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.
