Stanton says "Turned Down Offer To Play w Chiefs for Jets?"
 
News to me but heres quote from espn.com

Stanton is said to be unhappy because he was promised the No. 2 job and turned down more lucrative opportunities with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and Kansas City Chiefs to play for the Jets. He received a $500,000 signing bonus, but he could have a hard time finding a new team because the backup jobs are filling up.

Well, Pioli has gone after Manning and Stanton this off-season. Who knows if he made an offer to Orton or not as well.

Maybe he is starting to sour on Cassel?

Codered 03-23-2012 09:29 AM

You'd think being Cassel's backup would be an attractive spot. The chances of seeing some playing time seems likely.

Micjones 03-23-2012 09:29 AM

Wait, you mean Cassel's not bulletproof?
Pioli's really trying to improve the team? Even at the all-important QB position?

No way!

Well he has a little bit of a big head. For someone who has done nothing in the nfl.

Brady Quinn...What the hell does this mean now when we both left to get away from Tebow with two different teams and we both end up here in KC? Kevin Bacon has got nothing on this Tebow Pyramid scheme beotches

What does the Jets recent signing of a fullback have to do with Stanton losing the #2 job?

qabbaan 03-23-2012 10:02 AM

Interesting. He turned down more money to go to the Jets.

So Stanton believed that Sanchez was more likely to be benched than Cassel?

All players want to play for Rex. As soon as they sign they get a complimentary picture of his wifes feet.

He knew there isn't really a competition here.

He was told he would be the #2 QB with no competition for the spot.

I guess KC told him he'd be competing with Stanzi and anyone else they bring in.

The Stanton Island dream is fading fast

which is the right answer. Stanton must not be very confident and realizes his limitations. I hope he is happy being a back up somewhere
