Meh. I'm just too jaded I guess. I refuse to let myself get excited. Things like this NEVER seem to work out for the Chiefs.

The team that took on Joe Montana in the twilight of his career is apparently hoping for the same type of short-term revival with Manning, as radio host Brandon Spano reports, citing a source, that the Chiefs have already prepared a contract offer for the quarterback who has been on the open market less than 24 hours after officially clearing waivers on Thursday.

Of course, the Chiefs have plenty of competition for Manning, and it remains to be seen if the interest is mutual. But the Chiefs are apparently being among the most proactive of the Manning hopefuls.

And I hope that a contract sent to "Peyton Manning, RCA Dome, Indianapolis" gets delivered promptly. It was the only address I had.

It seems like the radio report may have taken the written report and then overstated it.

The written report suggests that an offer has been prepared. I guess it's possible they just fired it off to Peyton's agent, but isn't that sort of thing generally done in person? Maybe it was done as a showing of good faith to Manning: "We believe in you sight unseen" - as a way to perhaps gain a little bit of an edge.

Exciting, but I'm doing my damndest to keep from getting invested in this thing.

When they notice the contract gives Manning $14 Billion guaranteed I think they might figure somethings up.
