Or maybe the Chiefs are legitimately interested in signing Manning to a contract.

Matt Cassel is obviously not the answer, and that team looks very talented on paper. They have some great weapons on offense and a defense that is up and coming.

Why wouldn’t they want to fix their biggest weakness with a future Hall of Fame QB?

Long time Chiefs fans know the answer to this, money.

Because if they do, the jig is up. Caveat emptor.

Chiefs were being tied to Manning and showing interest in him leading up to and at the combine, long before Denver’s interest in Manning was even known.
————————————————————————————–
If kansas city showed interest in manning publicly up to and at the combine that would be tampering. So if Denver didnt publicly show interest in manning before his release that was probably to stay within NFL regulations.

The first is PMs agent is Tom Condon. He spent his playing career with the Chiefs and has been known to have a good relationship with the Hunt family. There are some that have proposed that no matter where the Peyton bandwagon lands, the Chiefs have asked to have the opportunity to match. The other issue is the coach. Romeo Crennel is an even tempered players coach along the lines of Tony Dungy or Caldwell. Why would Manning want to go to Miami with rookie coaches, etc. No matter what nobody knows what the deal is until it’s done. So hypothesize and speculate until the deal is done.

Rams wouldnt do that, makes no sense. WAS including that 2nd rd pick was a tipping point in deal, why would they trade it away. If that was the case, they would have just asked for CLE for 3 1st, it would be basically the same thing.

Then Cleveland still has a chance to sign Flynn. And can trade down to 6th with Rams for the Rams 33rd or 39th pick.

The Chiefs are trying to dampen a growing discontent in their fan base given they haven’t won a playoff game in 19 years and haven’t even been to a Super Bowl since the Vietnam War ended.

It must suck to really want somebody and not have him even give you the time of day for a visit.

You might want to think this one through again.

That’s funny. Somebody in Houston says Denver’s weather is bad. Last time I went to your city I couldn’t wait to get out of there. Humidity, scorching heat, the city stinks, bugs the size of sparrows. And playing football indoors is like sex with condoms: unnatural.

—————————————————–

And the fact that Manning played in a dome all his years in Indy is lost on you?

And Denver’s weather ain’t that bad. It’s a great place to see the Chargers win. :)

Umm I live in NY, you see the username, gmen4life? I am not a HOU fan at all, nor a DEN one, but it makes sense. Peyton knows Colts, Jags, Ten, and HOU has everything he needs, and loves playing indoors. Bugs? Ok, you got me, forget HOU Peyton, they have bugs…

For the guy who said HOU has a good QB already, you are right, but Peyton is GREAT

HOUSTON! Why isnt anyone talking about Houston.

negatives for potential teams:

KC – weather bad
DEN – weather bad, no top 10 WR
MIA – tough division, too many holes on team
ARI – too many holes on team, O Line will kill Peyton
HOUSTON – nothing

I wish my team had the problem of bringing the team from the brink of a top 5 pick in the draft to making the playoffs in less than a full season. If Denver thinks that’s a “problem” then why not just cut the guy so he can go somewhere else and spread his “problem” of motivating all those around him to be better than they are in the interesting of winning games. OR, Denver could actually use the coaching staff it employs to make him a “better” player!?!

Pioli understands that he needs to win now to keep his job. The Haley experiment backfired on him. What better way to win now than get a future Hall of Fame QB, assuming he can still play?
____________________________________

Same goes for Jeff Ireland in Miami he failed with sparano and henne he needs to win now or be fired and Ross has tons of money so manning will be in Miami without a workout and overpaid

Chiefs is way better then Cardinals (better o-line, secoundary, rushing game, Cardinals). Let’s face it, the only thing that makes the Cardinals a better place for Peyton it’s Larry Fitzgerals.

And comparing to Dolphins, it’s a tough one. Dolhpins sure have better OL, but Chiefs has rushing, secoundary and both have two good rush defesnses.

I think the Chiefs is a underrated spot for Peyton, should be taked more seriously.

The Cardinals and ‘Fins have some of the worst offensive line play (and ownership) in the league.
