Mark Sanchez is due $10.75 million in 2012 ($8.5M base + $2.75M roster bonus). Sanchez will have to be gone if #Jets acquire Manning.

Bad math, I know: Sanchez is due $11.25 million. Point remains, #Jets would not keep Sanchez as a backup. He'd be traded or waived.

If Stanzi is going to be good, and that is Polio's secret plan... then I will rejoice.
Getting Manning on a 2-3 year contract does not hurt the team in the long run at all because we aren't giving anything up for him but money that we always have plenty of. And yes, it will piss me off to watch Matt Cassel another season. :#

The Jets, he would have to compete with brother and side show that is Rex Ryan. I don't see that one.

Yup. Miami, kc, Arizona as a darkhorse. That's it

Pursuit of Manning will begin as soon as possible

The pursuit of Peyton Manning is expected to begin as soon as possible, according to several executives who have interest in the free-agent to be.

I spoke to several club officials from teams who would have interest in Manning and, if he’s released Wednesday as expected, they expected teams to begin contacting his agent, Tom Condon, shortly after the transaction becomes official.

“I would think you might as well make that call and get your name in there,” one official said. “You call to express interest and then monitor the situation.”

No one knows Manning’s full medical situation, the officials stressed, and they aren’t so sure that Manning would immediately start making visits or be prepared to throw for teams right away. Team officials expressed belief that it’s possible that Manning ends up holding one workout rather than traveling to the 6-8 teams expected to show the most serious interest.

According to league sources, the Cardinals, Dolphins, Jets, Redskins and Seahawks will pursue Manning. The Broncos, Chiefs and 49ers are also being discussed by general managers around the league as teams that could push for Manning.

Follow Jason La Canfora on Twitter @JasonLaCanfora

I don't understand why La Canfora is pressing about Manning would go to a division where Brady and the Pats have dominated it for the last decade.

Jesus I hope Sanchez isn't cut. You'll get people on this board that talk about how he has untapped potential and "won" (read, was carried by a defense) playoff games, and how we should go after him.

Jesus no.

If he goes to the Broncos I'll be upset.

no shit.

If Manning wants another ring the weakest division is here and that shitty NFC West.

lol. Wont happen.

it would be so funny to see Mark Unitas cut though. ROFL

Problem with the NFC West is that he has to play the 9ers twice, who like to blitz a ton.

Broncos have a ton of cap room too. Over $50 million

Jets will “definitely” give Peyton Manning a long look

Citing an unnamed source, the New York Post reported Tuesday evening that the New York Jets will “definitely” consider signing quarterback Peyton Manning after he’s released by the Colts.

According to the report, the Jets are “wrestling” with the idea of “shaking up their franchise.” It was just three offseasons ago that the Jets traded up to draft supposed franchise quarterback Mark Sanchez. Signing or even aggressively entertaining the idea of acquiring Manning would send the message that the Sanchez move was a mistake.

They’d also likely have to cut ties with Sanchez.

Sanchez is owed an $8.5 million base salary and $2.75 million roster bonus on March 27. The $11.25 million in combined 2012 payments is much too rich for a backup quarterback. There is no realistic scenario in which the Jets could keep Sanchez on the roster if Manning was acquired.

So he would have to be traded or waived.

Jesus we are already starting in with the desperate rationalizations. We're ****ed.

AccuScore: Playoff odds of teams shopping for Peyton Manning

I guess the Dolphins are better than the Chiefs by that then.

Probably because he's an east coast guy & wishes for it.

Miami basically has nothing to offer the guy but Brandon Marshall & a good o-lineman or two.

Their defense is junk, in need of a rebuild & the O is totally bereft of talent outside of Marshall.

Why would he want to go to a rebuilding team, even if it is warm weather?

And the Cardinals are basically the same, with only Fitzgerald as a true go to guy on an undertalented O & a defense thats been picked apart, player by player, in the years since their super bowl run.

Wtf is up with all this "parting ways" rhetoric? They are releasing him. Why do they constantly phrase it as "parting ways"?

We'd win 8.5 games WITH manning?

I don't think any of these media guys have EVER watched a Chiefs game.

oh bullshit ... so signing peyton manning would mean winning 1.5 more games for the chiefs but 3 games for miami/Arizona and 4 games for Washington??

ROFL

We are getting no help by the media...

Media gets out of hand with this shit. How many tweets are going to come out with false information this Spring?

Maybe they still want to be friends.

No one really knows shit. All they have heard is from other GM's who have ideas where he might go.

Yeah basically that is just a bullshit bunch of crap that was completely made up by random people yet shown and presented as true statistics.

It's the Cardinals they have a dome. It's the Dolphins they have warm weather. The Skins like to spend money. The Jets have a obnoxious coach.


Someone actually tweeted that it was all about winning a SB, so Miami makes the most sense. A team that was 0 and 8 at one point last season, who has hired a new coach and is implementing an overhaul of their defense.

37.5% WTF?

Yup. you've pretty much summed it up in the most simplistic way possible. KC gives him the best shot at winning. And it gives him the freedom to take charge and be the leader that this town desperately needs.

We should of known that O'sfan wouldn't post a link that had a favorable view towards the Chiefs. He could be meccas' irritating little brother.

I will be upset if he doesn't sign with the Chiefs. And I will lose faith in this organization knowing that they passed up on the opportunity to sign one of the greatest FA's in NFL history.

Now, if a team like the Broncos signs him, I will really flip the **** out.

Yeah, and a less than 5% chance to win the division now?

Ab.so.lutely... just completely making shit up... 3 more wins here! 4 more wins there!

82% of all statistics...

Why is Jason LaCondoucha pressing for Miami? He needs credibility. He's a laughing stock amongst the inner circle of NFL scribes. He's a company man propped up and backed up by the NFL. Once Schefter, a true insider, bolted to ESPN, the NFL Network needed a low-level hack. Jason is that guy.

Manning wont make his decision about money. He'll evaluate coaching staffs and look for someone like he had in Tony Dungy. Romeo fits that bill better than Philben, Shanahan or Carroll.

The darkhorse is Arizona. Peyton and Ken Whisenhunt golf frequently in pro am's and an off-season outings. AZ's system has a little bit of Indy's scheme embedded deep within. And Manning would love to play catch with Fitzgerald.

Kansas City, however, has a more complete offense with depth at the receiver position, a promising TE cut in the mold of Dallas Clark, a great running back and a helluva defense.

Clark needs to make the move and the Chiefs will be at the epicenter of the NFL. There will be so much collateral revenue generated from this one signing its absurd.

I wonder what the stats would be if CD ran the simulations.

Great points in every sentence Marty Mac.

We had this discussion on here a while back, but if you do sign Manning, how much of that could be made back by parking, ticket, and merchandise sales?

might be the biggest reason for hope.

1. The Hunts like to consider themselves NFL royalty

2. The Hunts REALLY,REALLY like money

Now the question is does he give a damn about winning? Or would he rather just stay warm and collect a fat paycheck?

If you sign Manning, all those luxury boxes that Clark collects the money from fill up, instantly.


Every company in KC is gonna be in on those and will want to make some donations.

Yep. The ROI on signing Manning would be HUGE.

Peyton loves the black man!

My god, do you realize how many Johnson County fans will re-purchase season tickets? Add $5 to parking, who cares. People will pay it to see a legend play 2 preseason games, 8 regular season games and 3-4 playoff games. Jersey sales, increased ad revenue from local sponsors who ARE DYING FOR A LEGITIMATE REASON TO SUPPORT THE CHIEFS ONCE AGAIN....giving Peyton $20 mill is a drop in the bucket compared to the money that can be made on the back end.

Imagine the press at the first game the Chiefs play at home. lol The City the team would generate alot of money. Its really stupid if you do NOT go aggressively after Peyton.

Sup Dawg?

That is true. Clark has to be seeing $ with this potential move. Season tickets would sell out faster than you can say "cut that meat!"

You know? If Elway needs a way outta tebow-land that isn't going to get him hammered by Joe fan this is probably the way to have.

Who could blame him for choosing a healthy Manning and dealing Tebow somewhere else? Win win.

Any win for the donks is a lose in my book, so I hope it doesn't happen that way.

Lacanfora said the Chiefs could be in it as well. He said we arent married to Matt Cassel. He said Denver could also get into it. THere are many teams that are interested. ITs whats right for Peyton Manning.

This is a Chiefs move. This is what the Chiefs do! we sign other qb's. lol
Its like, ok we go with Cassel. Stadium half empty, no one is enthused about the team. We will be average to crappy again. OR Peyton Manning. Stadium ALWAYS full, Fans really really really ****ing excited.

Its a Glass full or a Glass thats almost empty. lol

I say go for it. This is like a one time shot for Scott and Clark. It's worth the risk.

It's whatever Peyton wants really. I say Miami kc and Arizona as a darkhorse.

You definitely could add 5 dollars to parking. People would pay it.


You could add money to anything, for Manning, people are gonna pay it.

!DO WHATEVER YOU GOTTA DO TO UN-JYNX THIS RIGHT ****ING NOW!

There's 0 risk.

We're risking nothing.

Good point. What do we have to lose?

If we sign Manning, expect rape prices for everything that has to do with the Chiefs. They'll start selling beer in shot glasses and charge $20 each.

O.City, I wonder if Clark really did what I said a few months ago.

Remember?

Remember Manning started his career in the AFC East. I'm not certain there's anything keeping him from going back. I'm not sure he's going to pick a team because their division is weak. I could kind of see Archie wanting him to avoid Eli's division. But he would have a lot to gain by going to the Jets or Miami. The hype around the Brady/Manning meetings would be off the charts every year... all kinds of publicity, endorsements, etc. Or if both Mannings were in NY... there would be a ton of hype around that too.

And people would pay for it. It's a no-brainer decision. The only question is will we woo him enough to come here? Can Crennel, Scott and Clark sell KC to him?

(that is if we even go after him)

I wonder how many front office guys of ours are at Arrowhead right now, working the phones trying to set up a workout.

I honestly believe if KC went after Manning hard we would be the front-runner. The question is will we do that. You know that between MIA/WAS/NYJ/ARI atleast one of them, most likely more, will go after him HARD. Would Manning come here if a team went all in for him and we weren't pursuing as hard?

Yeah nowadays it's more about what makes sense money and media wise, not the team or how you fit in best with them. Exposure. I know Manning coming to KC wouldn't make any less of a boner for him, but a place like NY, DC or Miami would be better media frenzies for him for the rivals he'd face and the cities. We'll see.

Lets hope Manning sees how talented this team is.

If Manning goes to Miami, he has a real chance of missing the playoffs.

Same goes for the Jets.

I hope Eric Berry plays a role in bringing Peyton in...being Tennessee alumn and all.

The stuff he said about the Manning situation the other day was exciting.

It's too bad Berry isn't the only player for Tennessee in the league then I'd agree with that argument.

Boss, I don't remember what you said about Clark a few months ago. Enlighten me.

I think one condition with Peyton is that Wayne comes with him.

That might lend to the Dolphins. Wayne is a Miami guy.

The Decision part 2 lol

QB: Manning, Cassel, Stanzi
RB: Richardson, Charles, McCluster
FB: Bannon

WR: Bowe, Breaston, Baldwin, Broyles, McCluster
TE: Moeaki, Maneri, O'Connell

LT: Albert, Potter
LG: Hudson, Harris
C: Molk, Harris
RG: Asamoah, Harris
RT: Potter, Reynolds

DE: Dorsey, Bailey
NT: Ta'amu, Powe
DE: Jackson, Wolfe

OLB: Hali, Sheffield
ILB: Belcher, Siler
ILB: Johnson, Fill whoever
OLB: Houston, Studebaker

CB: Flowers, Routt, Arenas, Brown, Washington
S: Berry, Lewis, McGraw, Washington


With Direkshuns mock, this could be the roster next year.

Can't remember which game but it was when Cassel was still playing when I said something like...Clark should walk right into Piolis office and say "get my team a quarterback" and then walk out. No conversation necessary.

I wonder if something like that really happened.

Internally, Jets have mixed feelings about Manning pursuit

Posted by Evan Silva on March 6, 2012, 10:56 PM EST

AP
The Jets will “definitely” consider pursuing quarterback Peyton Manning after he’s released by the Colts, but a Tuesday night New York Daily News story strongly suggests that mixed internal feelings about the potential alienation of Mark Sanchez might prevent the team from going all-in.

And based on the state of Rex Ryan’s 2011 locker room, it’s reasonable to think Manning would only consider joining brother Eli in the Big Apple if Jets went above and beyond to woo him.

“Why would Manning want to come to the circus?” one team source asked Daily News reporter Manish Mehta.

“Can you imagine if word gets out that we’re trying to get Peyton Manning, and then we don’t get Peyton Manning?” added one member of the Jets’ organization. “Then we have to play with Sanchez?”

Confidence already seems to be an issue for the Jets’ incumbent quarterback. A fruitless pursuit of Manning could rattle the young quarterback to the core.

There are members of the Jets who are much more sure acquiring Manning is the right idea, of course. They’ve been saying it for months.

“I want him in New York,” one player told Mehta on Tuesday. “He needs to be a Jet.”

So, Santonio is likely saying he wants them to come to the Jets.

Maybe. Hopefully.

I bet the Chiefs sign their first free agent after Manning signs with another team.

How many more relevant Tennessee players are there in the league?

Relevant is subjective I guess. Dan Williams was a first round pick the same year as Berry. Denarious Moore?

Trying as hard as i can to remove my bias... how the **** could any ONE of those teams offer him a quicker route to the playoffs, in his final years... seriously?

If he actually chooses to go to one of those teams, then he must be so shallow & greedy that i wouldnt want him here anyway & just hope for Stanzi to blow up, or for Orton to become a castabout success story like Dawson.

But if he wants another shot at the belt, he'd come to KC, absolutely no question about it.

The only reason he WOULDNT, as far as i can see, is if Piolis rep for being a great guy to work for is even worse than we know.

Arian Foster is from Tennessee.
