For all the people that "boo" Elvis...

The St. Louis Post-Dispatch is reporting that Kansas City Chiefs and QB Elvis Grbac might reach an impasse at the end of the season. Grbac is due a $10 million roster bonus on March 1 and if Grbac continues his torrid pace, he just might leave KC. The fans in Kansas City have been overly critical of their signal caller ever since he signed with them. During the Chiefs home opener against the Indianapolis Colts, the KC boo-birds were out in full force and they were not afraid to voice their displeasure over his performance. Now that Grbac is tied for the NFL lead in touchdowns with 10 (should be 13 TD’s since he has had 3 interceptions returned for scores) the boo-birds have been caged up. Grbac's deal was designed to reward him if he excelled this season or make him easy to trim if he falters.

So in essence, if he turns out to be a great QB, and gets the signing bonus, but because of the cap, KC can't pay him, the deciding factor to leave or stay in KC would be based on people "booing" him for making common mistakes that every other QB in the league makes. Sounds fair to me, but I sure don't think I would like to see it happen.
