Even if you ignore that he's getting back paid for those 2 years, 17 mil/year is still a good price as by 2017 he will middle of the pack in cost when compared to other QBs.

Look at how much other teams like Chicago and Detroit are paying for train wrecks like Cutler and Stafford for $17/mil year long term in current NFL cap terms... the Chiefs got a very, very fair deal.

Are you insinuating that Alex isn't a trainwreck? My how a couple of recent wins wipes folks memories. Need I remind you that just a few weeks ago Alex was out dueled at home by one of the train wrecks you mentioned in your post?
