Colts owner Jim Irsay had previously stated that Peyton Manning's future with the franchise has more to do with the four-time MVP's health and less to do with money.
Specifically, Manning is due a $28 million roster bonus on March 8th, which is five days before the new league year (and free agency) starts.
Irsay tweeted on Saturday (via Pro Football Talk): "Not sure why some speculate that Peyton n I haven’t met in person recently..we’ve met in person n communicated frequently n last week or so."
As PFT notes, for someone that wants to keep things in house, Irsay is communicating about it in public quite a bit.
With it being a virtual lock that the Colts draft Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck with the first overall pick, I can't imagine Manning being on the roster on March 9th.
With that said, will Manning play football in 2012 and, if so, for whom?
