Pretty good points that I generally agree with.
The fact that he wouldn't be in the same Division as the Patriots to me stands out. In order to make the playoffs...you want to win your Division. Hence why I think Divisions like the AFC West and NFC West would be appealing. Although playing outdoors in a cold weather city might be a deterrent.
Chiefs hold a pretty high draft position so they should be able to address the right tackle position there. Also with their cap space, not only could they add Peyton, but they can make a play for a guy like Carl Nicks too if they desire.
Another thing is that Kansas City and Indianapolis are likely very similar in terms of media coverage in the city. I always hear how Peyton has a very different personality from Eli, and that a low key media market is perfect for Peyton.
That all said, I think Miami and Seattle will be the two teams who make the strongest pitch. Miami I suspect will concede the most to appease Manning as I suspect they view him as something they need. Whereas other teams it's more of wanting him than feeling they need him. There will be risk involved, and I think Miami will be willing to shoulder more of that.
