Kansas City Chiefs owner Clark Hunt, in an interview that will air on “CNBC SportsBiz” on the NBC Sports Network at 7pm ET tonight, acknowledges his interest in having Peyton Manning as the next signal caller for his team.

“He’s one of the greatest players in the history of the league,” Hunt said. “He’s also an incredible person. We feel really good about the team we have in Kansas City going into the 2012 season, but we’ll look for any opportunity to improve and, of course, that includes Peyton Manning.”

Last night, Denver sports talk radio host Brandon Spano tweeted that that “the Chiefs were the ONLY team to offer a completed contract to Peyton Manning today.”
