The Facts:
Colts GM Ryan Grigson, who has had the job for roughly a month, faces two key decisions: (1) what to do with Manning; and (2) what to do with the first pick in the draft. As to the former, Grigson said the question of whether Manning will remain with the team won’t be resolved until March 8, the date on which a $28 million option bonus comes due. “Exactly, March 8,” Grigson said. “It’s an on-going process."

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
Grigson said he hasn’t seen Manning throw. New HC Chuck Pagano said the same thing, and Pagano made it clear that the communications between the Colts and Manning are being handled by owner Jim Irsay. Grigson also said the Colts didn’t ask Andrew Luck not to throw at the Scouting Combine, contrary to a recent report from Bob Kravitz of the Indianapolis Star. And even though the Colts can begin negotiating a contract with Luck as of Friday, Grigson said that won’t be happening soon. ... Hard to believe him on either count. But he spoke. So it's news. Now it's on the record so when it becomes readily apparent that that team had already made decisions on Manning and Luck (or not) at this point, we'll know exactly what kind of liar Grigson is (or isn't). ... Stay tuned.
