"Now, more than ever, the illusions of division threaten our very existence. We all know the truth: more connects us than separates us. But in times of crisis the wise build bridges, while the foolish build barriers. We must find a way to look after one another as if we were one single tribe.” -King T'Challa, Black Panther

Don't kid yourself that it's not about the money. He refused to restructure his contract in any way, shape, or form so that the Colts wouldn't have to spend $28M on a QB who might end up on the bench before retiring for good.
I especially liked the interview with his older brother where he said he's seen Peyton throwing and he's "almost" back to his old throwing style. Almost? How long's it been since his surgery? Yikes! No wonder the Colts didn't want to chance the dough, I wouldn't either. If Manning really wanted to remain a Colt, he'd have re-done his deal. Sucks, yes - he has been one of the best and might still be able to play very well. But...this injury was huge and he's no spring chicken.
Edit to add: I'm bettin' on Minnesota picking him up. I'll have to check with my inside source on that though.

Dang, your source is better than my source!
