The Colts had two reasons why they released Manning.

1. His salary cap number would have left the Colts unable to sign additional players.

2. The Colts want to clean house and start from scratch. They have released multiple players from the Manning era (Dallas Clark, Reggie Wayne, Melvin Bullitt, to name three) and want to basically "blow up" the roster and build a new one behind the quarterback they hope to draft.
