The Colts have not approached their former quarterback about the vacancy, which opened six days ago.
The Colts GM job has been open for six days, and Peyton Manning's name came up almost immediately as a possible candidate. According to sources, that speculation does not match reality.
The Colts have not approached Manning about the position, and he is not expected to be interested in taking it even if they did. That leaves the team searching for its next general manager without its most famous former player in the mix.
Manning spent his career in Indianapolis as the face of the franchise, but running the front office is evidently not on his list of post-playing ambitions, at least not with the Colts right now. The search for a new GM continues.
