Why Manning ruled out KC...
Apparently, teams were pre-qualified by Manning prior to any visits. When Condon was contacted by the 12 teams, he told them that the contract Manning was starting at was 5 for 90 and going from there.
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. |
interesting.

Cool.
Well hopefully it turns out that we made the right decision. Guess that's all i can hope for. |
So all of Manning's talk like it's for the love of playing QB, the guy didn't necessarily care about best fit, he cared about who was paying the most initially.
I think having Helton and friends around in Denver helped seal the deal. |

Personally, I think Manning is not as smart as we have been led to believe. |

Manning, shockingly enough, chased the money.
For all the talk about how money didn't matter and championships did, in the end it was about the money. I should've known - it's always about the money. |
Manning's incredibly smart.
He's using the Donks for a fat payday. |
If he is healthy, then why not require top dollar? I don't think it says he isn't focused on winning.

5 for 90 and no assurance that Brokeneck can still throw the way he used to? IF he can, 18M/year seems reasonable, if not, that is money pissed in the wind.

How does the pre-qualifying time frame jibe with Clark's public statement about pursuing him?
