Absosoutely. If it wasn't, his agent never would have discussed numbers prior to visits.

Agreed, but if three sets or more of team doctors liked what they saw, that is ok with me.

He would have went the SF if he cared about winning a super bowl, and if you say otherwise then you are a idiot.

I agree, the Donks are very silly.
It's a C+ squad with an A+ QB. So maybe you'll have a couple division titles to show for that 90 million.

"Manning just wants to win another championship; money doesn't matter, blah blah blah" Not true - money very clearly mattered a great deal. Perhaps he also has legitimate championship aspirations as well, but if the first litmus test was contractual and not based on personnel, that makes it pretty clear that the championship aspirations weren't foremost on his list. I don't fault him for it; it's his life and his livelihood. But in the end, I'm happy to move away from the narrative about how different Manning is than every other athlete. In the end, the money was clearly very important.

Yeah, I can't blame him for it. I'll be curious to see how the contract is structured in terms of protecting Denver if he DOES go down in the first game or something though.

The Chiefs never really had a shot after their initial call to Condon. They knew that, but they also hoped he would at least visit so they could win them over. Again, this is all passed down info, so don't take it as gospel, but it makes a ton of sense.

All that matters is the guaranteed money, which we don't know yet. If the Chiefs really balked at 5 for 90 without some other crazy guaranteed stipulation, then they are stupid.
