No, I simply don't believe that. You'll have to come up with a better source than Chris Mortensen or I'm never going to buy it.
I'm quite certain Belichick took the best offer he got - meaning the Broncos etc. didn't make an offer or it was less than the pick they got from KC. Plus, Cutler couldn't have been traded without Bowlen signing off, and he had not been told yet so it couldn't have been more than preliminary.

I was pissed when Pioli traded for Cassel, but that was nothing to the meltdown that you would have seen from me if he had tradeed for Orton.
You guys are ****ed.

The biggest difference between Cassel and Orton is the price tag. $15 million and a pick. Orton costs next to nothing. If the Broncos have to go a different direction, they can do so with no picks lost. And the Chiefs may be the only team that wouldn't be handcuffed by Cassel's contract.
Most importantly, I fully believe McDaniels can get the most out of Orton like he did Cassel. How much that is remains to be seen.
