New Peyton Manning Rumors on Colts GM Job and 'Any NFL Opportunities' After Chris Ballard's Firing

NFL legend Peyton Manning wears a lot of hats these days. General manager of the Indianapolis Colts won't be one of them.

ESPN's Adam Schefter reported Sunday the Colts "have not approached Manning about their vacant GM job, nor would the Hall of Fame quarterback be expected to be interested in the position."

According to Schefter, Manning isn't prepared to assume the kind of time requirement being an NFL GM would demand. He's not closing the door altogether on working inside the league, though:

"Manning would be willing to listen and consider any NFL opportunities at any time, but the Colts have not discussed any of those possibilities with him, according to sources. It's possible that some could come in the future, sources said, but those discussions likely would involve higher-profile positions similar to the ones that other former NFL quarterbacks have accepted with other franchises."
