KC one of three teams in deep talks with Manning

[Quesadilla Joe]

Top destinations appear to be different than national media thinks. KC, Denver, Washington, have all been in the deepest talks with Condon

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?

Based on limited info and sources at this time, these are my Manning option rankings: Dolphins, Chiefs, Broncos, not in that order.

Denver is not a realistic option. They're being used as leverage if anything. They have no weapons on offense.

Do you think Peyton wants to deal with that kind of drama?

You're John Elway. You've been dealing with Tebow mania for a year now. You know you can't bench him. The fans would revolt. You'd probably have to trade him, but no one's going to give you anywhere near the value you want for him. Do you really think he's going to want to deal with more drama?

You can argue about which team is better suited if you'd like. I think KC is set up better personally, but you could make an argument either way. But the off-the-field landscape out here isn't anywhere near as good of a fit as it would be in KC.

(And for the record, I don't think he's going to either Denver or KC.)

KC is definitely set up better that Denver but don't think for a second that Elway is some Tebow guy. He isn't at all.

found this @ SWDC:

Peyton tells Redskins thanks but no thanks according to PFT.

Quote:
“A couple of different sources inside the organization have told me that Manning’s camp made it pretty clear to Redskins officials he doesn’t want to come here,” said Russell. “… There’s lots of reasons for that. His brother Eli, the colder weather, the whole situation down in Miami and so on and so forth. But unless that changes — and I’m taking my sources at their word — I don’t think Manning’s coming here to D.C.”

this post also said he was golfing with Dan Marino in South Florida today.

take if for what it's worth.

yea, but i don't think that works in this situation because Manning is looking at other things. I imagine ever team is willing to give him a good contract. Manning is in control and wants certain things besides money.

Manning doesn't fit Shanahan's offense imo

He doesn't want to roll out or run bootlegs

[ShowtimeSBMVP]

Peyton Manning - QB - Colts The Washington Post reports the Redskins began the "early stages" of their pitch to free agent Peyton Manning on Thursday morning.
Despite a report from ESPN 980 Washington that Manning doesn't want to play for the Redskins, the team is "determined to make a strong effort" to sign the quarterback. Sources also tell the Post that Manning's contract was structured to give him the advantage of negotiating a new deal before quarterback-needy teams find other solutions in free agency. Expect a signing by early next week.

Think you can pencil Washington in for Tannehill if they can't get RG3 then.

yeah that too.

the Redskins have too many things working against them.

they really botched the Mcnabb issue and
the monster one being Eli plays in that division.
