Please, don't say I'm tweeting this to get attention. I'm 40. I don't need attention.

Any deal with Manning would instantly elevate the value of the Colts franchise. It's a huge money deal. Thus, the weeks of review.

I was also told that when Manning deal happens, he'd want to work with a strong GM. Ballard was hired for that role.

If the Manning deal never happens, it means that someone balked. I trust the source. They aren't inventing this and neither am I.

Please know I've sat on this for a while, looking for more answers. It's obviously a massive story. But, when it breaks, it won't be by me.

I know @jimosborne45 has discussed this deal with Manning on Twitter. I'm inclined to agree with much of what he's said on the subject.

I asked source for a deadline on Manning deal. "Before the 2017 NFL Draft" was the answer.

Since the deal involves minority ownership, it would require league (owners) approval. It has not gone through that approval as yet.

Since the deal in principle was agreed to, lawyers from Manning and Irsay families have reviewed the agreement. Cooper Manning is involved.

For 6 weeks, I've tried confirming the news with second source. No confirm. However, the details from the original source seem solid.

I received this news right around the time that Ryan Grigson was fired. The two events (Manning and Grigson) were related, the source said.

Hope he is right, but gotta take Brad Wells with a grain of salt ... :cool:

Has he ever been the first to break a story before? From what I see, he just re-hashes other writers stories.

If this is true, Jim could be setting himself up for retirement with Peyton as team president and a guiding hand for the daughters when they take over. IF this is true...and I doubt it is.

I'm pretty sure he broke the PM neck issue in 2010 and that PM would require more surgery...then 2011 happened.

I believe there's a "source" telling him this. Whether or not the "source" is reliable (or correct in this case) is a different consideration.
