When Im also honest with myself, these things bother me.
Prob 28 Mil of cap GONE
36 years old
Hasnt played a down in over a year(The physical/fast game has changed)
He has got to be gun shy
Any team would baby him hit wise, til regular season
Hes not great in the cold like Roth or Brady
If he goes down, then what?

I love this guy for the guy he once was but man, it seriously could be over. Im totally hip with signing Orton, going after Nicks, Tolbert and a few others. This and long term deals make more sense to me than Manning. I think as Chiefs fans I like alot of people wanted to be "recognized" on ESPN nightly for having Peyton as our coverage would be nightly. I feel like we deserved something FINALLY but if he goes down in Denver, and I love the guy, man what are they going to do. At least its not going to be our problem.

Yeah, plus we don't need a guy that is going to come in here and call our kicker an idiot.
