By Evan Reller
The Indianapolis Colts announced today that they wouldn’t re-sign Reggie Wayne. It was a disappointing statement but not all that surprising.
Members of the media, players, and fans took to twitter to offer their memories and well wishes to the great wide receiver.

Day Edgerrin left Colts in '05, he told Wayne "I hope you're the one who stays here forever." We'll see. No guarantee he's done playing.

Salute to one of the all-time greatest Colts ever - Reggie Wayne! Learned so much from him on the field, in practice, and in the lockerroom.

Reggie Wayne is the type of player every guy in the locker room can learn from. A pros pro, a champ & a future HOFer. #Salute2Greatness #87

Reggie said recently he didn't plan on playing anywhere but Indy, so we should presume he is retired. I think.

Even when you know the end could happen, it's still sad when it does. Nobody has been more fun to cover than #Colts WR Reggie Wayne.
