The Facts:
Following up on the
ongoing story. ... If you find the pursuit of Manning exasperating, a full week after he was cut by the Colts, it could be worse. You could be one of the teams trying to sign him to a contract. A league source tells PFT that some of the suitors for his services are tiring of the process. As the source put it, at least two of the remaining teams in the chase are getting "worn out," but they are putting up with it because the prize continues to be, well, getting Manning.

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
And while Peyton's financial expectations always have been regarded as a secondary matter about which there would not be much debate once he knows where he wants to play, PFT's Mike Florio is that money is a bigger factor than previously believed. Florio went on to suggest the fact the list of suitors went from 12 to two or three -- then jumped back up to as many as six on Monday -- could be a sign that agent Tom Condon was looking to bump up the price. For now, the list of candidates is back to four. Remember: By Friday at 4:00 p.m. ET, the Cardinals have to decide whether to pay Kevin Kolb another $7 million. And the Dolphins run the risk of losing out on Matt Flynn, their apparent Plan B. ... So stay tuned. Manning might be forced to play his hand before then.
