Blah. What?

He was given a $5M signing bonus. His contract in 2012 is worth $900,000. His contract next year is $1.4M. Matt Cassel's contract is worth $5.25M, $7.5M in 2013, and $9M in 2014.

Orton is $650,000 more expensive today and $6.1M cheaper next year. Let's face it, the only reason Orton isn't a Chief had nothing to do with money. It had nothing to do with Orton being uncomfortable getting into a QB competition with Cassel. Why? Because Orton signed a cheap contract on a team where he would become the backup. This move had everything to do with the Chiefs refusing to admit that their shitty QB is in fact shitty.
