The Big Rumor: If The Colts Take Luck, Then Manning Could Be...

[Dirtbag59]

Manning is more of the same. I don't see how acquiring him will pay off in the long run. Sure it could work but this is a guy that may never take another snap ever again.

Even his own father said he didn't know if Peyton would play this upcoming year or not. That tells you that it's a lot more serious than what people realize.

Chris Mortanson(sp) just went over that on ESPN's NFL 32,and what he says is Peyton still could'nt play now,....not ever again.

I didn't say either or. Said his father didn't even know if he was going to be able to play this year or not.

So why not retire and save the Colts the anguish of having to release him. How much of that contract has already been paid to him?

I am not asking so we can sweep in and sign him, but just as a what should they do? Can they restructure it to not pay him much next season but have incentives if he plays in 2012 or for that would it take a release and resign type of deal? But if you are the Colts how do you keep a QB that is that old when you presumably have the next great QB starting for you?
