Source says Cassel to be cut now
 

Just listening to the radio (Petro) and during the sportscenter update, they said according to an "NFL source", Cassel will now be cut.

IF true, the chiefs still need a qb no? I'll be shocked if they don't move back up into the second to get the best QB available.

Alex Tanney: Start throwing balls into trash cans 50 yards away!

It doesn't matter. We've just traded for his clone.

Is his source "common sense"?

I should be happier about this.

Lucky bastard, he is rich and doesnt have to suffer through 4 more years of shit...

SOC time again...

I didn't think anything could dampen my joy at the news of Cassel being cut. Boy was I wrong.

Petro said Cassel would be cut AFTER MARCH 12TH.

If the trade is DONE, why wouldn't they just cut him now?

Only the Chiefs would make a QB move that makes me get zero enjoyment out of cutting Cassel.

Same date as the start of FA?

Why cut Cassel he had "ONE" good season like Alex.


Should keep Cassel and saved our 2nd rounder

No shit.

Casshole to the Raiders.....pleeeeeeeeze....

Cassel isn't getting cut. We're giving him a different jersey.

I can't get excited about this, nor make the video I was planning to make, because of Alex Smith.

Why are we cutting him? Shouldn't we be able to trade him for a few second rounders now that Andy has set the market?

Adam Schefter‏@AdamSchefter

Look for Matt Cassel to be one of the quarterbacks on the Cardinals' radar. Cassel also will receive interest from other teams.

The bum is dead! Long live the bum!

We can cut Cassel now and it doesn't change anything.

The only reason to wait is because the deal for Smith isn't done.

Meet the new bum. Same as the old bum.
We won't be fooled again.

Who the hell is going to be our backup QB?

Alex Smith. He'll back up the guy the Chiefs draft in the 3rd round.

So ask for a 4th round pick for him or are we that stupid?

rep

Stanzi?

Tough crowd eh? So i'm wondering as I'm out here half way across the world and been keeping up with the Chiefs. What was the best viable option for the Chiefs to do this year? People are bitching and complaining about getting Alex Smith, and granted he's not the next coming of Lenny D (another QB we got in a trade and didn't draft ourselves), but the dude did lead the 49rs to the playoffs in 2011 after actually getting some stability in a offense.

People say he has no long ball, but let's be honest in the games that the playbook was actually opened up to him he's put up over 300yd/game. He's got the intangibles to be a solid/effective/possibly good QB as a stop gap until we actually have the QBOTF in there.

We only gave up our 2nd (34 overall) which IMO coulda been kinda high as we had two 3rd rd pics, but that doesn't mean we still can't move back into the 2nd rd. So many people are quick to pull the trigger because we were getting f*6%$ by ***** for the past 4 years that they don't recognize something as not being bad.

I'm still not sold on Geno being the #1 pick for all you fools out there that say he should be that pick. If we can resign Albert and Bowe I'm all for getting Geno, that way we at least have a potential QBOTF that most would be happy with. But again, if he doesn't pan out then what?

Let's say we got Geno and he is a huge bust as It's blatenly staring you in the eye. Then it would have been the regimes fault for getting Geno and everyone who wanted him would have short term memory of how much they f*****g wanted his ass, but the blame is on the leadership, not the fans who carry axes and torches to burn down the stadium.

This is my first day joining the club, but I do look forward to seeing how this turns out. It won't be worse than 2-14 that's for sure!!

You draft another one. Rinse and repeat until you find a franchise QB.

Nope-we just traded for his clone. Rot in Hell, Clark.

What if the WR (Morris) you take does not pan out?
What if the LT(Jenkins) you take does not pan out?
What if the DL(Sims) you take does not pan out?

You can do this with every freaking position on the field. If a player does not pan out you cut him and draft another player at that position.

I live in Nashville, I watched the Titans draft Vince Young, watched him fail, watched Nashville cut Vince Young and watched them draft Jake Locker.

It can be done, you can draft a QB and cut him and draft another if he does not work out. Really you can.

Especially if you just went 2-14 and haven't won a playoff game in years.

At that point, what have you got to lose?

How sickening would it be for the Chief's fans if jerkoff Cassel goes to be a backup on a team and they win the Super Bowl and we suffer a 5-11 season???

That may be the last straw that makes me jump.....

Not in KC...we're nicer here.

I don't give a shit about Matt Cassel. At all.

ROFL

This should make me happy but I really could give a **** now with Alex Smiff on the team that just kills the mood.

Think of the children/Karen Kornacki

So why not trade him for a second round pick? San Fran just some dumbass team to do something very similar.

Dawson was signed as a free agent after being released by Cleveland.

COMPLETELY different animal.

And to add to this; the KC Chiefs have never, in the history of the franchise, drafted and developed a starting QB.

Forget the last 30 years since we last drafted a QB in the first round, never drafting and developing a QB in a team's history take serious dedication.

Just by the law of averages we should have stumbled upon one quality QB the KC drafted or even signed as a UDFA at some point.

This was going to be a happy day now a big stinky shit cloud will hang over it.

Because Dawson wasn't even worth a draft pick that makes it better? Thats good logic.

You completely misinterpreted what I wrote.
I'm not with this Alex Smith BS AT ALL.
Had we gotten him as a F/A though, I could certainly live with it.

Evan Silva‏@evansilva

On NFL Live, ESPN's Adam Schefter mentioned #Jets, #Vikings, and #Cardinals as potential suitors for free agent-to-be Matt Cassel.

Am I the only one who believes Kyle Orton is better than Alex Smith?

Nope. With you there.

That's tough. Orton has his moments, but he turns the ball over a lot and he's shit in the red zone.

How great would that be, if he ended up in Oakland and we can have semiannual Fail Fests.

there might be a few of you

Not even worth it. Cassel was effectively cut last season. This didn't have to happen in order for Hunt to have the cajones to do it regardless.

that is like bringing Quinn in to provide competition to Cassel

I love how nobody cares. All that bitching over the past 4 years and this is it?

We just traded for his brother. We can't celebrate this now. It's like he's not even leaving.

Other than Smith having a stronger arm there's very little difference at all.

Funny thing is...Cassel would be a fabulous backup. I'll bet he would've even stayed for a huge pay cut.

Reid and Dorsey thought they were 'in tune' with the fan base. They probably can't believe we're pissed even though Cassel is getting cut.

**** that. He needed to go.

Man **** this franchise. I hate that I can't stop being a fan in moments like this. It's like I just keep coming back for that hit of meth even though I know it's going to make me feel like shit and make the rest of my teeth fall out.

That makes two idiots. Orton? Get the hell outta here with that bullshit.

Nononononono. Matt is not even NFL talent. Couldn't even start in college.

I thought I'd cheer the day when he was cut. Now I don't give 2 shits about it.

Yes

"Source says Cassel to be cut now"

Why the **** is he still on the team?

Maybe they are hoping to trade Cassel. Even if it is for a 7th rounder it's better than nothing. The least he can do for the team that made him rich is to redo his contract so he is tradeable.

OK I'm asking for too much.

It's "now" as in "now that they have Alex Smith..."

I know, I know...Just please go, Matt.

We cut the 40th best QB and we traded away our future for the 30th best QB. How much joy should I take for cutting the 40th best QB and getting no compensation, and giving away the farm to get someone marginally better?

Actually, I'd be happier if they cut Alex Smith on March 13th.

Please find some desperate team to trade CAssel to. We have to get something out of him now that we got raped by the niners.

You can afford to cut Cassel now because you have 2 Cassels

Bashing Chiefs players is so last year.

The in vogue troll move is to try to convince us how good Alex Smith is. Need to get with the times.

Nah, hell with it, I could never come up with the good troll posts that actual fans of the team has :thumb:

I just wonder if Alex was good last year because the 9ers were just a great team or not... Matt Cassel looked like a world beater on the great Patriots team too...

He will probably be ok with some good protection

Nice jujitsu move to praise Alex like a true troll. You're learning.

I actually had a green belt in Judo when I was a kid

From Arrowhead Addict's Facebook page:

This has to be one of the stupidest posts I have ever seen here EVER.

30th best QB?! ... Really?!

:shake:

A grilled cheese sandwich maybe?

He should go to the Vikings. After all Matt helped KC get their stadium rebuilt.

Percy Harvin for Kasl mayhaps?
