Scheme fits for Peyton Manning (Matt Williamson)

2

Lists the Chiefs as his 2nd best fit among teams, behind the SF 49ers Kansas City Chiefs The Chiefs also would be a great fit. They could release or trade Matt Cassel while using a lot of free-agent and draft assets to improve their already talented roster. Of course, they also get some superb young players, such as Jamaal Charles, Eric Berry and Tony Moeaki, back from injury. As with the 49ers, Manning wouldn't be forced to do as much with the Chiefs as he had been with the Colts. Plus, Kansas City plays in a weak division. Adding Manning should make the team the clear favorite to win the AFC West, if not more. But, without a quarterback of the future on the roster, if Kansas City swings and misses on this acquisition, it could cost it dearly. Cassel is mediocre, and probably always will be, which could make the Chiefs too complacent in terms of finding a replacement or successor. It's time for them to be aggressive.
