INDIANAPOLIS — There is a chance Peyton Manning leaves the Indianapolis Colts for free agency.
There is a slim chance the Colts keep Manning and draft Andrew Luck with the No. 1 draft pick. And there is the growing sentiment here during Super Bowl week that Manning may never play again, period.
“I don’t think he’ll ever play again,” said Gil Brandt, the longtime Dallas Cowboys’ scout who now works for the NFL. “It’s a shame. I don’t think he’ll pass the physical.”
This is something few have considered — even if Manning wants to play despite his damaged neck, what doctor would risk his practice by clearing him to play?
“I hope he comes back,” Brandt said.
