Chiefs Peyton Manning to visit Denver TONIGHT to meet with Donks - Page 69

Peyton Manning will be in Denver tonight visiting with the Broncos, according to two NFL sources.

This is getting serious, folks.

Manning, arguably the most decorated free agent in NFL history, has the Broncos on his short list. The long-time Indianapolis Colts quarterback was released earlier this week amid concerns about his neck, a $26 million bonus payment and the team's opportunity to select highly prized quarterback Andrew Luck with the No. 1 pick in the upcoming NFL draft.

Manning, 36, has been cleared to throw by his neck specialist, Dr. Robert Watkins. One NFL source said Manning will also visit the Arizona Cardinals and Miami Dolphins after visiting with the Broncos. A source said Manning would like to make a decision by Tuesday, the first day of free agency.

The Broncos' top brass of John Elway, coach John Fox and general manager Brian Xanders, are currently in Stillwater, Okla., watching the Oklahoma State Pro Day workout that features quarterback Brandon Weeden.

The Broncos have the No. 25 pick in the draft, plus the 25th selection in the second round. Weeden, who turns 29 in October, is considered the second-best passer to Luck in the draft and has been projected to go between the Broncos' top two picks.

Manning will turn 36 in two weeks.

Manning expected to visit other teams before making decision. Told that he came away very impressed with Pat Bowlen. Same goals.

I'm fairly certain most NFL teams/owners have the same goal: win the Super Bowl.

If he leaves Denver without a deal, they can forget about it.

His agent wasn't even with him in denver so its safe to say he is leaving without a deal.

Keep in mind, pretty fluid situation. He may just like it here enough to stay. Broncos awaiting his next move.

This. And Manning is such a class act that he's going to come away 'impressed' from every meeting he has with teams. He's not one that would say 'they need to get their shit together in there.'

Broncos are the only team in the running with the cap room to easily add multiple ex-Colts that flourished with Manning.

The Denver media's circle jerk right now is enough to cover the entire front range with a fresh coat about 6 inches deep.

which is completely,utterly false, welcherboy.

The Chiefs have tons of cap room and a clean roster in terms of dead money to boot. They haven't reworked contracts to push money around in years.

Maybe our Chiefs aren't "in the running". Andrew Mason must think that.

There is an extremely fine line between love and hate.

If the Chiefs sign Manning, we will love him.

If he goes to Denver, we will cheer when Hali kicks Peytons ass.
