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.

Your point was that Orton would be cheaper THIS season had we just cut cassel and signed orton. You were wrong and you're wrong about cassel.
