Because he is going to be 30 years old on an expensive contract, when they already drafted his replacement last year. That cap savings can be better used to re-sing some key free agents or bring other players in to fill in some holes.

In short, Peyton sent his goons to the home of Charlie Sly's parents to "research and clear up" the situation. The interesting detail in this story is that all that happened almost a week before the AJ report came out (and with that Charlie Sly's name was mentioned for the first time by AJ as their "source").
How did Peyton know where to send his goons if what Charlie Sly said on the video was indeed a lie?
