Ditto, but if he was smart he would see if he could stay on as a assistant QB coach. He'd still get paid (probably a lot less though) and still be able to help whoever is at QB. His mind set should be looking into coaching. Heck maybe one day he might make a good HC.

probably a lot less though? doesnt he make 17+ million a year. Good QB coaches make no more than 750k a year.

If he sits this whole year, he will be 36 entering next season.

If he played some games this year, would that prevent him from turning 36?

LOL. Great response

if he retires/can't play does Indy go after any of the guarantee?

He's not Haynesworthless. He would give it back or give it to charity or something...

Well there could be a possible conflict of opinion between a team and the player in this situation. A remote possibility though, but I guess it depends on whether the Colts feel that Manning withheld any information regarding his condition while they were negotiating his big contract extension.

Yeah, right. The Manning family isn't known for philantrophy are they?

Not sure why Peyton's contract is even being brought up. It's really simple. If he retires, he doesn't get paid. (Including guarantees) The guarantees are there if he does play and the team cuts him. That part he'll get to keep.

But because he's injured, he's entitled to the entire guarantee unless the Colts can prove he retires healthy.

So the Colts can go after the bonus money, but it will just make the situation really ugly.

I just had to. lol.

lol

People sure are quick to kick someone to the curb eh?

I think he's still got plenty of football left assuming he get over this injury. He's good for the game, I hope he keeps playing.

There is no way in hell this ends Peyton's career. This guy is still a top 5 QB when he returns this year period
