The Colts are going to cut Peyton Manning.

~ That's why they fired the VP and GM. ~ Peyton is 36 years old. ~ Severely injured neck. May never play again. ~ $28 million signing bonus coming up. No way they do that. ~ The #1 pick and Andrew Luck in their pocket. ~ A 2 win team that is old and needs to be rebuilt. They had their run and now it's time to start over. Luck will start his first year on a rebuilding team.

He really 36? Damn

If he plays again it's going to be weird seeing him in another uniform. I read the jets might be interested but ryan denied it

Expect a trade. I could see Skins trading a lot for him

Maybe a trade. I don't expect it to be a lot. He's an age and injury concern at this point.

Meh. The fired the GM because he has failed at his job
The Owner has already said that if Peyton is healthy he will be a Colt.

I do think they are gonna trade the number 1 pick though

A $28 million signing bonus is pretty big for a guy you don't know if he will ever play again. I don't think they do that.

They will know if he can play by the time they have to make that decision

Thread title is misleading.
You THINK the Colts are going to cut Peyton Manning.

As valrod said, Irsay has already said he will bring Manning back if he's healthy. I think he's going to try to have both and I hope that doesn't happen, because it would be a shame to see Luck wasted on the bench for years. This isn't a Rodgers situation. By all accounts, Luck is ready now.

The Patriots will trade for him and have the greatest QB tag team in years.

I just don't see Luck and Manning coexisting together.

that 28 Mil check they have to write to Manning will be the deciding factor. They are not paying a rookie QB #1 pick money if they have Manning.

#2 Thread Title IS MISLEADING
