If true the Chiefs are staring down the barrel of a tampering charge according to ESPN's Bill Williamson. It's been reported that tampering is rampant during the Combine (and has been for more than a decade) and is largely overlooked. However, Manning may be the most coveted free agent in history. The Indianapolis Colts will be unlikely to look the other way and could ask the league to look into the situation. 

In an odd twist of fate, the Chiefs are also embroiled in another tampering investigation. The Detroit Lions have lost a draft pick and draft positions after actively recruiting current Chiefs players.
