Kansas City Chiefs: Top ten potential GM candidates

Kansas City Chiefs Top GM Candidates #10
Peyton Manning: Unemployed
I am begrudgingly including Peyton Manning on this list for the Kansas City Chiefs. I don’t think it will happen, and I don’t want it to happen. However, I will be harassed for days on end by people if I don’t include Peyton Manning on this list. He is unqualified and has no ties to Kansas City or the Chiefs organization. I do this under protest.
With that said, let me tell you why this could happen…
Throughout his time in Indianapolis and Denver, Peyton Manning has been a part of his respective team’s decision making. For much of his career, Manning had a voice in what players were going to be invested in for the offensive side of the ball.
Most of the talk about Peyton Manning these days revolves around coaching. However, in the wake of the Colts firing Ryan Grigson, Manning was a popular replacement candidate. He eventually advised he didn’t feel ready for that kind of role. However, you never know how things might have changed since then.
