Condon also said there have been “zero negotiations” between the Colts and Manning.
Condon, who represents many of the league’s top players, made a 255-mile drive from St. Louis to Indianapolis to deliver a very brief message that Manning does not want any distractions during the football season.
“Why did I drive all that way? Because we have a longstanding relationship,” replied Condon.
Why drive all that way? Because these things are delicate and you don’t want someone to get the wrong idea over the phone. Saying, “We don’t want to talk!” can be taken a lot of different ways. Showing up in person is an agent’s way of making sure the team gets whatever message is meant to be sent.
