Colts To Contact Peyton Manning About GM Job?
ProFootballRumors.com • • sports
Key Points:
- The Indianapolis Colts fired longtime general manager Chris Ballard, opening the search for a new football operations leader for the first time since 2017.
- Reports suggest the Colts may consider Hall of Fame quarterback Peyton Manning, a former Colt from 1998-2011, for the GM role or an organizational position, though no official contact has been made.
- Dan Patrick indicated the Colts might seek Manning's input on potential candidates and gauge his interest in the GM position, possibly even discussing an ownership stake.
- Colts owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon had not contacted Manning as of Tuesday afternoon, but the idea remains plausible given Manning's legacy with the team, including two AFC titles and a Super Bowl appearance.
- Manning could follow a career path similar to John Elway, who transitioned from Hall of Fame quarterback to Denver Broncos GM, but currently, Manning appears focused on his media company, Omaha Productions.
