Both men paused frequently, fighting tears and their voices shaking, when they appeared together at a news conference at the Colts’ team complex.
“This has not been easy for Jim,’’ Manning said, “and this has certainly not been easy for me.’’
The 35-year-old Manning will become a free agent, and there is expected be interest from half a dozen or so NFL clubs, provided he’s healthy. Manning is coming off a series of operations on his neck and missed all of last season.
Indianapolis needed to cut him this week to avoid paying him a $28 million bonus. The Colts are widely expected to begin moving on by taking Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck with the No. 1 overall pick in April’s draft. AP
