Welcome aboard the Manning train

[whackojacko58]

The Decision.....of 2012 atleast is almost upon us, to stay a colt or not stay a colt, that is the question.

They have until the 8th of March to cut or keep him.....

i think it does need a new thread look at all the carr/bowe, bowe/carr, rg3, pioli sucks threads... got three days to see if and when hell be free the new video of him throwing he looks sharper and stronger. I seriously think the chiefs have to play there hand and land him, bring in nicks from the saints to protect him and draft a right tackle

Colts are going to cut him tomorrow according to ESPN I on board LETS GO

[Chief Concerns]

Peyton Manning will officially be released, according to multiple sources.

Sources -- Indianapolis Colts to part with Peyton Manning Wednesday - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/nfl/story/_/id/7653897/sources-indianapolis-colts-part-peyton-manning-wednesday)

Let the Manning to KC talks begin.... or rather continue.

:kc:

[#58ChiefsFan]

Every team without a quarterback named Brady, Eli, Brees, Rodgers or Tebow thinks the same thing.:chiefs:

[Chief Concerns]

Give him a 3 year contract.

$5.4 million/yr
- $600,000/gm in reg. season(plays at least 3 quarters)
- $1 million/gm in playoffs(90% of offensive snaps)
- $1 million bonus for winning AFC Championship
- $3 million bonus for winning Super Bowl

$23 million/yr max

:kc:

[okikcfan]

Imma just gonna sit back and wait.....

[whackojacko58]

mmmm were so close i can taste it :yahoo: lol every critisim ive received could be nel and void.... let the jacko stand tall! or i get a slap in the face from reality and he signs to the likely dolphins or redskins, but ill just keep chugging my kooliad :drunkhb: .

in reality im a level headed fan but i decided to make this off season more interesting i would take what was a small glimer of hope and run as fast as i can with it, now its the size of rex ryans ego and i see the light at the end of the tunnel, and i see him, number 18 in the red and gold. the end is neigh repent repent! :chiefs:

[slc chief]

you would think that it would come down to either us or miami.and i think we both have a legitimate shot.we all know the weapons kc has but lets look at miami.they have brandon marshell,anthony fasano,jake long,a pair of running backs and a descent defense.but what scares me about them is there owner is reportadly willing to do whatever it takes to get a top name qb in there

[ctchiefsfan]

If we can get him on a performance-based contract them I am on board.

[slc chief]

maybe would do a manning and jeff saturday combo signing to try and lure him here.saturday is also a free agent i believe

****crossing fingers, toes, and eyes!****

[chief31]

One team that I have heard very little about in this potential lottery is The Minnesota Vikings.

I think that would be a very good fit for him.

that would be a good fit for him. they need a solid receiver though and peyton loves his tight ends wich they do not have a good one .but i think he is going to take the division he would be playing in into consideration as well as the team.one knock against miami is that new england is in the division.minesota has detroit gb and chicago.who knows but if clark is serious about getting a better than average qb.you would think peyton would take a good hard look at kc and the afc west

Report: Peyton Manning will be cut by Indianapolis Colts on Wednesday | Shutdown Corner - Yahoo! Sports (http://sports.yahoo.com/blogs/nfl-shutdown-corner/report-peyton-manning-cut-colts-wednesday-231935941.html)

The move has been in the works ever since it became apparent that the Colts would be in a position to draft Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck. Still, as recently as seven months ago, Manning being released by the Colts would have been unthinkable.
He was the face of the Indianapolis Colts franchise, the man who resurrected a team that spent most of its 13 previous years in the city as an NFL also-ran. Indy landed the No. 1 pick of the 1997 draft and used it to take Archie Manning's son, a football player pegged for greatness ever since he stepped on a high school field.

[Chief Concerns]

Nobody has mentioned them because they have a franchise quaterback in Christian Ponder and while the Jets may be willing to throw Sanchez 'under the bus' to bring in Manning, I doubt Minnesota would do it to Ponder

[AussieChiefsFan]

Oh man it would be so sweet to see Manning in a Chiefs jersey. I have a friend who's a big Colts fan. We could be Peyton manning Buddies :lol:

[jason1981]

if payton wanted an easy road to playoffs he woukd join any of th afc west teams cuz really we all have been sucking and any of the afc west can win the afc west. i think all teams have the talent if they add payton besides charger cuz they have thei qb.

The Chargers have Phillip Rivers, the Broncos have Tim Tebow, the Raiders have Carson Palmer. Do you really think any of those teams would try to pick up Manning? Maybe Denver, but I doubt it. If he ends up in the AFC West, it will be with the Chiefs. Houston, San Fransisco, and Kansas City appear to me to be the 3 top landing spots for Peyton.

:kc:

[KCCF]

Why do we start a new thread everytime something is brought back up. We have Manning threads already post in those.

:kc:

If you mean those teams are the best in weak divisions, then yes. But I dont think SF or Houston want Peyton.
Houston seems happy with Matt Schaub and TJ Yates even did a pretty good job after being the 3rd stringer and having both the #1 and #2 QBs go down with injuries.
SF seems pretty happy with Alex Smith's development last year under Harbaugh. He was pretty good in the playoffs.

[AussieChiefsFan]

They're saying Redskins are the worst place for Manning to go and should only be a last resort for him.

Don't get me wrong, I think KC is the perfect fit for Manning. Just saying for the situation he's probably looking for there are 3 teams that fit the bill. 49ers have yet to re-sign Alex Smith. It does seem that they want him back though. I would love to bring in Manning, Saturday, and Wayne though. If Saturday doesn't retire, as expected.

:kc:

[Drunker Hillbilly]

I don't think there is any chance he ends up in KC.

[bbacker51]

I don't think that Peyton will want to step on Dan Marino's toes by going to Miami. Manning would get sick of being compared to Marino. If he comes here he will only get compared to Len Dawson................and Steve Deberg!:sign0151:

[dbolan]

I hope he is healthy and the Chiefs sign him asap so he can hit the books and get to know management and the coaches.

[azchiefsfan]

I'd pass. Let someone else pay $30-40 million for a one year pig-in-a-poke. Besides, and I would wager serious money on this, he won't last more than 3-4 games before he becomes the world's worst(and most expensive) QB coach again. I like Peyton Manning, but he's too stupid to know the fork's done been jabbed into him.

[kcvet]

if we don't get him i do hope none of our rivals do

[Chiefster]

if we don't get him i do hope none of our rivals do


We won't get him.

[Chiefster]

I just don't believe that he'll land in KC. Even with an incentive based contract I think he'll come with a price tag too high for Clark. JMHO

[kcvet]

We won't get him.

yeah if we did I'd grab my chest and keel over

didn't get see all the press conference but a choked up goodbye to Indy

It is not everyday that a future Hall of Famer is allowed to sign with another team for free, but the Colts made that possible as a result of financial complications, a franchise overhaul and the questionable health of No. 18.

By God my man Horton outta the blue haha. But yeah I have been reading and it's looking like Arizona.

[2010chiefs]

How can they know that for sure???

[nigeriannightmare]

By God my man Horton outta the blue haha. But yeah I have been reading and it's looking like Arizona.

Its not arizona, climate will have little affect on his choice playing against his brother will. Hell stay in the afc playing against ur bro in a superbowl vs playing in a divisional game or regularly is something he has said he doesnt wanna do. Eliminate washington for sure. The jets/dolphins/ and i hate to say it sonkeys but i know will at least make an effort.

[2010chiefs]

I bet Rex Ryan hopes getting Peyton will bail him out and help him keep his job. Could see him going after him for sure.

[nigeriannightmare]

The only time hell wanna play against his brother is the superbowl hell stay in the afc. And peyton will pick where he wants to go.

[bricooper78]

As much as it kills me to say it I think Arizona is where he will go....
....They play in a dome

IMO That is the only reason he'd go there over us.

We've been beating this to death at work, and that is the only reason I can come up with for Manning not to come here, unless he just absolutely hates someone we've got on staff.

That site is bogus. If it's true, you will see it on arrowheadpride.com. Free agency doesn't start till next week.

First he's been cut, so we can see him. I have no idea if it is true or not but the person said it is true and the info comes from a very reliable source inside the org so they say. I am just passing it on. I for one will be watching tomorrow to see what happens.

[TopekaRoy]

That site is bogus. If it's true, you will see it on arrowheadpride.com. Free agency doesn't start till next week.

We can talk to Manning now that he has been released, but you are right. There is no Arrowhead Asylum website. I googled it. There is a facebook page with that name but it is related to the Florida state Seminoles. it has nothing to do with the Chiefs.

[chiefnut]

Pretty much restating my post from earlier but here it is....

- Arizona plays in a dome

-Warm Weather, he hates the cold

-Mannings former QB coach is now there

-Weak Division

They went to the super bowl with Warner a few years ago, they still have the talent to do so with a capable qb.


Chiefs +/-

Cold Weather

Play on grass

Talented team

Even though we signed routte we wont Sign Reggie Wayne or Jeff Saturday, no idea why saturday actually makes sense here.

-San Diego, if you look at peytons history he doesnt have a great W/L record against the bolts.

I dont think he will end up in miami because of tom brady, I dont think he wants to play in a tough division like the AFC East.

I do think it is between AZ and us, with AZ being the leader, i may be wrong but that is the way i am seeing it



+ CHIEFS have best corps of receivers of teams in hunt, 3 wr w/potential to be as good w/a qb like manning throwing to them as he had in indy.
+ manning loves to throw to the te and the CHIEFS have a really good one
+ w/manning the CHIEFS become the prohibitive fav. to win their division....as do the cards.
+the CHIEFS are 1 RT away from having a good O line and a RT and G away from a really good one, that can be done in this draft
+ the CHIEFS have the best D of the teams in the hunt
+ the CHIEFS have the best running back
+ the CHIEFS have the best Mcluster in the bunch
--- Kansas City has wind, rain, cold, and snow
+++Manning & the colts have always beaten the CHIEFS in the playoffs,[painful memories], there could be the opportunity for PAYBACK if they meet again!!!!:chiefs:

touchdown Miami

Peyton Manning lands in Miami; media frenzy ensues


MIAMI—Touchdown, Peyton Manning.

The former Indianapolis Colts quarterback landed late Wednesday afternoon in South Florida, drawing the attention of local TV news helicopters and NFL fans everywhere.

His private plane arrived at a small airport 30 minutes from the Miami Dolphins' complex, but he then rode off in a different direction with the news media in pursuit. When his van reached Miami Beach, it pulled over in a church parking lot, and Manning emerged to tell reporters South Florida might not be his final destination.

Manning has a condo here and has been working out with former Colts teammate Reggie Wayne, who lives in South Florida. Manning's not necessarily Dolphins-bound, he said.

source (http://aol.sportingnews.com/nfl/story/2012-03-07/peyton-manning-lands-in-miami-final-destination-unknown?icid=maing-grid10%7Chtmlws-main-bb%7Cdl11%7Csec1_lnk2%26pLid%3D141700#ixzz1oXbk7q9 O)

I've been sort of on the fence about Manning possibly coming to KC, but the more I think about it, the more I like the idea--IF he can be had for a contract where most of the money is performance based.

he don't like the cold he don't like the heat blah blah blah

if we had domed Arrowhead when it was built...........ah water under the dam.

Yes it is a facebook page and yes it has everything to do with The Chiefs. It's all Chiefs Fans

If you are talking about this facebook page, http://www.facebook.com/events/347116555303420/, I checked the posts going back to Dec. 20, of last year (which appears to be the date the page was started) and I could find no mention of the Chiefs, Kansas City or Arrowhead Stadium, much less anything about Manning visiting KC.

If you are looking at pro and cons dont forget that Manning does not want to go to the NFC because he does now want to play against his brother unless its in the super bowl.

[whackojacko58]

every team is blowing smoke about the draft manning and everything else including us, i think were going to remain really quiet we let manning know hey were interested come visit if youd like which manning dosen't want all the attention hed get at dc, miami, ny. i think on a checklist foundation we get a 100/100. its a great fit.

to those complaining about all the manning threads, hello have you not been around for any huge news to possibly affect our great kingdom??? drafts recently, plenty of berry threads, free agency um ty law. it happens whenever theres big news,:sign0104:

[texaschief]

So, we sign Manning.

Do y'all remember when we traded for Cassel, that he was slapped with the franchise tag first?

What do y'all think the package coming back to KC would look like if they decided to sign Reggie Wayne and trade away Dwayne Bowe?

I think you're looking at a baseline of a first rounder... but where in the first round? As you know (or SHOULD know), draft positions are placed on a point scale to help establish what their value is. So, what would Bowe's value be?

Personally, I think Bowe would be worth the #12-#16 overall pick. I know Jap thinks Dorsey is worth a late first. I'd put him in the 26-32 range. So, let's say we put Bowe in the middle and gets #14 overall value at 1100pts. Now, we put Dorsey in the middle and he gets #29 value at 640pts. That gives the Chiefs 1740 pts to play with... PLUS, their #11 overall pick.

We've signed Manning and the general feeling around the league is that he's a package deal with Wayne (who replaces Bowe). I realize Bowe may be the better of the two WRs and probably has the better upside going forward, but I'm making Manning happy... and in keeping with that theme, I pick up the phone and call St. Louis who has the #2 overall pick and who also has needs at WR AND 4-3 DT. The #2 overall pick is worth 2600 points.

The Rams get:
#11 overall (1st rd) 1250pts
Dwayne Bowe 1100pts
Glenn Dorsey 640pts

Total points (2990)

The Chiefs get:
#2 overall (1st rd) 2600 pts
#33 overall (1st pick 2nd rd) 380pts
#194 overall 13.2 pts (7th rd)

Total points (2993)

The deal comes out to a 3 pt difference which could be made up by boosting the values of Dorsey and/or Bowe a touch.

With the 2nd pick in the draft, the Chiefs take LT Matt Kalil before the Vikings get the chance.

#33 overall the Chiefs take C Peter Konz

#44 overall the Chiefs take ILB Mychal Kendricks

Kalil, Asomoah, Konz, Hudson, Albert, Moeaki
Manning
Wayne, Baldwin, Breaston
Charles

The idea is to get a young, talented offensive line to play and grow up together. Add a little depth in the middle rounds in future drafts and you've got an O-line that can protect ANY QB for a long time to come.

Just a thought.

[whackojacko58]

i think you bring up some vary interesting trade posibilities. personally i can see us bringing in manning, nicks from the saints, and drafting reiff. id love to bring in wayne, but i think id be either nicks or wayne both would cost to much

The idea is to get a young, talented offensive line to play and grow up together. Add a little depth in the middle rounds in future drafts and you've got an O-line that can protect ANY QB for a long time to come.

Just a thought.

Interesting trade ideas. That would probably give us one of the best and youngest OL in the league.

I see two flaws:

1) St Louis is looking for more than what the trade value chart says their pick is worth. Reportedly (according to an article I read on ESPN) they are looking for what come out to close to 3000 pts. Based on that we would have to let them keep their 2nd round pick. That wouldnt be too big of a problem since we could probably go after Nicks or Grubbs, or one of the other FA C's/Gs in the league. And honestly, I wouldnt be too upset if we didnt replace Lilja (now, if we didnt replace B.Richardson, then I would have a complaint).

2) That is giving up a lot for an offensive tackle. Granted he is one of the best in awhile, but you are losing 2 key positions (granted one is being replaced) to upgrade one position.

Another possibility to accomplish the same thing would be to trade with Minnesota directly. Why go for the #2 pick? Everyone is fighting for that pick in order to grab RG3. Why get involved in all the overbidding that is bound to happen. Trade with the Vikings. They have enough needs (specifically they need a WR and a DT) that they might be willing to take the trade the way you wrote it, and we would get to draft the same players.

That is the big question? Who's on De Plain?

It actually isnt a person at all, the plane is filled with suitcases that are full of non-sequential 20 dollar bills and a pig. The money and the sacirifical pig are our humble offering to the God of the Pass. All hail the Manning!

I thought about the Vikings as well, but I have a tough time believing they'd walk away from the best LT prospect since Jake Long... although, Dorsey, Bowe, and #11 would do the job if they were willing.

I'm willing to ride with Allen Bailey at the DE spot to replace Dorsey. He was a steal in the 3rd last year and showed signs of putting it all together. If he had "put it all together" a year earlier, he would've been drafted in the top 10 overall. This kid is incredibly talented and more than capable of replacing Dorsey at DE.

The only way I'd be willing to give up all three is if we get TWO picks in the first two rounds. #3 and #35 overall would suffice.

[bricooper78]

Pretty much restating my post from earlier but here it is....

- Arizona plays in a dome
I give you this one..as I quoted it as the reason he may go there over us.
-Warm Weather, he hates the cold
Read above--> dome=no cold weather while they're playing in there. Indy has winter too, so outside of playing football in it, he dealt with winter for 14 years.
-Mannings former QB coach is now there
There is one I didn't know, thank you!
-Weak Division
You call a 3 way tie at 8-8 a strong division???
They went to the super bowl with Warner a few years ago, they still have the talent to do so with a capable qb.

I used to crap my diapers, and if I squeeze into some Depends, I am still capable of doing so. What's the point? (btw that was TOTALLY a joke in case anyone missed it :smile)


Chiefs +/-

Cold Weather---minus, all the way a minus, we know that one

Play on grass----Peyton has said how me misses playing on grass

Talented team--i'd venture to Very Talented, and building!

Even though we signed routte we wont Sign Reggie Wayne or Jeff Saturday, no idea why saturday actually makes sense here. I don't if we wouldn't sign Saturday, but drafting some OL has to be on the ticket, and maybe a FA too, so that will be addressed, we don't need Wayne, unless he'd come cheap.

-San Diego, if you look at peytons history he doesnt have a great W/L record against the bolts.
Our coaching staff has that covered. He didn't play them twice a year every year.
I dont think he will end up in miami because of tom brady, I dont think he wants to play in a tough division like the AFC East.
Completely agree with you on that one too

I do think it is between AZ and us, with AZ being the leader, i may be wrong but that is the way i am seeing it



Man I kinda hacked up your quote there to try to wiggle in my short and kind of incomplete thoughts a few pages ago. I don't really disagree with you on a lot, I also don't think there is any real reason aside of playing outdoors in the weather, which will be our one HUGE negative to Peyton.
I hope all the plus side overcomes that one negative!!!:bananen_smilies046:

Brandon Spano Hey guys, some of you might not know, but I am a Chiefs Crowd original. lol. Before I got into the media. Anyway... The report just means that the Chiefs offered a contract, doesn't mean that he will sign, just means that it was offered, but yes it was offered.

[TopekaRoy]

It's encouraging that we were the only team prepared to offer him a deal, right away. That doesn't mean it will be the best offer he receives or that he will take it, but it might give us an edge.

I'm ambivalent about signing him at this point. I would like to see his recovery progress more first, but I understand that may not be an option. If we sign him, for a reasonable amount, it could work out very well, or very badly. If we don't get him, I won't be too upset about that either.

[AussieChiefsFan]

Roy you better be encouraged if we sign him, all we need is a QB on this team...

All we need is a healthy quarterback who can throw the ball, and a couple of offensive linemen, and a nose tackle, and a running back to complement Jamaal Charles, and ...

But i think we can take care of those other needs, this year. If Manning can throw the ball, that would be great. But if he can't, or he re injures his neck in game two then we are screwed. We are back to having no depth at QB and nobody to compete with and challenge Cassel to play better. That's a risk that, it appears, most people are willing to take.

One, two, three....not it!

It's a combination for me, Manning's age, not having played for over a year and a half, random video's showing him throwing a ball deep, reports that he's not at 100%, having to learn an new offense, learning what those players do on that offense and developing chemistry with them, FOUR neck surgeries and that any hit could not only remove him not only as a QB but remove him from being able to walk or worse.

Yes I understand that any hit can end a players career but this is one that will be under scrutiny from the first snap he takes until he's taken the last snap he'll ever take.

[kcvet]

Manning will be in Denver today. did he fly right over us???

Peyton Manning is on his way to Denver, courtesy of a Broncos' private plane and in the company of John Elway, John Fox and Brian Xanders.

if you were as talented as Tebow would you play 2nd banana to Manning????

[matthewschiefs]

And some O line help. Don't forget that. If we got Peyton and couldn't protect him then he wouldn't make much of a difference

[jason1981]

i would questions manning's thought process if he chooses the donkies. cuz i dont see what he would see in them. i dont think they are that talented. the only won a few gsmes cuz of tebow and it took teams a while to figure out how to slow him down. im not saying there a bad team bit just not talented enough toreach a super bowl well atleast not as much as we are. give us a good RT and a NT we can be contenders. along with some good depth.

[chief31]

I think we are going to get him.

[kcvet]

maybe the former Chief Condon can put in a few words???

[jap1]

One thing I completely forgot about until just this minute. Ryan Lilja was Peyton's guard for quite a few years. I wonder what kind of effect (positive or negative) that could have on his choice.

[AussieChiefsFan]

I heard bringing in REggie Wayne was part of the contact offer. Is that true?

[jap1]

Interesting quote from Bradon Lloyd on ESPN interview: "Where Peyton Manning goes is going to change the landscape of free agency." "Both Offensive and Defensive players are going to want to go to whatever team that he picks for the chance to play on an automatic contender."

Interesting thought.

Positive. They have been to two superbowls together, if Casey does indeed retire bringing in Saturday on a one year contract would make sense as well.

At this point you can pretty much buy the entire colts offense on the free agent market. Dallas Clark was cut today as well.

[TopekaRoy]

If Manning is willing to entertain the possibility of going from a dome to Denver (one of the coldest places in the NFL) then that throws the whole idea of him wanting to play in a warm weather city/dome out the window. That actually improves our chances of getting him.

just FYI

Three Broncos players have been suspended to start the 2012 season for violation of the league's substance abuse policy.

Two league sources have confirmed that linebacker D.J. Williams and defensive tackle Ryan McBean tested positive for performance enhancing substances on the league's banned list and will be suspended for the first six games. Rookie tight end Virgil Green also tested positive and will be suspended for the first four games.

The Broncos issued the following statment: "We are aware of this matter, but due to the confidentiality of the program, we are unable to provide additional comment on the situation."

[ctchiefsfan]

Not much of a source, but The New York Post reports that Manning has narrowed it down to Broncs, Cards or Fins.

[#58ChiefsFan]

Another source

@BrandonSpano: As for Chiefs. There is no scheduled visit. Chiefs will try to get a meeting after AZ, but all signs point to low interest now from PM camp


Who knows with this deal but it won't be terribly long before Manning decides.

[ctchiefsfan]

NY Post also reported that Manning intends to make a decision by Tuesday.

[#58ChiefsFan]

I'm indifferent on whether I care if the Donks land him or not. Either way they have damaged the Tebow relationship and Romeo will coach about the same amount of time Manning has left, Romeo has had his number as much as any d coordinator.

[kcvet]

he's in AZ today

[toyotapower]

I think the ride is over for us. Not trying to be a pessimist, just realistic. I don't necessarily think its all bad though. This just means we will continue with pioli's plan..... I just hope the plan includes a franchise qb at some point. I bet we sign orton very quickly after peyton signs with someone else

[TopekaRoy]

I still think Manning ends up in Miami. Denver is too cold and Arizona is in the NFC so he would have to face Eli much more often and they might be knocking one or the other out in the playoffs. It's also possible (although unlikely) that Peyton hasn't come to KC because we already went to him. He might be comparing DEN, ARI, and MIA to KC and if he's still interested in us, he'll come by. If he shows up in KC tomorrow, expect a really good news conference from him on Tuesday!

As for Orton, I don't think he wants to play here with Cassel expected to be the starter. He could probably beat Matt out for the starting job, but may want to go somewhere where he has less competition. If he just wants to be handed the starting job, then I don't want him, anyway. But if he is willing to earn it, that would be great for the Chiefs.

[ctchiefsfan]

I am also starting to think we may be out of the hunt....and I see a potential upside to this. It would leave us a lot more money to sign our own and other FAs. I suspect it would mean we could keep Carr and Bowe and still have money to go hunting in the FA market.

As much as I like the idea of having a superstar QB, getting Manning and a FA or two to complement him would mean giving up a lot of long term potential to get what amounts to at most a 3 year run.

Do you "risk it all" on a 3 year roll of the dice or do you build for a shot at a dynasty.

Tough choice coming off years of mediocrity.

Glad I don't have to make the decision.

I agree with all of this.

except ...

It's not a tough decision for me at all. If you told me we could be really good for the next two years, but no guarantee of winning a Super Bowl, or we could keep building and getting better, and in a year or two we will have the young talented pieces in place to be really good for the next 10 years, I would take the latter in a heartbeat. The Patriots make the playoffs almost every year. They don't always win the Super Bowl, but they have more chances to win the Super Bowl because of it.

If you look at what we did at the end of the year, without many of our best players (Charles, Berry, Moeoki and our staring QB) against teams like the Packers and the Steelers, as well as teams in our division, you can see that we are very close to being a great team. Use that boatload of cash (and the draft) to keep developing the team for the long term and we can be great for many years to come.

Exactly the point I was trying to make....however inarticulately.

Even without Manning I think we have a legitimate shot at having a team that can make the playoffs for many years to come and I don't know if I'd want to trade that for a 2-3 year flash in the pan with Manning.

Credit where credit is due. After the "Montana Era", its hard not to get hopped up about the idea of getting Manning, but I would take 8 playoff berths in 10 years over Manning any day of the week. I figure I have at least 20 more years as a Chiefs fan left in me and I've no interest in trading a Superbowl appearance in the next 2 years for 10 years of mediocrity after the Super Bowl appearance.

[matthewschiefs]

Looks like we are out of it, it is between denver and arizona, oh well. Say hi to another .500 season

We just about went .500 without many of our Key players. Not getting Manning won't kill this team. Even getting him won't promise anything more then what we have now. What if his neck can't take the hits of a NFL season? Either way I Think we are going to have a good season this year. We will be a deeper team after free agency and the draft. I can't wait for the season to start

[ctchiefsfan]

Chiefs are the best team in the division. Better than the Donks with Manning. MMO is a fool. We still win the division next year even if the Donks have Manning. A little more talent through the draft, a FA or two, and we OWN the AFC West for 10 years.

[okikcfan]

Well lets hope he take AZ. Trust me, he will be spittin grass a lot there, their O line sucks.... I kinda feel he never really had an interest in KC unless he is just not saying anything. But IMHO we really need to up grade our QB spot to do well unless Cassel steps up and plays as he did in NE.

[okikcfan]

lol and wayne or vincent jackson? Yeah ok. If we have cassel we wont win the division

Well, never say never......

If he really has no interest in KC, then he can go eff himself. If thats the case, I'm ready to move on and use the manning money to get Soliai, Nicks and a running back. Get a LB to compete with Belcher and Siler, and then draft a RT and for depth, esp on OL, SS, FS, and TE. Get a decent backup QB, and we will be extremely competitive.

the article saying were out was by a denver post i dont trust it one bit, i do feel more down to earth now that he hasnt came to kc yet but i wouldnt calk us down and out hunt said were interested till i hear manning say were out im still got hope

[KCraised]

My thoughts exactly sure it would have been nice to have him But we will be fine. Need some help but we don't HAVE TO have Peyton lets get anther qb and see what Cassel and Stanzi can do as well.
Its probably for the better. I wanted him pretty bad but as all of the drama played it, it made you realize he is a huge gamble. I dont care what anyone says, he has had multiple operations on a sensitive area, he is near retirement, he wouldve cost a tremendous amount of money. Lets hit FA and the draft with some stars for the duration. I hope he signs with the Donkeys! Tamba, Peyton. Peyton, Tamba. CRUNCH

[AkChief49]

Well the fat lady can be heard warming up......

[ctchiefsfan]

Be kinda fun if he went to the Donks. Fun to pound him into the dirt twice a year. Raise the black flag! NO QUARTER!!!!

[Eydugstr]

95% confident....Not sure I'd take that one to the bank.

Wouldn't Miami be the better match for him?

Granted Tebow has a long way to go...But didn't they ditch Orton for Tebow, Tebow started winning games for them (with his scrambling ability)...And now they are completely sold on the idea that they need to replace him with an immobile QB that's had neck surgery?

So much for the "not a cold weather QB" point. I hope Denver has the worst winter weather this year;)

he's going to the fins for their offer. no sign he's coming here. yet


Report: Tim Tebow gone in Denver if Peyton Manning signs with Broncos



Despite last season's playoff run and intense national interest, the Denver Broncos don't plan to keep quarterback Tim Tebow if they can sign Peyton Manning, according to a published report.

The report from Pro Football Talk, which cited an unidentified "source with knowledge of the dynamics in Denver," said the team prefers to trade Tebow rather than release him.

According to another Sunday report, Manning is down to two teams—and the Broncos are one of them.

the other is AZ. we could finish Tebow's training here. would the top Chiefs consider him???

[kcvet]

he's plans to make his decision by tomorrow

[tornadospotter]

If PM goes to the donks, that just gives Tamba two games a season to pound him into the turf.

big Chiefs will try and sign Orton. they stated its important Cassel get competition

[ctchiefsfan]

One thing is certain....If he goes to the Donks, by the end of the first KC-Denver game he will be asking himself..."Why didn't I go to the Chiefs?"

Y'know something boys....I'm starting to think that ABSOLUTELY NO ONE has a clue what is going on in his head.

Other then the fact that he must be up to a size 42 hat by now.

no if we can't get him I don't anyone in the AFCW to get him. he's running on the fly right now

[AkChief49]

He's just stirring the pot. Trying to get the most money. I keep hearing it is not about the money-B.S.! He's got what, 5 teams openly chasing him? and probably a couple more in the shadows.

I still think the team that lands him might end up with a bit of buyers remorse. When will he have to show that he can throw? Never mind the "Zapruder" film that showed a #18 throwing a ball at Duke U. Manning is a great QB, but if he cannot throw with velocity he might as well run a wishbone offense.

I think you are right! All the "hype" had me thinking he was the "moral equivalent" of Montana.

I suspect I was wrong.

He is starting to look like just another greedy SOB!

Getting so there is damned little honor left in the NFL anymore.

No worries though!

We've got a good team!

We have a lot of cash!

Let's build a DYNASTY! :chiefs:

[Jrudi]

Just wondering...did anyone notice that the guy who reported we were out of the hunt is from a DENVER newspaper??

Just saying I've heard we're out....and then I've heard "wait a minute, he hasn't ruled anyone out yet.."

so I've taken the method of sitting back, waiting to hear where he signs, I think everyone is in the dark, and the media as jizzing all over themselves with anything they can get out first (even if it's true or from a reliable source or not)

It's all about get it out first...So let's just wait a see

[kcvet]

the days of loyalty to the team and fans is loooong gone. just sayin'

Actually, I think the first "source" to report we were "out of the hunt" was the NY POST.....as I posted somewhere here.

Absolutely! And I don't begrudge any NFL player the desire to make a ton of cash.

But y'know, Montana came to KC because he wanted to win one more Super Bowl and he thought he could do it in KC. That showed some serious CLASS.

There was even a report that if he won a Super Bowl in KC he intended to go to the HOF as a Chief.

Manning ain't no Montana.

[AkChief49]

I'm thinking maybe we should have wooed Archie not Peyton.

Chargers GM A.J. Smith thinks Archie Manning is masterminding Peyton Manning's free agency tour | Larry Brown Sports (http://larrybrownsports.com/football/aj-smith-ask-archie-manning-where-peyton-will-sign/122598)

It's a little funny though that AJ still has sour grapes about being dissed by Archie back when Eli said no to the Eggos.

[KCraised]

Gotta give it to Bud Adams. Alot of people consider him a bumbling old fool but it sounds like he is getting a visit. Guess we need to rethink old Bud.

[KCraised]

Archie has always masterminded. Eli from SD to NYG? Archie
Thats why I cant see peyton going NFC. One brother might knock the other out of playoff contention.

[TopekaRoy]

That was done mainly to keep ELI out of the AFC, so he wouldn't have to face his brother in the playoffs. Which is why I would be really surprised if Peyton goes to Arizona or any other NFC team.

[KCraised]

Exactly. I would bet $100 he will not land in AZ, for the chance of that happening.

[ctchiefsfan]

I suspect it is Miami or the Donks. Read somewhere that the deal was done with Miami long ago and all this "stuff" is just cover for tampering that went on.

[texaschief]

I think this whole situation could be just a brilliant negotiation strategy by Condon. You've got one of the best QBs in NFL history hitting the free agent market. You know who your suitors are going to be. You've got Miami, Kansas City, and Seattle as primary suitors. So, how do you get the most buck for the bang out these 3 teams?

How bout you go visit their division rivals? Manning's interest in Arizona and Denver defies conventional logic. Are you going to go negotiate with a team in Arizona who's already $16MM OVER the cap if you're trying to get the kind of money he's asking? How bout Denver? We know they've got the cap space to pull the trigger, but they also play in the coldest stadium in the league, at the highest altitude, and already have the infallible Tim Tebow in place that you're going to have barking down your back if you happen to falter as you did early in 2010. Doesn't make too much sense.

BUT, if you put out a statement stating that your client is going to make a decision in less than a week and create a false sense of urgency around the country among front office personnel and fanbases, THEN, go and visit those places to drive up the panic and price, your chances of landing a bigger contract because of a panic move by a rival GM is more likely. We've already seen the Manning camp come out and say the decision probably won't be Tuesday afterall.

You need to be watching the other hand. These guys COULD be showing the public one thing while negotiating in private on a completely other wavelength. If I were Manning and I'm leaning towards Kansas City as the place where I want to play football, but I also want the best contract possible, why wouldn't I go visit Denver first? Why wouldn't I leak something to a Denver reporter that said the Chiefs were out? Those kinds of things are only going to raise the anxiety level at Arrowhead. If I want a contract that guarantees $12MM, why wouldn't I say I wanted $20MM?

These negotiations usually come down to who's going to blink first and Condon COULD be playing the best game of chicken in NFL history with this negotiation. He COULD be setting the pieces in position perfectly to make KC come over the top and offer the 12 or 13 Peyton realistically wants by flirting with the enemy and putting out false reports...



... or, the Chiefs really could be out of the race. All I'm saying is don't jump off the ledge yet. Look at this thing from another angle. The thing that really bothers me about Denver and Arizona is that they really aren't that great of fits for Peyton and it truly defies logic to think those two teams are the front runners considering their stadium and cap situation respectively.

[OPLookn]

I hate to say it but if Manning lands in Denver it's for money and money only. One of the things I've heard people say is he wanted warm weather and a dome...Denver...really? Glad he was willing to do a performance based contract.

[TopekaRoy]

I think this whole situation could be just a brilliant negotiation strategy by Condon.

...

Excellent post, my friend. You just earned some "rep" from me! I've never considered the "rival" angle, but it fits. I still don't think he would be interested in playing in Seattle, and their coach said they don't want to panic over the QB decision, but if there is perceived interest there, I can see using it to drive up the contract (or other perks in the final deal).

I''m still not a big fan of getting Peyton and I don't think it is likely at this point, but who doesn't love a good "conspiracy theory?" :smile

[Jrudi]

Funny thing.. i actually read an article talking about this same idea, but that the Chiefs were doing it to drive up the price for the Broncos...Basically to strap the team for future additions.

But I can see your angle, and I agree...There are too many reports that don't match up...I really think EVERYONE is in the dark on this entire situation...

The other thing that baffles me is that report that said manning refused to come to arrowhead for a meeting? No reason given? The Chiefs were supposedly the first to offer a "Completed Contract" to Manning and Condon..sounds like they brought their "A" Game..
and Manning is supposedly looking for a team with high standards inside the building as well (which we have.)

but also you can't honestly tell me (all bias asside from me being a fan) that Denver or Arizona is a better place to be than KC??? Seriously???

The only thing AZ offers is a Dome and Fitzgerrald...Their D isn't good, and their O-line is even worse (gave up the most sack of any team last year)

And Denver??? has been built for an nontraditional power running offense, has a 32 year old workhorse back who is on his last leg, and has the receiving talent of an oompa loompa..I mean C'Mon Man!

something just doesn't seem right here

[okikcfan]

Well it's time to move on from Manning and work the FA with some real gusto. Manning coming to Arrowhead, bring it. We'll have ol' Archie in the stands crapin his pants for his boy.....

Denver and Az are a good fit for medical reasons according to cj. Low humidity and high altitude increase the healing and reduce the risk of arthritis.

[kcvet]

Misinformation is POWER.
Something stinks. No public aknowledgement from the Chiefs camp that they are officially out? I mean, Peyton declined a meeting? That was reported over the weekend? And still no comment from the organization? Something is just not adding up:)

He's not going to throw for every team he visits. He will wait until he is made his choice and I'm sure the contract will be contingent on his ability to play somewhat.

I agree with this. Which leads me to believe something is rotten in Denmark.

Peyton says it is not the money, we keep hearing about performance based contract etc., etc.. So why did he not restructure to stay with the Colts? if it was not the money(of course it is) why are we talking about him as a free agent?

The Colts (IMHO) saw something or are privy to info that told them he was not worth the $$ they signed him for. I will stop :beat_DeadHorse:ing this poor fellow.

[TopekaRoy]

Still, you have to wonder. They're(Colts) giving up on one of the best ever under center. Is that arm anywhere near the same?

I think you nailed it here. The Colts could have restructured his contract to keep him. I think I even read/heard he would be willing to do that to stay in Indy. That it didn't happen could mean two things.

1) Manning knew that there was no way his arm strength would recover enough to start over Andrew Luck.

or 2) The Colts could tell by his lack of progress that he would not be able to play this fall.

I think it's a combination of both.

The Colts released him as a favor, just like they kept him on the roster this season and paid him $26 mil...Yes some was money driven because of the $28 mil due on the 8th BUT both parties realized Peyton's career is almost over, and the direction the franchise was going in (re-building) both parties realized that he would not have a chance to compete for another championship before he was done. The Colts let him go because they knew it was his best opportunity to nab another championship.

The other question I just asked myself??

Not sure that any reports are true, but the one that said Peyton refused to make a trip to Arrowhead...If this is True, why aren't we doing what the Dolphins did and go to him instead of waiting and expecting he come to Arrowhead? Maybe we show we really want him, go meet with him, and that make's him re-think, and schedule a second meeting at Arrowhead.

Just wondering?

I think Manning is dragging this out to be the "queen of the ball". He's being a dick. He has had all the offers on the table for several days and weighed the pros and cons. He's either playing one team against the other or he's enjoying the diva treatment way too much. His behavior in all this has lowered him dramatically in my respect-o-meter. I'm glad he's not coming here, but this game he's playing is getting old.

I don't have the slightest problem with how Peyton is handling this.

He is being chased by several teams, and he is stopping by the cities to hear them out. Who wouldn't?

The mass of press coverage is not his doing.

He is just trying to make a very big decision, and only a fool doesn't put some time into that.

I've kinda moved on with the idea that he wont be here next year haha

He is just trying to make a very big decision, and only a fool doesn't put some time into that.

He has known he was going for a long time. He should have already had a short list and gone to see those teams prior to the start of Free Agency. hes screwing over teams by not making a decision and allowing them to move on with or without him.

His hat size has grown from size 13 to size 42 to size 87 and growing.

Good riddance.
