Colts: Team won't pressure Glenn

The Colts won't pressure tackle Tarik Glenn to return, but they have asked him to make a final decision on his retirement before training camp opens. "I've told him when he's ready, obviously sometime before Saturday, let us know and we'll talk it through," team president Bill Polian told the Indianapolis Star. "Obviously he's been a great player here and we looked forward to having him as long as we could. But he's got to do what's right for him." Should Glenn walk away after 10 years in the league, he would leave a $4.5 million base salary on the table. The Colts drafted Tony Ugoh in the second round in preparation for Glenn's potential departure, as he would become an unrestricted free agent following the 2007 season. However, it's more likely second-year tackle Charles Johnson would step in on the left side if Glenn does in fact hang up his cleats.
