LOS ANGELES -- For more than a decade, a three-ring royal blue binder labeled "Peyton Manning" sat on the office bookcase of Los Angeles Chargers general manager Tom Telesco.
Telesco grew so accustomed to seeing the binder on his shelf, he stopped seeing it at all.
Inside, Telesco had penned meticulous notes during his time as the Indianapolis Colts' director of player personnel. He had a front-row seat as Hall of Fame general manager Bill Polian orchestrated two contract extensions with Manning while also finding a way to field a Super Bowl-winning roster around his quarterback.
