I agree that the Colts haven't asked players to take pay cuts as often as Belicheat has used that maneuver in New England.
However, the Colts have made that type of request a few times over the years.
For instance, the Colts asked Marvin Harrison to take a pay cut after he put up two unproductive seasons (one of them injury-shortened) at the end of his career.
Polian didn't want a huge cap hit for an unproductive WR and wanted to renegotiate the deal.
Marvin wasn't interested in a pay cut, however.
So, in the end, the Colts released Harrison instead.
