Report: Peyton Manning connected to Colts GM opening

After moving on from Chris Ballard, the Indianapolis Colts' first call was reportedly to Peyton Manning.

The Indianapolis Colts reportedly reached out to Peyton Manning first, inquiring about potential General Manager candidates and gauging his interest in the role, according to Dan Patrick. The Colts' initial contact with Manning serves a dual purpose - obtaining names and suggestions for GM candidates, as well as exploring Manning's potential interest in the position, which would come with ownership interest in the team.

Manning, who has not held a front office role since retiring, would return to Indianapolis in this scenario as a GM and part owner, with the opportunity to select the team's next quarterback. The community, the league, and even Manning himself would have varying opinions on the matter, according to Patrick.
