Peyton Manning Cleared to Play: What's Next for Indianapolis Colts?

According to ESPN, Indianapolis Colts quarterback Peyton Manning has been cleared by doctors to resume his NFL career. With that being known, the Colts now have a big decision coming up. Do you cut Manning and save $28 million, or do keep him and extend his contract?

The Colts have the No. 1 draft pick in April's draft, and they've made it clear they will draft a quarterback with that pick. Most likely, Andrew Luck will be the choice for Indy.

With many changes already made within the Colts organization, do they move forward without Manning, Reggie Wayne, Jeff Saturday, Pierre Garcon and others, or do they go for one more run at a Super Bowl?

The Colts can certainly afford both Manning and Luck. If Manning can get his form and arm strength back, I don't think you cut him. He's just too valuable, and he's the best to ever play the game.

Manning and Colts owner Jim Irsay are set to meet next week to talk and hopefully decide what the next step will be. Many think with the changes made already, Manning will be gone, but if you remember, new offensive coordinator Bruce Arians was Manning's first quarterbacks coach, and the Colts retained former offensive coordinator Clyde Christensen.

Manning's main target in Wayne has a history with new head coach Chuck Pagano and would be open to playing for him.

There are many unanswered questions still left, but they're now getting clearer as Manning is cleared.
