Peyton Manning to visit Denver TONIGHT to meet with Donks
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. http://www.denverpost.com/sports/ci_...-broncos-today |

If it comes down to the Chiefs, Cards, and Donks there is no way the Chiefs win. Denver has signed more FA's since FA was initiated than any team in the league. Pat Bowlen has proven that all he cares about is winning, the Bidwell's and Hunt's haven't.

It's pretty complicated and has changed over time, especially as his health has declined. You'd have to go coach by coach, from Reeves down to Fox, to see it.

Odds are stacked against Manning in every way. Only one QB has won the big one with two different teams and none have done it at his age. It can only happen if he signs with KC. Denver will only cause him to play opposite Hali who will hit him so hard that Elway will feel it.

Depends, how long has your FO been in place? Give Gates that same period of time at Apple and tell me what you think he could do.

Our FO has been here three years. Year 1, they inherited about the worst roster you could imagine. Year 2, win the division. Year 3, lose 2 of their best players for the year in the first two weeks and still only finish one game back in the division.

Elway spent most of his career on his knees sucking NFC cock when it mattered.
It wasn't until his coach and owner decided to cheat that he got to "win" anything. |

In fact, when the entire teams are healthy I can't think of one position where you could say that Denver is definitely better than KC.
