He did the same length with each team, this is not out of the ordinary. He stayed the longest in Denver in fact, covered 2 days.

Heres what everyone knows at this point: 4 visits, same structure, and zero idea who he signs with.

I think you're right. Damn, NFL Network made me get a little too excited lol. Hopefully we get a decision by tomorrow.

Like I said before, I am expecting the decision to be anytime around 12 pm to 4pm(at most 8pm) tomorrow

As AV pointed out, that's about what he's spent with other teams, and if you break it down, I can see 6 hours going pretty quick. I've been on a few stadium tours and you can kill 2 ours like it's nothing.

Here's kinda how it could have gone. Interesting read on how they but this "book" together on the franchise to sell him:

Just me speculating but you kill two hours showing him the facility and introducing him to staff and coaches. Maybe you break and have dinner that can eat up and hour, hour and a half easy, considering his father played for the Oilers, I'm sure they shot the sh!t for a while. Then they break out the presentation on the organization top to bottom, and everyone in the room speaks from the GM, head coach, president, etc. That's another hour, hour and a half.

Then he probably met with the offensive coordinator, wouldn't surprise me if they went over a fair amount of film and just talked top to bottom on their philosophies, how the offense works, how it would work if he came there. Next thing you know it's 6 1/2 hours later. And I don't even know what part the physicians played in it, whether he was examined, or if they just looked at his medical records.

You guys are reading into news too far. Nothing he does is going to tip his hand. He's doing what he did with every team. We could speculate how he threw the ball with stokley in Denver, but we just have no idea what he wants. Any team he picks between the three can make a compelling case.

Apparently after 8 hrs with the Titans Manning's camp wants it known that he is still willing to meet with other teams.

Sounds like he wants to try and increase his leverage is all IMO.

You know what? Screw that. He has these teams like Denver and Arizona on hold waiting for him. He goes and shuts down teams like KC, then says that? Man, make a decision.

Seriously, cards have to decide to cut kolb or keep him by the 11th and if he doesn't make a decision by tomorrow, the Cards will have to be out.
