During this period he gained more than 1,000 yards of space by passing catches and set team records for receivers (yards from passing catches, pass catches and touchdowns) and together with Manning (most touchdown passes between a quarterback and a wide receiver).

In the 2007 season he was only able to play five games and in 2008 he was replaced by Reggie Wayne as Manning's most important show station. Although he played 15 games, he was only able to gain a little more than 600 yards of space. After the season, he was released by the Colts at his own request.

In 2011 he was inducted into the Indianapolis Colts Ring of Honor at a game between the Colts and the Carolina Panthers .

In 2016 he was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame on the third attempt .
