Report: Colts will cut Peyton Manning

Found January 28, 2012 on IMAGE CPR: Yardbarker Blogger Network
PLAYERS: Peyton Manning,  Jason La Canfora
TEAMS: Indianapolis Colts

The NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora is reporting that the Indianapolis Colts will cut injured quarterback Peyton Manning sometime before the NFL Scouting Combine Feb. 22. Meantime, Colts owner Jim Irsay refuses to endorse Manning for next season.

“According to sources who were involved in the Colts’ GM search, the organization was planning to move on from Manning weeks ago, well before this public squabble between the quarterback and his owner,” La Canfora said. “So Friday’s joint statement won’t be changing a thing.”

Irsay responded on Twitter late Saturday night:

  • What a shame Mr. Irsay is doing in Indy. Peyton Manning still has many years to contribute to the orginization and bam off with his head. I love the Colts but I hope Mr. Irsay's plan blows up in his face

  • Hate to disagree, but Peyton doesn't have many years to contribute. I don't think he can contribute to any team even one more year. The smart thing for him to do is to retire gracefully or gracefully agree to take a backup role with a team which would not only lengthen his playing days, but his life as well.

  • I say the "Sleeper" here to land Manning are the Cowboys. I could see Manning playing in Dallas and I'm sure Jerry Jones would pay him well. I say, ..

Sibling Rivalry: 10 Reasons Eli is Better than Peyton

Via The Penalty Flag  |  January 27, 2012
Whether he plays another down in the NFL or not, Peyton Manning of the Indianapolis Colts is without a doubt a first ballot Hall of Famer.  His impressive 399 touchdowns, 54,828 passing yards, four league MVP’s and 94.9 career passer rating makes him a shoe in.  Given those stats it would be absurd to come out and say that the younger of the Manning brothers, Eli, is better...

Rob Lowe could have jumped the gun when he said Peyton Manning is going to retire in the off-season.
