Chiefs Contract Offered? This guys says so. - Page 3

kc rush · 03-09-2012, 09:57 AM

The Kansas City Chiefs apparently are not wasting any time in their pursuit of Peyton Manning.

The team that took on Joe Montana in the twilight of his career is apparently hoping for the same type of short-term revival with Manning, as radio host Brandon Spano reports, citing a source, that the Chiefs have already prepared a contract offer for the quarterback who has been on the open market less than 24 hours after officially clearing waivers on Thursday.

Of course, the Chiefs have plenty of competition for Manning, and it remains to be seen if the interest is mutual. But the Chiefs are apparently being among the most proactive of the Manning hopefuls.

Eh, I'm wanting to say that was a Ravens writer, not a Titans one. I know there's a non-local writer that is generally about 3 days ahead of Teicher and the rest of the Star hacks.

This is the guy you're thinking about https://twitter.com/#!/ravensinsider

He's damn near always right when it comes to the Chiefs.

Athan was on later heard spouting this same exact shit.

This is another baseless Athan rumor being spread by a poor fool who's never experienced the idiocy of Athan.

If it was Athan, we'd know. This isn't the type of shit he would let other people report. He'd be on top of his house screaming it making sure everybody knew he was the one reporting it.

Nick pretty much keeps this stuff private on WPI these days.

I want to hear Claythan tell us this is true. If Wendler says it's gospel then I will believe that Peyton is the chosen one.

He nailed that Steven Smith thing.

Looks like a good follow; pretty quick on news as it breaks (not necessarily as much a prognosticator as I remembered).

Thanks.

Teicher's response

Don't worry though...if we do sign Manning, Teicher will "break the news" 2 days after it's announced

Damn...that's a great way to make sure you don't actually have to actually do any legwork.

"Now now, fellas; don't believe anything you read"...

{watches ESPN...waits until 24 hours after deal is done}

"CHIEFS SIGN PEYTON MANNING!!!"

The Star blows these days.

Teicher must not have gotten that bright red fire truck when he was a kid under the tree, & or he shot his eye out (in mid air) with a Red Rider BB gun.

I've made a point of avoiding the manning threads, for the most part...

If the Chiefs do get Manning, there's going to be a lot of contented WAGs from CP that night.

Same here. It’s been fun to watch though, I haven’t seen the Planet this worked up in years.
