The Cardinals have decided to pay Kevin Kolb his $7 million roster bonus, ending their pursuit of Peyton Manning. Kolb was due the bonus if he was on still the roster by 4 p.m. EDT Friday. Manning came to Arizona and spent more than six hours at the team's facility on Sunday, but the team's chances faded as the week progressed. "Regarding today's developments and our quarterback position, acquiring Peyton Manning is no longer an option for us," coach Ken Whisenhunt said in a statement. "Since the end of last season we made it very clear that our plan was to head into 2012 with Kevin Kolb and John Skelton, let the process play out and -- like at every position -- go with the quarterback who gives us the best chance to win."
