I wouldn't believe that for a second. Why would that be leaked by the Chiefs or Manning's side? Makes no sense! How could you not bring him in and check him out before offering up a contract. That smells to me like a media guy fishing for a story. If Ross wants him you bring him in for a visit and have him tour the facility and the coaches and make sure there is a comfort level on both sides. To offer a contract without bringing a player in is ridiculous even if it's Manning. I call major BS on that story!!
