quarterback Peyton Manning took another positive step forward in his recovery from neck surgery on Friday, conducting an aggressive throwing session in his Colts helmet, shoulder pads and jersey at Duke University, a source at the workout told ESPN.

Manning can be seen in a video clip posted late Friday on YouTube, independently verified as authentic, making apparent encouraging progress in his recovery from the surgery that sidelined him for the 2011 season. The session comes as a deadline approaches for the Colts' decision to exercise a $28 million option on March 8.

Manning can been seen completing passes in the video posted by a user who had access to a videotaped portion of the session near the Duke practice field.

Sources at Duke and close to Manning confirm he has been conducting aggressive throwing sessions in shoulder pads and helmet since Tuesday at Duke, where his former University of Tennessee offensive coordinator David Cutcliffe is now the head coach. It is Manning's second trip to work under the supervision of Cutcliffe.

Among those who have joined Manning in Durham, NC, include Colts teammates Dallas Clark and Austin Collie, as well as former teammate Brandon Stokley, sources said.

Manning was spotted at a local Durham restaurant Friday evening signing autographs during dinner, a source said.

Manning has increased his throwing regimen as Colts owner Jim Irsay contemplates a decision on whether to exercise a $28 million option by Thursday. Manning and Irsay also have had conversations about the veteran quarterback continuing his career as a Colt even though it is a certainty the team is set to use the No. 1 overall 2012 draft pick in Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck.

Several sources have told ESPN during the past month that Manning's throwing strength has dramatically improved as his nerves continue to regenerate following his latest neck surgery Sept. 8. Doctor Robert Watkins, who performed the single-level cervical fusion, has stated publicly that he has cleared Manning to resume his playing career. Colts owner Jim Irsay has stated Manning still needs to pass a team physical even though sources have said that Colts neurosurgeon Dr. Hank Feuer has also told Manning it would be safe to resume his career.

They wouldn't have cleaned house if they were keeping him.

This is shaping up for really a few really special years in KC...but I'm not buying season tickets till "the deal is done"

I comprehended your nonsense just fine. You don't rebuild with a 36 yr old QB.

This situation has me a little intrigued. Irsay is acting a little passive at this whole situation but at the same time he is open to it. If he really wanted to keep him, then he would be hard pressed to sign him instead of saying comments like, "if Peyton wants to make it work, we can make it work."

But he has the number 1 pick in the draft and is ready to move on. It clear Peyton is an option at this point and Irsays comments about the situation reflect that.

I don't even think money is an issue. The real issue in my opinion is the Colts team in general. They are in a rebuilding phase. If your Peyton, you see they have the number 1 pick in the draft and are ready to rebuild. What's the point of him staying on a team ready to rebuild with a young QB? Especially when he is at the later stage in his career. I bet at this point it's about which team gives him the best chance to win? I'm sure he wants to come back and give it another run. Indy doesn't give him that option. KC on the other hand does.

It doesnt make sense for the Colts to drop that much cash on Manning at this point. Even with a 100% back to form Manning, they still arent winning anything for a while. That 28 million they owe him would go a long way toward rookie contracts.

I dont see them hampering the development of Luck by having him sit behind Manning while they are in rebuild mode anyway. I think Irsay and Co. bite the bullet and release Manning and go all out for rebuilding with youth, and Luck as the cornerstone.

Manning's window for another championship has closed with Indy. If he wants a shot at a superbowl, he's going to have to go somewhere else to get it. Id love to see him in KC.

Brady wasn't 36 at the time the roster turnover began either, was he?
