Peyton Manning Alert

This is a little old as far as news goes, but Colts' LT Tarik Glenn says he's had enough - his heart is no longer in football.

In watching NFL Live yesterday, I learned that Glenn is the only LT Peyton has ever had in the NFL. That Peyton was sacked just 15 times all of last year. That the Colt's OL is run by Manning at the line of scrimmage. That Glenn is serious and asking how much of a signing bonus he has to repay. And finally, that Manning is trying to talk Glenn into finishing his contract.

The Colts moved up in the draft to take OT Tony Ugoh this year, but the hope was to have him ready for next year. Moving a rookie to the line and counting on him knowing what the heck Peyton is screaming seconds before the snap is a little scary for everyone.

The Mustard: Don't you dare move Peyton Manning from the top of your draft board. But if Glenn does indeed retire, do consider what position he is worth drafting at and you might want to let him fall a spot or two from where he would normally go. In the case of auctions, drop his value a couple dollars.
