Irsay Asked Broncos' Manning to Retire as a Colt: Report

(Reuters) - Peyton Manning has not said whether Super Bowl 50 will be the final game of his illustrious career but the owner of his former team has asked him to walk away from the game as an Indianapolis Colt, according to a report on Thursday.

The NFL's website, citing a recent interview between Colts owner Jim Irsay and an Indianapolis TV station, said Irsay would like the best player in his franchise's history to eventually sign a one-day contract and end his career in blue and white.

"I want him to and I've asked him to," Irsay told WISH-TV.
