Unless we have traded it for a player like bolding or peppers. :hmmm:

I am thinking something got done. There is no way Poili lets this out right before the draft if he didnt mastermind something.

Never mind, I was thinking Stafford vs Cassel. My bad...

Stupid question, but is this an extension or a replacement contract? If it's a replacement, Cassel signed a 5-year, 21 million dollar contract? If so, that's complete chump change.

If the Chiefs have been leaking like a sieve the last week or so, I am going to go apeshit. The mole's head had better publicly roll.

He knows his strengths, weaknesses, work ethic, and opportunities for improvement. You can't discount that.

No doubt, that's why I'm in the middle, with a slight lean towards bad move.

The Chiefs have signed Matt Cassel to a new six-year contract with $36 million guaranteed, according to the National Football Post.
We're waiting for more confirmation, but KC seemed unlikely all along to keep Cassel in 2009 at his $14.65 million salary. The guaranteed portion is more than Matt Ryan's deal from 2008, but less than Matthew Stafford's.

Hmmmm...I don't think we know the whole story.

True, but the value of the pick would go up if the Rams don't take a tackle and the team would get it's choice of whichever tackle it wanted or if Sanchez and any tackle was there etc.

I wonder if his contract all along was contingent on how much Stafford got.

This could be true. It would explain the timing.
