Why would Pioli base it on that? They aren't equal at all. Nor close.

Yeah it's all relative. In my book Cassel has about 2 years and Stafford and Sanchez have about three. I don't think Cassel can go out and bomb but it's obvious at this point he's going to be working without a net now that Gonzalez is gone. I'm not sure he's gonna go out and put up Pro Bowl numbers again until we have another year to rebuild the offense. I guess that depends on what kinda draft picks we make today.

Cassel is good right now. If he plays this year like he played by the end of last year the Chiefs will be fine

I don't know why. But the timing is suspicious. Stafford agrees in principle and Cassel has a new contract within 12 hours?

Who gives a **** if he's upset about it. its a team game not a me game. Pioli and crew arent worried about ****ing feelings. Look at Tony G, they said well later bitch if you dont wanna be here. They are getting paid millions. 300 lb guy and you are worried about his feelings? ok.

Oh nozes were doomed if Cassel is a one year wonder.

Please tell me that 36 isn't guaranteed...if it is we have the 2nd highest paid QB in the league.

Well, that at least makes some sense and is more probable than we traded #3 already.

But that has to be the dumbest negotiation ever if that's the true reason.

That would be ridiculously overpaying...

If it's guaranteed, I think I'm swinging more towards bad move than I currently am right now.

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.

Oh, no ****ing way. That's absurd.

It still doesn't explain why the Arrowhead is leaking information when it's been under the cone of silence until now.

:cuss:

My faith in Pioli's decision making is quickly eroding.
