Manning had the choice to sit out a year and play for whom ever he wanted.

Seems fair to me..

Me, too. It wasn't about money and he had been up front with them that he would not play for them before the draft. The Chargers got a lot for him so it would seem they all were happy.

Most of the boos came from Charger fans which is understandable.

Only if he went undrafted next year; a team retains rights to their draftees for the year. Bo Jackson sat out a year, but was drafted by the Raiders the next year. Manning would not obtain free agent status unless no one drafted him, an unlikely scenario.
