That is more than a boxscore, that is just a plain NFL football fact. And Cassel will cost $80 million over the long haul while Thigpen is playing for the league minimum. Meanwhile, KC has the league's most pathetic defense and invests a mint in a backup QB. Nice.

They haven't invested a mint into anything...yet. The Chiefs are $57 million under the cap and have to spend a large part of that to get to the minimum.
I am not a huge fan of Cassel but Haley loves him and we are apparently going to run the same type of offense he ran in NE so he could only get better.
