Peyton Manning may not play for the Colts this season, but he'll still receive some checks from the team.
Manning collected a $3 million roster bonus on Saturday afternoon, as the Colts had not placed him on season-ending injured reserve.
Manning, who had a one-level cervical fusion Thursday, will collect $26 million in 2011, regardless of whether he returns.
The Colts can opt out of Manning's contract after this year.
