We salute Peyton for all he has accomplished on and off the field, and we wish him health and happiness as he moves forward.”
“Peyton represented what we aspire to have in our players. He promised to win for the Colts years ago, and he did. His achievements are as notable as those of any athlete in any sport, and I offer him my sincerest thanks for his outstanding service and example.”
