08:01 AM ET 01.25 | Peyton Manning, in his own words, "never thought 'Sodapop Curtis' would announce my retirement," and, in a wide-ranging interview, had a great deal to say. The question was posed: Given all the changes, the fact the Colts appear to be in a rebuilding mode, does Manning even want to come back to Indianapolis? "I don't want to get into some kind of fan campaign with the owner, but I think it's well documented that I want to play in the same place my whole career," Manning said. ... "But I understand how it works." ... "I'm not into saying goodbye. All I know is I'm still under contract to the Colts. I'm still the quarterback of the Colts. That's why I'm in the building every day trying to get healthy."

He might renegotiate that. I think he already has enough to live comfortably on, and he can go a lot of different ways post-career.

He still is not recovered enough yet to throw to real receivers and move around. His muscles have atrophied since he can nor fully work out. It will take at least a year for him to get back into shape again prior to playing, or he will risk another major injury. I just don't see any upside with him other than being a mentor to Luck for next year. Not to say he can't rehab his way back for 2013.

Releasing him, taking the hit this year, and moving on is the only viable option for the Colts.
Timing says it will happen that way.

It's over in Indy, he just wants the payday, and who can fault him for that ... he needs a new neck because of football, so pay the man Mr. Jim Irsay, just pay him.

The Colts need to draft Luck and start him right away...Peyton has been great for Indy but most of the great ones end up somewhere else at the end of their careers...Montana, Unitas, even Favre...Indy needs to rebuild and Manning deserves another shot at a Super Bowl...that shot will only come with another team
