like none of those situations," Nicks said. "I didn't want to get myself in a long-term situation that I didn't like. This was the best situation for me. A great organization, a chance to come in and show them what I can do (and) what I can bring to the table."

"I feel like I made the best decision," he said, "and I'm ready to take advantage of it."
