KC one of three teams in deep talks with Manning
Top destinations appear to be different than national media thinks. KC, Denver, Washington, have all been in the deepest talks with Condon
https://twitter.com/#!/BrandonSpano/...43365159026688 Posted this in the Manning super thread but thought it was thread worthy. It would be nice to stick it to Shanarat and the Donks, amirite? |
Could this be possible? Denver will make me puke!

If he goes to Denver I will go ape shit

Peyton Manning in Denver? With Tim Tebow? Posted: 03/08/2012 01:00:00 AM MST By Woody Paige The Denver Postdenverpost.com Woody, Peyton Manning?--Jerry, Irvine, Calif. Jerry, that sure is a point-blank, open-ended question, and I intend to write a column about the Manning issue for The Post's print edition and website today (Thursday) or Sunday, depending on the fluid development, but I'll give you, and you only, the sneak preview. Manning's agent is Tom Condon, who played for a dozen years in the NFL as an offensive guard and has been called the most powerful agent in sports. He represents at least 14 starting quarterbacks in the NFL, including Peyton and brother Eli, Drew Brees (who has just been franchise-tagged), Matthew Stafford, Matt Ryan and Alex Smith. Condon is with CAA (Creative Artist Agency). Guess who has joined him in that association? Memphis-based agent Jimmy Sexton, who represents, among others, Phillip Rivers and... wait for it, wait for it... Tim Tebow. OK, that's a back story. Here's a front story. From my sources very close to CAA and the Broncos, Denver (presumably John Elway or Brian Xanders) will contact Condon immediately to see if there is any interest in the quarterback coming to Denver. But, if you followed the back story, agents don't like to put their quarterbacks in the same city. So, for instance, if Manning came to Denver, there would have to be movement of Tebow somewhere else. Now, the main story. Despite all the screaming and hollering on radio shows about the Broncos and Manning, he's not coming here under any circumstances, especially since Condon is involved with Manning and Sexton with Tebow. Let's face it. The Broncos wouldn't be a Super Bowl team next season with Manning or Tebow with that schedule they face. Manning, according to my sources close to him, wants to play for a team with a genuine chance to get the Super Bowl next season. He prefers a dome (he has won more than 70 percent of his games in a dome), a team with good offensive talent in place (including a solid offensive line), a team with a good defense, a team in the AFC, a team willing to sign a couple of his close associates (receiver Reggie Wayne, for one; center Jeff Saturday for another), a team willing to let him run the show and make calls on the field, and a team willing to give him a lot of guaranteed bonus money and a contract longer than one year. He wants a lot. He'll get it because a recovered Manning is one of the best in the game, and a team won't have to give up draft choices or veteran players to sign the free agent. The teams he will narrow the choice to are the Dolphins (no dome, but warm weather), Arizona (dome), Houston (dome), Washington (no dome, but the franchise wants him bad, and Shanahan did get to the Super Bowl with two other quarterbacks -- Elway and Steve Young), the New York Jets (Condon, I believe, represents Ryan) and the 49ers. I think the top four choices will be the Dolphins (on the upswing at the end of the year, and they are drooling for him to come to south Florida, where he won his only Super Bowl against Chicago), and they have a new coach (from Green Bay) and plenty of money, the Cardinals and the 49ers (who obviously have strong Super Bowl possibilities) and Houston. I'm going with the Texans, who already are a playoff team. Gary Kubiak is noted as a strong QB coach (because he played the position behind Elway and because he coached Elway and Young with Shanahan and has coached Matt Schaub who was on the way to the Pro Bowl in 2011 before getting injured). The Texans have a world-class running back and a world-class wide receiver, an excellent defense if they re-sign Mario Williams and a good offensive line. They have an indoor-outdoor stadium, an owner with money, and they play in the same division as the Colts, so Manning is familiar with the Texans, and would play twice against the team that let him go, and wouldn't have to be in the NFC playing against his brother or, as he would with the Dolphins or the Jets, playing the Patriots and Tom Brady twice a year. The Texans could move Schaub for a draft pick and have the money to pay Manning, and Manning wouldn't be far away from his parents, who live in New Orleans and Mississippi. The Broncos? It doesn't work for either side. So, people can clamor all they want, but it's not going to happen for Denver. Deal with it :hmmm: |
Brian Billick just said KC would be best place for him based on surrounding talent.
Please please please! |

And here we go...
|
The only reason Denver is mentioned is the media. They love Tebow and they love Peyton, so why not include them in the same story?
|
Peyton can't play at altitude on a steady basis in a place called Pile High.

It's always going to be Elway's town. KC will always be, well, George Brett's town? |
If its those three, you've gotta like our chances....
- Washington is in Eli's division. Tony Dungy already said Manning won't play in Eli's division. - We are in better shape, roster-wise, than Denver. Plus, the Tebow factor will ruffle many a-feather. |
Am I the only person with a normal-sized forehead who thinks the demand to sign Wayne and Saturday is both kind of wacky and unbelievably presumptuous?
FAX |
I don't want him here in Denver, and I don't think it'll matter if he goes to KC.
|
I still think $ will play a part in it because Condon is his agent,but it's looking like KC and Miami are the lead dogs so far.Gotta watch for that snake in the grass though!!!

I thought Condon and Peterson couldn't stand each other. That could cause problem for Miami if I am remembering correctly.

Yeah it sounds pretty ridiculous. Maybe Saturday is going to also be the OLine coach. Wayne would also be the WR coach. It could help get Mannings offense going quicker where ever he ends up. We certainly need OLine help but we don't need Wayne at all. |
I'm going to go out on a limb and say that Peyton Manning isn't in deep talks with a dogshit team in his brother's division.
I'm going to go out on another limb and say that a nice, respectful, aw shucks sumbitch like Peyton Manning is giving about 0.0003% consideration to the idea of going to the Broncos and ripping the rug out from under a nice young feller like Tim Tebow. I'm going to go out on a third limb and say that if Peyton Manning was in deep negotiations with Scott Pioli, the last person on Earth who'd know about it would be Brandon Spano of MileHighSports.com. |
How about using Manning as the QB and Tom Tobow as the Halfback? Tobow could take a direct snap and throw it, Manning could take the snap and hand it off to do a halfback pass, or Manning could hand it off to Tobow, or Manning could ignore Tobow.
Oh wait, that won't work because Tobow can't throw. Soo, maybe if Manning goes to Dungver then we can sign Tobow to compete with Castle. Heh. |
Maybe its just me....but isn't it a bit insulting that Kansas City isn't getting any more coverage on being a landing spot for Peyton?
To me, it's either Miami or Kansas City. Everywhere else has a square peg trying to fit into Peyton's round hole. |

j/k man. I gotta say, I am a bit disappointed in his failure to bring in a legitimate QB. Let's hope he rights the ship this offseason. |

I think the Jets is a great fit. Excellent defense which he has to be craving, good Oline and solid running back with S.Greene but other nice synergies in that Tom Moore is there as a "offensive consultant" and it fits well for family with his brother being in NYC. Jets would be the favorite to win the Super Bowl assuming he is really healthy. |

I wouldn't say he never has done anything. I like the roster and I agree alot of the the young players he didn't draft, but he did retain them. He could have let DJ, hali, flowers, etc walk. He did not. He kept the core together and added more players. |
Peyton Manning to KC.
Print it. |

After moving $19.8 million of remaining cap dollars over from 2011, the Chiefs have $34.1 million of room. Subtract about $9.4 million for the franchise tag given to wide receiver Dwayne Bowe. The Chiefs already have said they have interest in bringing in a quarterback to compete against Matt Cassel. Signing Manning would end any competition, but it would excite the Chiefs' season-ticket holders and bring a buzz to the franchise. the bold part is why he ends up in KC. it's not gonna be up to Scott Pioli it's gonna be up to Clark. |

He would relish getting to play the Pats twice a year while having a good defense that didn't require him to have to put up 30+ points every game to have a chance to win like he always had to do with the Colts. As for that team being dysfunctional, keep in mind he will be leading that entire team from day one. He will command respect and will receive it from everyone. I think the Jets and Chiefs are the two spots that make the most sense for him. Hope it is the Chiefs but Jets make a ton of sense. |

Truth is, if they want him in KC, we will get him in KC.

but he might not want to 'stick up their ass twice a year ....' as you say. LMAO |

It's how bad they want him and whether or not Manning thinks it's a good fit. |

However, I think the chance to play Brady twice a year, every year, might be attractive to him moreso than I did before... |

I don't see why people think the Jets are such a great place for Manning. Their locker room is a total mess. They have a couple of head cases over there. I doubt he would want to have to deal with this type of stuff. He would also be losing to or taking sponsorship away from his brother.

i wouldn't think Manning would want to go to the Jets unless he just want to be in New York and is willing to put up with Ryan's shit to be there. |
Goddamit, we are so freakin' close. Come on Scott!

Word on the street is Pioli is checking to see if Manning is interested in being Cassel's back up.
