Rumor: Matt Cassel Is Going To Get Cut Next, Percy Harvin Too

[The Jokeman]

Yup. The odds of both TT and EJ going down in the same game are incredibly low, so the Bills can activate Simms from the PS the following game. No need to pay the 3rd QB $4.15M.

So you didn't think Taylor played well?

Because when your #1 and #2 QBs are making $883k and $2.4 respectively you can pay $4.15 for an insurance policy in case your unproven guys ahead of him don't perform. I mean think about it between Tyrod and EJ we have two QBs with 14 NFL starts, I'd imagine that's the lowest number in the NFL.

Have you seen Cassel's past 4 seasons?

Right!

Bang your head...for 15 years straight against a brick wall.

Everyone that thanked your post thought Tyrod Taylor was garbage back in March when he was signed.

Why? Because they're stupid and let their egos get in the way of logic and reason.

They have small dicks that can't be seen beyond their fat, obese stomachs.

Jaybird, you're probably fat as hell too.

Go eat another taco, or some Chinese food full of crap and special sauce.

I'll go on record as guaranteeing that Cassel is cut before opening day. If he makes it to next week, he'll still get cut before the opener & replaced by a late, cheaper, pickup off the scrap heap. There's no way they're guaranteeing over $4 million dollars for a 3rd stringer. They have to cut him before opening day, otherwise his salary is guaranteed for the season.
Now, if Cassel doesn't sign elsewhere, then the Bills can re-sign him later at a much lower rate after contract guarantees end. However, I'd bet NE signs him before week 2.

I know he's had a 4-5 record in two seasons with the Vikings. I also know the Vikings have next to nothing when it comes to WR talent in those two seasons and last year outside the season opener didn't have their best offensive player in AP. To me a QB is more a product of the players around him then a sole entity.

No Vic is reposting what other people think and then spinning a reason behind why Cassel could be cut. No reporting what so ever just speculation and conjecture.

[Turf]

6.5 million for Darius between the two. I think Harvin stays.

EJ is 6-8 as a starter without nearly the experience Cassel has, and had just as bad a supporting cast.

And if you were to ask me whom I want at QB it be EJ.

Then we're in contentious agreement.

[Mr. Pink]

If Simms plays well tonight, I think Cassel is gonna be gone.

[Albany,n.y.]

If Simms doesn't get injured tonight, Cassel is gonna be gone.

Fixed

So if Jackson was cut because $3 million was too much and his numbers haven't been great in the last couple years, then it seems reasonable to assume Cassell will be cut for over $5 million of cap hit for a guy whose passer rating last year was a poor 65.

IF non- fan favorite Cassell remains for a lot more money than the fan-loved Jackson, then Whaley's decision making process is questionable.

I'm completely in favor of Cassel getting the axe, but it's not quite the same scenario when you consider that we have an all-pro at RB in McCoy and other capable depth. Tyrod and EJ are still inexperienced unknowns. So there's more justification for keeping Cassel if they're not convinced they can just roll with Tyrod and EJ.

I do not want a journeyman vet on the team at QB... trigger on a young guy gets pulled too quickly. Live and die by the youth.

That's a good point. But I think we could probably find a LOT cheaper backup with PR of 65 than Cassell. He's getting only 2 million less this season than Russell Friggin' Wilson! Pretty high price tag.

I agree. I would much rather just go with EJ as the backup and keep a 3rd qb on the PS, and then just roll Cassel's salary into next years cap.

[HHURRICANE]

Can't they just get Cassel to redo his contract?

Nobody is paying him 4.5 million dollars.
