Via Sports Illustrated:
But what was so interesting about this is that Peyton Manning had a bunch of friends along the way, like one of his really good friends was a guy named Brandon Stokley, a wide receiver who played with Peyton in Indianapolis for a while and then he played in Denver. And so Brandon Stokley was living in Denver at the time. And basically Manning stayed with Stokley when he visited the Broncos on this trip. And when he visited the Broncos on this trip, the Seattle Seahawks and Pete Carroll flew to the airport right near the Broncos facility, even though Manning said he really didn’t want them to do that. And Manning didn’t go meet Pete Carroll. Pete Carroll flew to Denver chasing Peyton Manning and Manning never met with him. He got back on the plane and just flew back to Seattle. It was really kind of a crazy time.
Things turned out alright for the Seahawks. Carroll drafted Wilson and beat Manning in the Super Bowl.
