Chiefs Peyton Manning to visit Denver TONIGHT to meet with Donks - Page 32

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.

Warmer weather on his aching bones, bigger media presence elsewhere, Pioli... who knows.

Of course a true effort was made. Clark has gone on record. If Manning doesn't end up even visiting it makes the Chiefs look horrible - tons of cap space, not the worst talent, not the toughest division and he still wouldn't even come in for a visit.

And if they aren't running a gimmick offense, McGahee is turribble < / Charles Barkley voice >

The story is that he's also visiting AZ and Miami. If he wants a deal done by Tuesday that doesn't give much time for a trip and evaluation in KC, unless someone wants to buy him sight unseen, which would be incredibly stupid.

Also, GoChiefs, can you get the bet welcher to change his signature?

I don't think that Tuesday deadline is accurate.

I dunno... every team the Donks faced were selling out to stop the run and he still was effective. No team in the NFL faced more 8 and 9 man fronts than the Donks last year.

The Broncos better act quickly. This is what the Dolphins are doing to lure Manning: http://bit.ly/wyGZkG

3 sources tell Yahoo that Peyton Manning's recovery is going at "promising pace," but 100% recovery is "still far off:" http://bit.ly/fuK1QK

I don't think so. It's true that we got a good chunk of cheap rush yards because D's aren't set up to stop QB's from rushing the ball but our line is coming together. Our RT is a run blocking beast and our LT is very good at it. Our interior line hasn't been great but looked better last year at it. We also have a coach who believes in running the ball. So we'll see.
