The status of Peyton Manning will be the main story during the off-season. It continues to get a great deal of coverage on the NFL Network. The latest story paints a gloomy picture.
Manning allegedly has trouble throwing the ball to the left or down field with any great velocity. There is talk about nerves needing to regenerate. The time frame can be long and drawn out. Nobody can put an exact time on it.
In spite of the uncertainty, teams are willing to take a risk if Manning gets released by the Colts. He is willing to sign a contract heavy with incentives, but wants to go to a contender.
I think some team will sign him, but he will not start the season. I think he will end up on the PUP list. At some point in the 2012, they will need to put him on IR if they can't activate him.
My gut feeling is that he will never play again. That will be disappointing because I have always been a fan of his.
