Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning (18) runs from the field against the Kansas City Chiefs at a time out during the second quarter of their NFL football game in Indianapolis October 10, 2010. REUTERS/Brent Smith (UNITED STATES – Tags: SPORT FOOTBALL) Based on some of the comments coming out of Indianapolis these days, it would appear as though Peyton Manning’s career with the Colts is coming to an end. Such as life. Times change, people separate, memories fade. Why should sports be any different? According to ESPN NFL Business Analyst Andrew Brandt, it would cost the Colts $50.5 million to keep Manning and Andrew Luck on the same roster in 2012. Manning’s option is $28 million in addition to a $7.4 million salary while the No. 1 overall pick will receive approximately $15.1 million in bonus plus salary in 2012.

Colts Authority reader matt_has wrote a piece that offers a different perspective regarding Peyton Manning's future with the Colts.

With that expectation in mind, this is primarily a therapeutic release for...

Peyton Manning Should Listen To Rob Lowe & Retire, Its Time

Rob Lowe could have jumped the gun when he said Peyton Manning is going to retire in the off-season. I think it is time for the warhorse who has had a great career to hang up his cleats and go out while he is still able to function. Manning and Jim Irsay are even at odds. I know they will tell you they are on the same page, truth be told Manning is clearly upset with the changes...
