If Manning wants to win a Super Bowl, he best stay away from Kansas City.

Chiefs would be interesting for the sole reason of them having to decide what to do with the #18 jersey they retired for Emmitt Thomas.

—————————————-
Peyton’s college number is also retired by the Chiefs as #16 was HOF QB Lenny Dawson

People will be surprised how many teams will NOT be interested when they find out more about Manning’s health and his demands……Paying a free agent a huge amount of money on the HOPES that he will be ready to play is a huge gamble..one that not a lot of teams will ultimately decide to take!

That’s just ridiculous. It’s HUGE news. Favvvrre wasn’t huge news. It was the same story year-in, year-out.

They need to be reporting this stuff. It’s actually journalism for once!

Plus he would go to a division won by the Broncos last year with Tim Tebow at quarterback. Easy pickins.

Said it weeks ago, the Chiefs have ridiculous talent on offense and Manning would flourish with those weapons. He would have a stout running game which he hasn’t had since Edgerrin James and two young athletic big receivers on the outside.

The defense will only get better, and if they aquire Manning, Romeo wouldn’t even have to focus his attention to the offensive side of the ball.

@chuckxx

Yes, you are the only one. QB is a bigger need than any other position on the team for the Chiefs. Matt Cassel is pedestrian at best. Also, last I checked the Chiefs were in the top half of the league in available cap space. Signing Manning hardly prevents them from spending on other free agents/draft picks as well as long as Hunt isn’t afraid to open up his purse.

Iam the only one in the world that is not excited about the Chiefs going after Peyton. And Iam a huge Chiefs fan. At age 36 and now possibly one good hit away from another season injury I just can’t see it. They would have to pay him a huge salary which would screw up them going after some free agents that they desperately need. They need a decent NT, another complimentary RB to help out Jammal Charles, atleast 2 Offensive Lineman. Possibly even another safety as well. I just can’t see “breaking the bank” for a guy this old and probably injury prone. NO THANK YOU.

@arbiterflick
Emmitt Thomas would probably let him wear it. Len Dawson offered to let Montana wear 16, but Joe decided to wear 19 instead.

It’s just the classy thing to do.

So what if it’s Peyton Football Talk. It is the biggest story and better than reading about disgraceful head hunters. Peyton IS the biggest and best free agent on the list. Pretty obvious how many organizations respect him and would have a better team with him as their leader.

What do you expect he is the biggest name to ever hit the open market and we are in the information age:) It’s the off season and 5 days from free agency.

I love on how shocked some people could be that this is a huge story giving the times we live in:)

Regardless if Manning comes to the Chiefs Cassel is not the QB to take the team to the SB. It would be a breath of fresh air if Orton is signed and let these guys fight it out.

And rightly so 30ctaveFart….he is probably the biggest Free Agent in NFL history.

Kansas City is the best case scenario for Peyton. Top 5 RB when healthy, top 10 WR at least. Top 10 pass catching TE, a solid O-line and an above average defense. They also don’t necessarily have a franchise QB so moving on from Cassell won’t enrage their fanbase as much as some others should the “Peyton experiment” not go as well as hoped.

Kansas City’s interest in Manning suggests that Crennel and the Chiefs’ front office want to win now, and they’re not convinced Matt Cassel is the quarterback to do that with.

Very few people will be convinced of Cassel’s ability to lead the team into the playoffs and beyond.
