Though many experts considered Miami the early favorite to land Manning, he never had them as his priority.
A source close to the situation said Dolphins management had to enlist the help of Dan Marino just to secure a meeting with Manning.
The Dolphins' brass did not deal with Manning directly and was frustrated last week when it could not pin down a meeting with him through his agents at Creative Artists Agency (CAA).
With the clock ticking, the Dolphins asked Marino - their legendary former quarterback and a golfing partner of Manning's - to please call him personally and try to persuade him to meet with the team.
While Manning flew to Tennessee, Denver and Arizona to tour their facilities and meet with players, coaches and executives, his meeting with the Dolphins on Monday was conducted in his hometown of Indianapolis, and with only coach Joe Philbin and other members of the coaching staff present - not Ireland or Ross.
