I get your frustration Bump but it ain't happening, but if it does I will be just as excited as everyone else here. It's a risky business situation with that fragile delicate 'formerly' bulging disc and I don't think Pioli pulls the trigger:shake:

It doesn't make sense. Pete Carrol has put a lot of effort into removing a bunch of old players from the Seahawks since he took the job, so I'm not sure he'd want to sign an old QB and WR. Seems he actually wants to build something for the long-term.

No matter who our QB is, no way Pioli is going to let Richardson be our starting RT next year.

Schefter just said "since we had Matt Cassel we wouldn't make the strong Push for Peyton "".
What gets me is the teams they keep talking about as front runners all have betterr QB's then us, except for maybe Seattle and they run a west coast offense.

He is not the only one.

I don't know if I'm inclined to believe this, but if that the case, then **** Pioli

Cassel over Manning? Seriously....My brain on drugs knows better than that fat ****

It's prolly true. Schefter is usually right a lot of the times.

Pioli had better at least appear to be seriously after Manning because if not he'll get torched in K.C. and rightfully so.

Can you imagine him seriously trying to justify not going after PM because of Cassel? It'd be hilarious.

He was until the end of last season.

Bring in Tom Moore. It would be incentive for manning and even if we don't get manning the guy is a specialist in the red zone of an offense. Since are red zone offense blew last year.

LOL at Houston people. There are literally people calling in expecting the Texans to sign Manning saying he'd be willing to sign for very little money to be with such a good team. Houston barely has the cap space to re-sign their starting center.

Not only yes, but hell yes! Garcon too! I'd give Manning everyting he wants... and these next 3 to 4 years could be the best 3 to 4 year run that the Chiefs have had since I was a teenager.

yeah; if you're going to go withe manning....put all your chips out there and see what happens IMO. Get him whoever he wants etc.

what's the worst that will happen? we'll end up in a cap pinch, and go 8-8, 7-9, 9-7, 6-10 in the post-Manning years? BFD. that's par for the course around here.

Depends on how much they cost IMO. After the tag on Bowe how much do we have left? 21M?

Speculations that I've seen say 13M/y for Manning is a starting point. How much will Wayne cost and will Manning take a discount if they are packaged?

Evan Silva ‏ @evansilva Close
Peyton-Wayne package deal fits perfectly with #Cardinals, too. Wayne can play Z, slot in 3-wides. Big upgrade on Doucet, Roberts.

If the rest of the team want's Manning, and what he could bring them in return, then contracts can be structured (Bowe) and restructured (other guys if necessary) to make things work.

And if I was Bowe, and Pioli says we are not going to bring in Manning because we have Cassel, I would give him the middle finger and ask for so much money that a contract agreement may never be reached with the Chiefs.

His neck isn't fragile and isn't a risk. Pay attention, it's been talked about thousands of times over the last year.

Every medical person that's been on ESPN or NFLN over the past year has said that re-injury to the neck is not a concern. His vertebrae are FUSED and are actually STRONGER than before the injury.

The big issues now are arm strength and range of motion.

Evan Silva ‏ @evansilva Close
On SportsCenter, ESPN's Adam Schefter named #Dolphins #Cardinals #Redskins #Jets as the 4 most "legitimate" spots for Peyton Manning.

I don't think Wayne would command such a high price. He's up there in age (32 I think). of course, this is a Wild ass guess on my part. I just don't see him commanding earth-shattering/cap-shattering money.

Clark should be pitching a tent over the millions of dollars that are going to flow into Arrowhead if he brings in Manning. KC instantly becomes the center of the NFL universe. I'm not a huge fan of it, but it does make the team better, to say the least.

I agree. He turns 34 in November.

I'm fully prepared for the Chiefs to not make a legitimate run at Manning.... :shrug:

me too. I've been burned too many times by this team.

I'll believe it when he's holding up a red jersey at a press conference.


check that...a red CHIEFS jersey at a press conference.

Good catch! :thumb:

LOL the media wants him to go to the Jets soooooo bad it's not even funny...amuses me because it'll never happen.

Also why does Washington keep getting mentioned? He's not going to go someplace where he has to play his brother twice a season...not to mention they aren't close to competing.

Teams like Washington and Seattle keep getting play because they can dish out a ton of $$$ but IMO I think that's down a ways on Manning's list as to why he should sign with a team.

Personally I see him staying in the AFC...way better of a chance of getting back to a Super Bowl easier.

This thread is losing its burst!

The more i listen to the Manning Saga the more I doubt he'll be a Chief.

Me too.

I am 100% sure he does not come to KC. Multiple reasons.
- Shaky OL. Not even a deserted interstate can provide a better path to Manning than the great RT Barry Richardson.
- Charles returning from ACL tear, will not be as effective
- Baldwin is unproven, Moeaki is always injured (heard that he got injured while taking a shower because of the weight of the water falling on him from the sprinkler)
- KC receivers are used to having the luckiest and crappiest SoB Cassell throwing to them, they have to adjust to the finesse and precision offense (the ball will no longer arrive anywhere within a 6 feet radius)
- OC Daboll is a hothead (heard that he got into a fight with the person looking at him from the mirror because that person refused to go away)
- Pioli is a control freak (forehead would be wise not to litter the place with candy wrappers unless he wants to get cut)
- Arrowhead is freaking cold, far from ideal conditions for highly skilled passers
- This is Tebow's division (forehead would die in an inferiority complex while gasping at Tebow's QBing skills)
- KC has a chance of winning a playoff game, which means they won't sign him

Realistically, I think he goes to Arizona. If he could somehow survive the games against the 9ers, I think they are set. Seattle also has an average chance of landing him.

Peyton Manning next team odds from @SIASport: Chiefs +275, Cards +330, Jets +450, Miami +600, Broncos +700, Pats +10,000

The OL myth has been disproven over and over again.

ROFL

Yeah, the media has just pooped a big stinking turd in our punch bowl the last 24 hrs.

http://thebiglead.com/index.php/2012...egas-favorite/

RJ Bell (@RJinVegas) has provided odds of teams acquiring Peyton Manning for the upcoming season. Darnell Dockett’s Arizona Cardinals lead the list, which is understandable–they’ve expressed interest through the media, just had success with a veteran quarterback in Warner, have Larry Fitzgerald, and have an option bonus on Kevin Kolb coming up.

Here are the complete odds:

Arizona Cardinals- 19% (+250)
Miami Dolphins- 16.5% (+300)
Washington Redskins- 13% (+400)
New York Jets- 9.5% (+600)
Kansas City Chiefs- 7.5% (+800)
RETIRE- 6% (+1000)
Seattle Seahawks- 6% (+1000)
Houston Texans- 4% (+1500)
San Francisco 49ers- 3% (+2000)
Denver Broncos- 3% (+2000)
Tennessee Titans- 1.5% (+4000)
THE FIELD- 11% (+500)

It's hilarious to watch these posters list reasons he won't come hereand cite the OL, and then list teams like Arizona, who have one of the worst OL's in the NFL.

Hey, we're ahead of "retire"!

Actually, I don't agree with any of those reasons. I think he won't be a Chief because I don't think Pioli will go after him hard enough.

Miami, Wash and Arizona have way worse o-lines than us lol

If we were to break down a list, position by position, coach by coach, KC would be the best fit for Manning.

Problem is, I don't think Pioli wants Manning that bad. I think he's ok with rolling Matt Cassel out there.

Cark needs to override Pioli on this one.

I wish. Not gonna hold my breath.

Listening to Mitch Holthus i'm convinced we won't get Manning. His explanation was a bunch of bullshit.

You were convinced by a bullshit explanation?

Link?

When they talk about the other teams interest in Manning, it is almost always the owners name that comes up with why Manning will go there. We need to be the same. Clark needs to step up on this one.

Chiefs won't spend big money until the salary floor kicks in next year.

I still don't think this is all about the money. Granted it is going to take more than league minimum, but I don't think highest bidder necessarily wins this one.

Mitch is pretty much a shill for the Chiefs. He sometimes gives very good info but it's always aligned with the FO very closely.

Unfortunately, if Mitch doesn't think we'll get Manning, it's probably because the FO is giving him the indication that they're not going to pursue him.

Mitch is an extension of the Chiefs PR department. He made it sound like they were going to tip toe around the idea of getting Manning. This won't be good enough to land Manning.

Or smokescreen? :shrug:

Wait was this interview around the same time as the tampering issue was out there?

No need for smokescreen. If you're going after Manning, there will be no smoke screens. Not even Pioli could hide that from the media.

This is the biggest Free Agent in the history of the NFL we're talking about here. Can't hide it. No smokescreen.

I can't wait to hear Pioli's explanation when Manning goes elsewhere, and we trot out Cassel opening day next year.

IMO, sign Manning, or trade up and get a QB somehow/someway.

Otherwise, it's SSDD with this team.

Give Pioli some credit: Chad Henne just MIGHT beat out Cassel in training camp. :D

As bad as I want to watch guys like Berry, Bowe and Charles, if they roll Cassel out there I'll have to seriously consider cancelling by NFL Sunday ticket.

Watching the Chiefs lose just isn't worth that much money to me.

Manning is repped by CAA. Wouldn't expect him to land anywhere with an in-place QB also repped by CAA. Includes SF, KC, JAX, DEN, OAK, BUF.

FML

We get it Evan, you want to him to be a Dolphin or Redskin. Yes, we know already.

Somebody needs to make Matt Cassel just "disappear".

Hopefully Cassel magically becomes a good QB this offseason.

I guess Crennel will just have to fix that with the release of Cassel.

This is just pure speculation by another dumbass anyway.

That will occur the moment after I show y'all pics of my wild night of passion with Kate Upton.

You believe in Magic then, eh?

Rich Gannon said he spoke to Pioli this weekend and Pioli said he feels good about Cassel LOL

Here are the complete Vegas odds
1.Arizona Cardinals- 19% (+250)
2.Miami Dolphins- 16.5% (+300)
3.Washington Redskins- 13% (+400)

Or he puts Manning in KC and gets C@$$#ole traded for 2 lbs of brisket to start for some shitbag team like the Browns/Jags/etc...

Damn.

In 24 hours the Chiefs got dropped faster than KC in a playoff game...

Even more reason to keep it - so you don't have to...

That is why I watch it a bar. I can always watch another game. I did ask several times this past season to turn the Chiefs game off.

Redskins because they will spend any amount of money for anything
Jets because of the market

both pretty lame reasons imo

Is Arizona really going to switch from Kolb already?


Miami and Kansas City should be the legit leaders

whats tenessees situation? they have cap room?

plus, if he signs with the Chiefs he gets to play the Colts at Arrowhead this season.

Perhaps there can be another house fire, with a less happy result. ;)

Seattle has to be as well i suppose.

Sea, KC & Mia are all pretty similar teams imo, guess it just matters what coaches Manning will mesh with.
