I meant to only bold the first sentence. Yes, it was about how much guarenteed money he could get hence signing for an inferior team.

:hmmm:I will allow that a night of Brokeback Bronco in a stall with Horseface may have been the deciding factor. They do seem a bit "close".

Teams either had to say in or out at that point.

From there, Manning narrowed his selections.

I was told this from someone yesterday, and then today on Twitter, a great guy to follow, Andrew Brandt commented on it as well. I was leery about what I was told, but this guy confirmed it.

The Chiefs never got past the pre-qualified stage.

Seattle did, but when Manning narrowed his choices, the roster had no appeal.

Just thought I'd post this since we had a lot of discussions about why the Chiefs never got a face to face.

How was AZ, with all its cap issues, was going to make it possible? Cut more players besides Levi Brown?

I think more than 90/5 had to do with it, although I wouldn't be surprised if we low balled the shit out of him.

Yes. Not only that, but the Bidwills signing a $90 million contract on a QB when they just signed a $60 million contract on a QB 10 months ago seems unlikely.
But you never know, stranger things have happened.
Somewhere.
I guess.
Maybe.
