Solid backup.

Re: Bills trade for Matt Cassel

please.. he might not even have the ability to start on your team.

theres a decent chance, barring us making another significant move at QB, that they expect him to start.

I know the options out there aren't great, but I absolutely hate this move.

or push EJ to become better.. maybe that.

Cassel is a spot starter at best.

So you trade for Mark Sanchez's backup in college? Hmm

There's another 5 mill of cap space.

Re: Bills trade for Matt Cassel

Glad we didnt trade for him

the jets should trade for EJ. He's better than anything you have .

[Mr. Miyagi]

Re: Bills trade for Matt Cassel

He will be your starter.

I disagree. This tells me more so that he'll be our veteran backup and EJ is given every chance to take the job.

Buffalo might actually spend up to the cap for the first time since Derrick Dockery!

Kiko approves.

I'm on the fence myself, but I have to believe another FA QB will be brought in or a rookie QB will be drafted

3 QB Competition: Manuel, Cassel, ????????

Is that accurate? $5 million!?!?!?

So, we just spent $14.5 million- half of our available cap- on Cassell and McCoy?

**** this FO

Cassel's contract:

Fleeced by Fitz, fleeced by Orton, probably going to be fleeced by McCoy, now fleeced by Cassel.

BUF should trade for a C.P.A.

$4.75, That's what a backup QB with starting experience costs in the NFL. Pretty much the same as Orton.

I still think we'll add another $5+million dollar QB before camp starts.
