Kansas City Radio Hosts Reporting Peyton Manning's Agent, Chiefs Have Been Talking

Peyton Manning is looking to be one of the biggest free agents in a very long time, and of course nearly every NFL team will have some interest in Manning. According to Nick Wright and Bob Fescoe of 610 Sports are both reporting that Manning's agent Tom Condon has spoken with the Chiefs that Manning really could be heading to Kansas City.
Teams and agents are not to be talking about players are under contract, and this would mean that the Chiefs would be tampering, but Mike Florio of Pro Football Talk points out this happens all the time, especially at the NFL Combine.
Florio also says why Manning would be a good fit for the Chiefs:

Nick Wright:
I know a lot of you guys thought I was joking about Peyton to KC being possible, but I'm hearing more and more that it really could happen.

Bob Fescoe:
Hearing the #chiefs and tom condon have spoken twice abt peyton manning. Told financials a good fit for kc. We shall see what happens

Mike Florio:

Manning makes sense for the Chiefs for various reasons. They have more than enough cap space, a relatively strong defense, a great young running back in Jamaal Charles, and competent receivers (who'd look a lot better with Peyton Manning throwing the passes). Last year, even after Charles, safety Eric Berry, and tight end Tony Moeaki were lost early to torn ACLs, the Chiefs pulled it together and nearly pulled off a second straight AFC West title.

My thoughts exactly. Peyton is a great QB and is going to the HOF regardless.

But let's be realistic people...He'd be coming to a team with a mediocre offensive line, an OC that's fresh off the bus from questionable performance in Miami (his main claim to being hired here was his familiarity with this offense, which Matt Cassel knows, but Peyton doesn't) add that with recovering from a neck injury and rumors of lack of arm strength...

When Montana came to KC our offensive line was a lot better. He was coming back to work with an OC that he'd worked with previously. I'd argue that we have better recievers now than we did back then, but it's for nothing if the qb spends most of his day planted in the turf.

Manning is a better OC than Daboll. It would be as tough a sell to let Peyton have the control on his next team as he did in Indy. I still don't believe he won't be in blue next year.

Payton has always rubbed me the wrong way. He has always appeared to be a stuck-up "a$$" to me, and one of my least liked players. I've been a Chief fan for years, but if they sign him it will ruin the next season for me, because I would be torn between cheering for the Chiefs and hoping to see Payton fail. But that's just me and I'm sure no one would lose any sleep because of my thoughts.

Everything happens for a reason. Us having all that salary cap space at the same time that Peyton hits free agency is a sign to me if he's healthy! At the right price, WHY NOT!

[chief31]

He is healthy. He has already been released by physicians to play.

Right now the major concern would be about The Colts, and how that is going to work out.

I figure they will have to let him go, though Peyton may make a move to keep his Colts career alive, but that is yet to become clear.

If he does become a free agent, I think we should take the risk with him.

I think Matt Cassel can be a top QB, given the consistency that most elites QBs get. But Peyton Manning IS an elite QB.

We took a similar chance on Joe Montana, and that worked out very well. We took a similar chance on Willie Roaf, which also paid off very well.

I would have some reservations. But they would not be enough to convince me to pass on Peyton Manning.

where was that survey taken?

[Jrudi]

Crennel has now came out an hopped on the bandwagon to talk about acquiring manning.

Saying he would be crazy not to consider bringing him in if he was available...

Those tight lips at 1 arrowhead drive are starting to loosen up! haha

Crennel: Chiefs must consider Peyton

HOLY SHIP BOYS!!!! Looks like we may be in for a wild-ashed ride in the offseason.....

I get the "feeling" that Hunt/Pioli/Romeo are serious about getting either Manning or Orton.

Next year might be seriously exciting!!!!!!

Sign Manning to an incentive/performance based contract, trade up to get RGIII and resign Orton.

We're all set at quarterback!
