Why was it so imperative to give him that contract at that point in time? Why did we give one of the most penalized CB's last year who is a descending player in this league seven million a year and letting a younger ascending player walk?

yep ... giving Cassel that contract early was Pioli's biggest mistake, by far.
2nd mistake was hiring Goonther Haley
other than those two mistakes Pioli has done a solid job
