Did this thread win because of the asterisks? I bet it was because of the asterisks.

I'm very excited about this. I would've never imagined Peyton becoming a Chief, but now it's going to happen.

Source: Colts to release Peyton Manning

Peyton Manning's 14-year career as a member of the Indianapolis Colts is coming to an end.

Sources close to the team told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that the announcement will come at a press conference in Indianapolis on Wednesday with both Manning and owner Jim Irsay in attendance.

The decision to pass on the $28 million bonus owed Manning and not to pick up the four remaining years on his contract means Manning will become a free agent, and sources told Mortensen that he intends to continue to play.

The four-time league MVP missed the entire 2011 season after having his third neck surgery in 19 months, a fusion of two vertebrae. His doctors have medically cleared him to resume his career and Manning has increased his throwing regimen.

Several sources have told ESPN during the past month that Manning's throwing strength has dramatically improved as his nerves continue to regenerate following his latest neck surgery Sept. 8. Dr. Robert Watkins, who performed the single-level cervical fusion, has stated publicly that he has cleared Manning to resume his playing career.

Manning has broken all of Indianapolis' career records for quarterbacks and had never missed a start before last season. He's taken the Colts to the playoffs 11 times, captured seven AFC South titles in eight years, won two AFC championships, one Super Bowl title and a Super Bowl MVP Award.

The Colts have the No. 1 overall pick in April's draft and are likely to draft former Stanford quarterback Andrew Luck or former Baylor quarterback Robert Griffin III.

I'm ordering season tickets now before he's officially a Chief and beat the rush.

OK Clark ROFL

I am shocked to be honest with you, I never thought of Peyton in another uniform, it is going to be so weird and not right at the same time....

FYP

I would be surprised if he is in a Chiefs uniform, I see him going to the Dolphins

Mort just rattled off the top teams who will be after Peyton.

KC was not one of them...LMAO

In!

Peyton Manning

ROFL

This not going to end well...

I'm not gonna get my hopes up too high, but I'm not gonna lie...I'm pretty excited at the possibility.

Who did he rattle off? just curious

Dolphins, his penis

I'm gonna guess. NY Jets, Washington, Miami.

THIS

We are the Kansas City Chiefs. We've been ****ing up bread sandwiches since February 1970........

Washington, Miami, Seattle.

I'm sure the usual tripe that ESPN loves to rattle off. Miami, AZ & WASH

I'm guessing he goes to Miami

Peyton Manning?

Peyton Manning

Why do you guys think the Chiefs will sign Manning.

They're not even in the stratosphere.

I love how Miami is instantly the front runner for Both Manning and Flynn.

And AZ?

Gimme a break.

Seattle? No.

They have 0 weapons for Manning to work with.

And the NYJ couldn't afford him.

That leaves the Chiefs, Miami and washington....I guess.

He is not part of the tree...

These talking heads crack me up...why on earth would he go to any of those?

Makes zero sense.

I stayed at the Stratosphere once. The first 2 rooms they put us in were trashed, so eventually they gave us a grand suite at the top. It was pretty nice. It's on the shitty part of the strip though.

We had to walk a long way to get to the MGM Grand to see Lewis Black. It was quite a journey.

One cool thing about the Stratosphere is the roller coaster at the top. Very fun.

If you like thrill rides, it's up there!

PEYTON MANNING WILL BE A CHIEF YOU C***SUCKER!!!!!!!!!!!!!

He will be in KC for a workout within 72 hours of his official release.

He's not coming here.

I think talent wise, the Chiefs and Dolphins are the only two that logically make sense. Both have weapons on offense, but our defense is better than Miami's IMO. I can't see why he wouldn't want to come here, seeing as if he goes to Miami he would be in Brady's division.

INTO THE RED!!!!

If he does visit they better not let him walk out of arrowhead without a contract!

Interesting, I am guessing if Peyton does become a Chief, Cassel will be released?

Evan Silva ‏ @evansilva
Free agent QB market is, um, top heavy. 1) Peyton Manning 2) Matt Flynn 3) Kyle Orton 4) Chad Henne 5) Alex Smith 6) Jason Campbell.

LMAO

So Cassel is 7th?

The ball is snapped. Lucy has it placed, laces out. Charlie makes his approach....

AND OMG SCOTT PIOLI RUNS THEM BOTH OVER IN HIS H3!!!

RT @HISNAMEISMOE: Am I the only one who can see Peyton Manning in a Seattle uni? ... I can too. 1 Mia, 2 Wash, 3 Sea, 4 NYJ, 5 Az, 6 KC

I wonder how close SF and Alex Smith are on a new contract...?

:hmmm:

I could see SF a better option for Peyton if for some odd reason Alex Smith was released...

**** Fatty. Arizona can barely afford their own dicks, much less Peyton Manning

Miami and KC seem to be the best chance for winning..imo

He isn't gonna play in the same division as his brother.
Scratch Washington off the list.

The Jets are a mess of shit.
Scratch them off the list.

Seattle and Arizona are both in the NFC. Peyton is an AFC guy.
Scratch them off the list.

This race is between Miami and Kansas City.

So obviously that equates to....

Not sure what Peyton has in mind. But Cardinals have a coach committed to the pass, an elite WR, two talented RBs and improving D

And also

Too lazy to photoshop him in a Chiefs uniform, but you get it.

I don't understand the NYJ bullshit. They don't have the cap space IIRC, and AZ would have to get the deal done almost immediately so they could cut Kolb before his bonus is due.

Fat ****ing chance.

Lacanfora just brought up the Chiefs right now on NFL network wuwu

Or, if not Henne...

SAY HELLO TO YOUR 2012 KANSAS CITY CHIEFS STARTING QUARTERBACK!!!

La confora just saying Miami, kc, wash, nyj and Seattle

Details... :whackit:

He said the fins will get first shot at manning cause he has a house down there with his family.He said the chiefs MIGHT go after him.

You're Peyton Manning. You have a Super Bowl MVP under your belt. You're about to turn 36.

Do you play for Kansas City, where the food is good and the fans are passionate, or Miami, where there are no state taxes, kick ass beaches, and great weather, minus the occasional pesky hurricane.

Do you want the Chiefs, who are loaded with young talent and have a coach that seems to be universally loved by th eplayers, or the Dolphins, who have talent, but are starting over from scratch?

Decisions, decisions.....

He said he doesnt think the Chiefs are commited to Matt Cassel and he cant be the qb there forever or something like that.

Peyton Manning better not take his talents to South Beach.

Someone contact the god damn best Leawood real estate agent in the business and get them on the horn with Manning. RIGHT NOW.
If he wants a golden toilet with a baday that shoots Fiji water in his ass, you MAKE IT HAPPEN.

Been saying for a while no two teams more desperate for a QB and a face of the franchise than MIA and WSH. AZ, SEA, KC, NYJ may get in, too

Going to steal this!

Can't believe people are putting jets and skins in the mix. Manning is not going to the same market as his brother and he is not going to play eli twice a year and deal with the media bs that comes with both these scenarios.

Jets don't have the cap space and would Peyton wanna deal with that messed up HC and locker room? Doubt it. The Jets talks is ****ing reeruned.

Arizona would have about a week to get Peyton in and signed that way they could cut Kolb before his bonus is due. Don't see that happening either.

Seattle has shit for offensive talent and their HC is Pete Carrol.

So yeah, that leaves us and Miami.

Keep in mind, Manning can be as particular as he wants with his suitors. It'll be all about getting a ring ASAP. I'd go MIA if had to guess

Jets make zero sense, he won't go to NY anyway and take away attention from his brother

Manning will want to be reunited with Ryan Lilja.

Dolphins are closer to a ring, really?

AFC West is dogshit as a division, with him here we'd be guaranteed a playoff spot

Central Time Zone means that Peyton gets off work an hour earlier on Sundays.

Can you imagine the jersey sells if he signs with KC?

By coming to KC, he can overshadow Ryan Leaf's legacy in the AFC West.

Ya I have no idea what the infatuation from the media is with Miami. I mean their team is talented but are in a lot tougher division than KC.

Peyton Manning is a fan of Eric Berry because he's a Tennessee alumni. I'm reaching here...

Into The Red and Outta the Blue.

KC, like Indy, is another small market team that Manning thrives in. Manning likes the Middle of the U.S.

Think about it.

Tennessee, Indy....KC....It only makes sense.
