At the moment this is just one radio report that hasn’t been confirmed elsewhere, but PFT's Mike Florio points out it fits a growing narrative that the Chiefs’ interest is real. ... Meanwhile, SI.com's Peter King advised his Twitter follower this morning the Broncos “desperately” want Manning. ... On ESPN, meanwhile, insider Adam Schefter suggested that the immediate and circus-style media coverage of Manning landing in Miami after his release by the Colts may have affected the free agent QB’s outlook on playing for the Dolphins. Citing people who know Manning, Schefter reported that the helicopter chases were jarring.
