There is no logical reason why Manning would sign with the Broncos. They lack WR's... their idiot fans would still be chanting for Tebow... he would be playing outdoors in the snow where it's hard to breath... they have a couple of bright spots on their DL, but that's about it.

"I'm not supposed to talk about anyone else's players and he's still a player with Indianapolis," Crennel said. "But with a talent like that, I would be crazy not to consider it if he were available. I'll leave it at that."

How many times have we heard that from our beloved Chiefs about a player though?

You've made it clear that you don't think he's coming to KC so there is no point in discussing it.

we'll just have to wait and see.

Completely absurd.

If the Chiefs offer the most money, is Tom Condon going to turn the Chiefs away because of Matt Cassel?

No freaking chance.

I hope I'm wrong. Trotting out Matt Cassel out there in September when Pioli had a chance to sign Manning would be serious fail.

If Manning said he wants to go to XXXX team then Tom Condon is going to get him to that team ... period.

Absolutely, but I think Condon is going to play poker to get him the most money possible as well.

He's probably still pissed at the Chiefs, heh. Rightfully so, most likely.

This is an interesting point. I'm not sure if it would help or hurt our (or any team, for that matter) chances of having him land here. Litening to his presser, he got pretty choked up talking about the good times in Indy, and he made a point to say how he appreciated everyone in the organization, all the way down to the equipment managers. It would be curious to hear his take on potentially facing his team again THIS season.

agreed, but unlike many players/agent relationships I think Manning is really the one in control of the situation.

Manning will pick a team and then condon with have a certain about of time to squeeze for money. I think Manning will want to get it done early so he can help design the offense etc.

**Mr. Kotter** · 03-07-2012, 01:41 PM

FWIW, a colleague mine who's a huge Colt's fan and follows the team closely, says he is 80% sure Manning will be wearing a Chief's uniform next year.

He's basing that on all the talk during the last 3-4 months, as well as his impression of what he thinks is the best "fit" for Manning given his years in Indy. Don't know if it really means anything, but he's been right a number of other times in his hunch about all things Colts. Guess we'll see...
