All the firepower is on a plane to RDU. Including the Money guys.

If they don't have offers that are locks ready and on the table these guys might just flip them off.

That's what concerns me. These guys come out here expecting to meet with key people....and they're all gone. It's insulting to them.

Your time leaves an editional three hours for meeting with Manning, for five total, if they don't come back until 7:30. 7:30 isn't too late either. Take them to dinner after the defensive staff works them out.

No way they have a 2 hour window to land, meet, then get back to the plane. They'd spend 90% of that 2 hours just en route.

Elway and Xanders wouldn't do that. Manning wouldn't do that to the franchise.

Denver would very much do that. Remember who your talking about.

Manning is probably just enjoying the ego stroking after being told by the Colts that they didn't want him anymore.

Schefter, and therefore is law.

Or they realize they're going to look like the biggest jackasses in the league if they don't get this, so nothing else really matters to them.

Not possible. Despite you not being in the league, you're actually quite a bit bigger jackass than anyone on the Broncos staff.

Yep, because let's face it, if they don't get Manning now, a Trufant or McClain isn't going to matter much in the end or make people say, "ah, no Manning, but at least we signed that beast Trufant."

Is that supposed to make sense?

What's with the reports that the EFX crew was at shanahans steakhouse last night celebrating like crazy? John fox being quoted as saying " tomorrow will be a good day"?

I don't think they would be celebrating a workout?

1. The flight also doesn't take a full three hours.

2. What is the distance from the airport to the workout place? I'm a little worried if you know this.

3. I added another three hours for them to get back in time for dinner.

They wouldn't send contract guy Xanders for a workout, either.

[Steve Sewell]

Wouldn't be surprised if Manning came back on the plane. Like people have said, Manning wouldn't waste the time of the entire front office if the Broncos weren't the #1 team at this point.

All of the Tennessee fan tweeting is absolutely hilarious. Some of them have openly hoped that the plane crashes into the Smoky Mountains. Its almost like they think Manning is an 18 yr old high school kid deciding between Alabama and the Vols. Pathetic.

Sounds like a bull**** story from the ground up.

Because they aren't going to be beamed to the meet place. 30-45 minutes travel to work out spot. Getting clearances for flight plan , etc. 15 minutes.
They aren't taking the plane to the meeting place, and landing in the parking lot.

At best they make it back by 700P. If that happens its because PM is with them and they are picking him up, or he tells them no in the first Hour, and asks them to leave.

Fox saved a ton of money by switching to Geico. Big day.

Brian Xanders says "I love you"

My friend works there and the gang was really there. As far as being in "celebration mode" or anything, that's just conjecture. I should note that Xanders & Fox go to Shanahan's at least twice a week.

Manning wouldn't decide who got on the plane and who didn't to watch him work out.

Funny, because that story came out 2 hours before the story that the team plane was flying for a workout in Raleigh. So... yeah...

I know you REALLY want to believe that we won't get a hall of fame quarterback so your precious Tebow can stay on and magically get to 50% completions, but come on. Maybe the story from Shanahan's is bull****. But it sure jives with everything else that's come out since.

Funny Vic isn't being nearly as cocky as he was on Sunday.

If true, why wait until today to fly? If true, why send the staff instead of just a plane to pick him up? I call B.S. on the steakhouse story.

You still are giving them 4-5 hours there, at the meeting, for them to get back at 7...

Sounds like it's right up there with the team facility Peyton smile analysis we had going earlier this week.

I cut steak better than Xanders.
