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.

You know, looking at this years schedule this time last year I was pretty terrified. Now, I'm not sure we won't beat the Ravens and Steelers, don't know about the Saints tho.

this guy wrote this based on what Fescoe had tweeted? lol.

Fescoe.....lol

If there is one shred of truth to this, it has to give everyone of us hope. Even if it is only a sliver, it would mean Pioli is not the slobbering/drooling idiot that thinks Cassel is truly the answer.

AndChiefs · 02-23-2012, 04:19 PM

Just draft a real QBOTF to follow him this time.

Well crap.

O.city · 02-23-2012, 04:20 PM

Say we had this draft.

11. Trent Richardson, RB, Alabama
44. Coby Fleener, TE, Stanford
75. Bobby Massie, OT, Ole Miss
108. Ryan Broyles WR, Oklahoma.

And signed Manning, Soliai, and Bowe.

Where would that put us financially?

ChiefAshhole20 · 02-23-2012, 04:20 PM

And yet were not even in NFL32s top 5 teams likely to get him. ESPN has become such a joke...

Dayze · 02-23-2012, 04:20 PM

let's not jump the gun here boys... he still has to compete with Cassel for the starting job. Come at me Bro.

Impossible this year (or so it eye-poppingly appears).

Might as well get a badass QB now with this talented team.
