Manning will meet with Munchak

Peyton Manning will visit with Tennessee Titans head coach Mike Munchak at an undisclosed location within the next three days, TitanInsider has confirmed.

Manning jumped onto the Titans radar on Sunday after owner Bud Adams contacted the Tennessean and voiced his desire to have Manning become a Titan.

Manning, 35, is a folk hero from his days at the University of Tennessee as a star quarterback, and for years dominated the Titans as the quarterback of the Indianapolis Colts.

Though the meeting location has not yet been revealed, if Adams is as serious about this as he seems to indicate, the meeting with Manning could take place in Houston, according to a league source. Also, Manning has a home in Chattanooga, as well, making that a possibility.

Tennessee’s main competition in pursuing Manning appears to come from the Denver Broncos, with whom he met on Friday, and the Arizona Cardinals, where he spent Sunday.

According to ESPN, Manning is also scheduled to meet with new Miami Dolphins coach Joe Philbin at an undisclosed location as well.

    • This whole situation is getting out of hand. Adams needs to let his front-office handle football decisions. If Adams ruins this team's development of Locker and inhibits the teams ability to sign Mario Williams then I may need to hand in my fan card until there's new ownership. The only way Adams can justify this gamble is if the team actually wins a Superbowl which is doubtful.

      I agree totally. QB is not where we need to get help. We have a good shot to really help this team with free agents but if it goes past tomorrow we will loose out. Time is very important right now. Didn't Mr. Adams learn anything from his VY directive?

      I agree, but Bud is calling the shots on this one like he did with VY.

      and ultimately fisher. I hope somebody in the front office has the courage to tell Bud this is not a smart move. Doubtful though. Expecting Mercilius or Perry to play relevant minutes could completely blow up in our face for the next two years if they end up like DM
