The news of lingering neck problems that eventually would result in season-ending surgery for Peyton Manning first arose via a couple of Indianapolis radio hosts. And so it’s fitting, we suppose, that the first semi-concrete report regarding Manning’s next destination would come from a Kansas City radio host.

Bob Fescoe of 610 Sports writes via Twitter that he is “[h]earing” the Chiefs and agent Tom Condon “have spoken twice” about Colts quarterback Peyton Manning, and that Fescoe is “told” the financials are a “good fit” for the Chiefs.

Technically, no team may talk to Peyton or Condon until the Colts release Manning. But tampering happens all the time at this time of the year, and it becomes nearly blatant at the Scouting Combine in Indianapolis.

Manning makes sense for the Chiefs for various reasons. They have more than enough cap space, a relatively strong defense, a great young running back in Jamaal Charles, and competent receivers (who’d look a lot better with Peyton Manning throwing the passes). Last year, even after Charles, safety Eric Berry, and tight end Tony Moeaki were lost early to torn ACLs, the Chiefs pulled it together and nearly pulled off a second straight AFC West title.

The fact that the Chiefs play in the AFC West would make Peyton’s path back to the postseason easier than elsewhere.

With the AFC West teams playing the AFC North and NFC South teams in 2012, eight or nine wins will likely once again result in a playoff berth. Apart from the Ravens (home), Bengals (home), Steelers (away), Browns (away), Falcons (home), Panthers (home), Buccaneers (away), and Saints (away), the Chiefs play the Bills in Buffalo and, yes, the Colts at Arrowhead Stadium.

And so, 19 years after the Chiefs acquired Joe Montana for a late-career second act, it’s time to add the Chiefs to the list of teams that possibly could provide Peyton Manning with a place to chase another Super Bowl title. Or two.

Chiefs will probably be dumb enough to trade for him instead of waiting it out.

There are some serious hurdles for Manning to get over to even consider this....I truly hope Pioli doesn't get to enamored with the idea of Manning if his isn't back to normal.

KCUnited · 02-23-2012, 04:27 PM

Florio is the one that got burned by Pizzagate, I'm surprised he's rolling with Fescoe again.

I don't understand the hesitation to land one of the best QBs of this generation.

He'll have to pass a physical with the Chiefs. That's obvious. So relax about that part.

But lets say the worse possible thing happens. We sign Peyton. He plays 1 game and isn't healthy and gets hurt. Big deal. Then we're right in the same situation we're headed in right now with Matt Cassel.

It's not like they would hand Peyton a 5 year deal.

Just keep in mind it's either Peyton "Freaking" Manning or Matt Cassel. That's all you need to know.

I don't see anything really exciting in this report. I'm sure Condon has probably had "a couple" of conversations with every QB hungry team in the NFL already. Nothing new here IMO. Could be presumption on Fescoe's part.

siberian khatru · 02-23-2012, 04:33 PM

Any team with a potential QB opening would be stupid not to call Condon and ask:

1. What are the medicals looking like?
2. What kind of money are you looking for?

That's just due diligence. Doesn't mean you're in hot pursuit, just means you're keeping the bases covered. I would HOPE that Pioli would do that bare minimum.

The difference is the Chiefs are one of the few teams in a position to offer him what he is looking for.

BTW pizzagate was Danny Parkins.
