Sources: Peyton Manning not expected to be candidate for Colts GM job

Peyton Manning is not expected to pursue or be considered for the Indianapolis Colts' vacant general manager position, according to league sources. The Colts have not approached their former Hall of Fame quarterback regarding the job, nor is Manning believed to be interested in the role given his current family commitments and responsibilities with Omaha Productions and the "ManningCast."

The opening arose after Indianapolis owner Carlie Irsay-Gordon dismissed general manager Chris Ballard following nine-plus seasons and a 2-4 start to the current campaign. While sources noted Manning remains open to considering future NFL opportunities, any potential role would more likely resemble an ownership or executive leadership position rather than the day-to-day duties of a general manager.
