After he was unceremoniously “let go” from the Philadelphia Eagles to make room for Michael Vick, receiver Hank Baskett has been picked up by the Indianapolis Colts! Baskett’s agent, Jim Ivler, confirmed that Hank chose to go to Indianapolis and has signed on for a one year contract.

“We got to pick and choose from among several teams,” says Ivler. “It’s not bad to be catching passes from Peyton Manning. Peyton had asked for Hank and wanted him to be there.”

Now that Baskett and his wife Kendra Wilkinson are moving halfway across the country, Indianapolis wants them to know that they are more than welcome.

“They’re gonna fit in, and I think they’re gonna love it,” Chris Gahl, Associate Director of Communication for the Indianapolis Convention & Visitors Association, tells PEOPLE. “They’re gonna feel very embraced.”

“We have a fun side as well,” insists Gahl. “Were not just cornfields in the middle of nowhere. We’re a thriving metropolis in an urban landscape that has clubs that stay open late and celebrities who come to town.”

I have a feeling that Baskett, Wilkinson and their soon to be son (due Christmas) are going to be fitting in quite well in Indianapolis. How nice of that was it of the town to officially welcome them?
