After reading an interview with Peyton Manning, it's sad to see it coming down to this. The coaching staff has been fired, as well as the front office. Manning said he just met Ryan Grigson, the new general manager. Grigson said the final decision on Manning will be made by Colts owner Jim Irsway.
Manning is due a $28 million roster bonus in March. He is still unable to throw the football after neck surgery which sidelined him for the season.
What do you do with a franchise player who gave his heart, body and soul to the team and the community? Manning is not just any player. He has been the face of the franchise since he came on board in 1998. He is everything you could ask for in a player.
The final decision will not be easy because it will not only effect an icon, but it will have a profound impact on the team's salary cap. In the end, I think Manning will either get released or retire. It would be foolish, from a business point, to commit that much money to a player with such a precarious medical history.
