7 Reasons Kansas City is a possible Landing Spot For Peyton Manning

Im not sure exactly how much money we got I tried to post some things to help figure it out like websites that have chiefs contracts but didnt have the time or all the contracts to figure it all out so gave up. From what I hear they got 30 million to spend.

bowe will probably want what 8-10 million a year?
carr would probably want what 6-9 million a year?
we have to resign albert next year, yea we might save money on other guys contracts personally I think dorsey and jackson should restructure there contract, even though im hearing jackson is stepping his game up finally. Dorsey should be traded to be honest im a fan of dorsey but not blind to believe one of my favorites even before the start of the 2010 season when he was projected a top 10 pick allan bailey takes dorsey’s job cause he is a beast in the waiting.
I think we need a guy like solairi NT and odds are he costs a pretty penny.
thats not counting other players we need seeing how many Free Agents we have this year.

people say we got a ton of money but dont forget we got a ton to spend on players we need also regardless.

I doubt peyton would still get a contract like he currently has or does that have to be honored if he is released? odds are he takes alot though to get do we really got it? Does anyone really got it? odds are if he wants to play he has to take less so basically its on peyton to make his choice where he plays.

rumors of him going to the jets, why wouldnt he eli is in the same stadium in new york and its the big market that archie wanted eli to go to so badly.

good stuff here, Aaron … but it seems like “7 reasons to justify why you want him” instead of “reasons for him to come here” … if you get the distinction

not that I don’t understand your passion for the guy, one of the best ever, hands down … I just see too many obstacles in the way and a lot better use of Hunts’s money than investing a ton in Manning

we’ll find out in time where he goes, but I’d just as soon re-sign Orton, re-sign our own Free Agents, maybe 1 or 2 other FA’s out there, and lock it all up with a killer draft where we finish the OLine and add quality depth in 4 or 5 other places

good post though :-)

Troy Aikman was in the same denial 11 years ago, he is done. I have an immediate family member in the medical field who has said since last summer he is done but yet all we heard was “when Peyton comes back”.

The only part of this I agree with is see what we have with Ricky Stanzi.

The two have a connection. Even though Saturday is 36, he would be with Manning until both retired. It seems like a Pioli type move too. We could then move Hudson to guard and solve that problem on the line. We could also take a crack at Reggie Wayne or Garcon as well if Bowe is not resigned. I think both won’t be back in Indy next year. Baltimore West, Kansas City Patriots, Kansas City Colts? Wow. That would be a dream scenario.

Was in better shape when we got him than what Peyton will be. And hell no to Jim Caldwell even being a janitor for the Chiefs, he failed as hc in college and was undressed quick once Peyton left the field.

There is nooo chance of the Chiefs getting Finley, just FYI there

You look at the Cardinals, Jets, and Dolphins and they have talent like ours (although I think we have more talent). But, our division is so weak right now a home playoff game would easily be attainable. I can’t see him playing in the same division as the 49ers or Patriots. A dark horse like the Texans could make a play, but hopefully Manning doesn’t do it since they areva division rival of the Colts.

With matt Schaub and TJ Yates, plus Manning is done.

Judging from the fact that BEFORE he went in for his 2nd and 3rd neck surgeries Peyton Manning had already been medically cleared, I don’t think we can trust anyone that says he’s medically cleared to play football.

Manning isn’t looking for a landing spot in so much that some team is preparing a place for him to crash and burn.

1. Weapons aren’t really an issue for Manning. He’s made the guys around him better. Half of those players in Indy disappeared without him. This isn’t a selling point for him.

2. Romeo Crennel has been a nemesis to Manning throughout his career. Manning would rather beat Crennel than play for him.

3. There are plenty of towns without major paparazzi. But let’s not forget that Manning hasn’t exactly shied from the spotlight over the past few years. This would have been a much better argument about 10 years ago.

4. If the Chiefs do land Manning, it’s going to cost them a ton of money. That kind of an acquisition is likely to make us a little more tight with cash when it comes to other players. Especially considering we still have some key contracts of our own to deal with.

5. That’s a long shot, and really unnecessary. Peyton has run the offense in Indy for years. This would be nothing more than a familiar face. But with his time in the league, Peyton already knows most of the guys in the league.

6. Will Lilja be protecting him? The consensus seems to be that we need to upgrade that spot on the o-line. Has there been a mock offseason scenario on AP that didn’t include a new LG? Even Pioli has said they need to work on the o-line.

7. Like you said, that isn’t convincing for Peyton. He could get the same situation with a number of teams. Some of which will be Super Bowl contenders with him (Jets, 49ers, Texans, Titans).

I know it’s a glamorous move, but I just don’t think it does enough for us. We still have no idea if he is even going to be healthy (or play for that matter).

Clark Hunt will not spend that kind of money. We have been talking about the amount of extra money that the Chiefs could spend for two years now, and next year we will be talking about how much they NEED to spend to get to the salary floor, which does not kick in until 2013.

Expensive
Broken
Zero track record of grooming rookie QBs

5 hasn’t happened yet, and may never will. I can’t imagine Ryan Lilja is going to make much of a difference. I don’t think we know what he makes of Romeo Crennel.

The only reason Peyton would want to come here would be if he thinks this is his best shot of winning. And I have a hard time thinking we’d be ahead of the Jets in that thinking. Its not impossible, but its hard to see to be honest. I think we’d be ahead of like Washington or Oakland, but behind the Jets in his order of preferences.

Kansas City is a hell hole when it comes to the weather. The man played his entire NFL career with a home stadium that was a dome. That includes when they had home field advantage in the playoffs. That is a big change and I don’t see him making it. I mean your talking half your schedule at least could be raining or snowing or just all around cold

I appreciate the time you took to present your thoughts and how you laid them out in a manner that was easy to read.

Kudos!

Why do people have a fear of drafting a QB in the 1st round? Why do we need another retread at QB? Even if the guy was healthy , he has what, 2-3 years tops. I just don’t get it
