Peyton Manning to visit Denver TONIGHT to meet with Donks

[Quesadilla Joe]

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.

Mortensen just said this is basically an exploratory meeting...not a workout, contract negotiation, etc.

Someone on an actual computer needs to look up Manning's numbers all-time against Romeo Crennel defenses, and then tell us if it makes sense to play him twice a year.

I don't have a computer.

I can honestly see Condon and co. paying their due diligence to the Broncos to see what they have to say...knowing that when he comes to KC for a visit they're going to throw the bank at him and he's not leaving as a free agent.

Considering who were talking about and this being his first time in his entire 14-year career to test free agency, I'm not worried about Denver being the first pick out of interest, but instead distance-wise. Wouldn't a flight to Denver be shorter than Arz or Kc? And I feel with how secretive Pioli is, it wouldn't be as easy for the visit to be public information so quickly, especially after that whole debacle being "leaked" last night. Peyton knows how important this choice is and is probably just going to make his rounds and make sure he makes the best choice for him. I'd be more worried of the sunny beaches of Miami than the cold-ass rockys

I was about to cut my wrist until this post.

So...does "en-route" and arriving "tonight" mean he may make a longer stop somewhere else first? Maybe a couple hours in the mid-west?...

this Peyton bidness is too much of a roller coaster ride for me.

Remember Asamougha (sp) was suppose to sign with Jets. Lets sneak under the radar!

Yeah same here. If my internet and cable went out for a couple days, it would probably benefit my mental stability.

That's truly an informative quote. Wow. Thanks Vic.

"Broncos believe they're the favorites." Great! Guess what. So do the Cardinals. So do the Chiefs. etc.
