Not sure what this has to do with the Chiefs, but if Bill Self leaves for the NBA anytime soon, he has shown a lot of potential with his time in Tulsa. Could be a potential replacement for Self if that happens.

We have Eric Berry and crossed fingers at the position - we should be bringing in anyone with a pulse at this point.

I've seen just about every game he's played as a Texan and he WAS good when first signed and played well early on, but he's been in serious decline ever since.

I don't know that he can make it back to anything resembling what he was before the injury - and as I said, he was in decline then. At this stage in his career he doesn't offer any upgrade over what we have on the roster. However, he is a very good guy to have in the locker room and could provide leadership to teach the young guys. He is a consummate pro and a class act. Problem is he thinks he can offer more than that and wants more money than he's worth. The Texans would have kept him had he agreed to a pay cut - he didn't so he got cut. I'd pass on him.

Yeah we kept K.Lewis with all the + intangibles, but he hurt us on the field. This is not different. He used to be decent player, but that is gone. Pass...

I have never been overly impressed with D Manning. This would be an "eh" signing IMO.

EDIT: Texans | Danieal Manning releasedMon, 31 Mar 2014 10:40:03 -0700The Houston Texans released FS Danieal Manning Monday, March 31, according to a league source. The Texans had asked Manning to restructure his deal to reduce his salary cap hit last week. Manning's agent said his client was willing to take a pay cut, but not at the level the team was asking for. - See more at: http://www.kffl.com/player/13478/NFL....r5RBoQmP.dpuf

Yep. I just listed the end result without going into much detail. It is good that you noted that he would have agreed to a pay-cut, just not as much of one as the Texans wanted. He's not a "me-guy". He's a good team player and consummate pro who now has diminished skills.

As said in another thread - if you lose your roster spot to Kendrick Lewis, it speaks volumes.

He's old and his salary was at $4.5 million. He refused to take a paycut. That's why he's gone.

Remember, as the Texans new DC, Romeo Crennel is involved in the decision-making process so your point loses some thunder.

You'd rather have Manning? Or Byrd?

Every team needs a few JAGs to perform, and Abdullah did when called on. He's not gonna win us a playoff game, but Daniel Manning ain't either.

I'm perfectly fine with Abdullah if he beats out Commings for FS or backs up FS or SS, provided we are looking to draft a FS > JAG to get ready. I'm not in the camp that I magically expect Commings to be > JAG.

He wanted out of Houston because there aren't any Village Inns here. He has a 5 dollar coupon he needs to use.
