hondo in seattle Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 So Cassel throwing the ball and Shady running the ball behind an improved line in a Rex Roman offense? Combined with a Top Ten ST unit and a Top Five defensive unit. Life could be worse. I'd still like to see us acquire another offensive lineman or two, and a TE. Btw, Cassel's career QB rating is about the same as Orton's and higher than Sanchez's. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dave mcbride Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 (edited) Yeah. I wanted Moore. But didn't want Hoyer or Sanchez. We need a vet that can handle the ball and get it downfield. Cassel went 6-14 in the 1994 LLWS, and his team won it all. So he has championship experience. Edited March 4, 2015 by dave mcbride Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Acantha Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Cheap ish @JaySkurski: Matt Cassel has one year left on his contract at $4.75M. That leaves the #Bills with $12.833M of cap space to take into free agency. Won't be much left IF they are trying to sign Hughes as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sojourner Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 cassel was a likely cut, and has 1 year on his contract. id be shocked by "3rd or 4th at the worst" and think we are looking at a 4th as the highest. Given what we traded for Bryce Brown and Mike Williams, would a 3rd or a 4th shock you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

klos63 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Why give up draft picks when he is no better than FAs out there? We could use those picks to get linemen to develop. I am not liking this move much. Hopefully, the picks are below round 4. Maybe the Bills think he is better then other FA's out there? And it's no guarantee that you will sign the FA you want.

The Dean Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Meh. I'm fine with it--depending on what draft picks they gave up. I actually think I prefer Cassel to many of the other options that were/are available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 As I said in the Cassel thread... this time last year I was quite keen on taking him as a FA to compete and back up EJ. I think this kind of tells you what they are thinking.... there is going to be a competition for this job and EJ is going to be part of it.

DC Grid Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Too early to say season over, fire Rex? This is INSANE. Trading ANY picks for Cassell. This may be the worst move I've ever seen.

eball Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Not thrilled or mad. Better than Sanchez or Hoyer. Not good not horrible. Yeah, better than McCown. These were my first thoughts exactly. Would still like to see Moore or Locker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Wagon Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 it may be correct as if this second, but lots of shoes to fall. Restructure shady, cuts, etc. When I was playing with the cap simulator, cutting Rivers and Chris Williams and restructuring Mario got us up to just under $40 mil of cap space. Obviously there's a lot of shoes to still fall, but I'm wondering if he's incorrectly looking at Shady's $12 mil number instead of the $9.25 mil number to start with.

Gordio Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Stop comparing anyone to Orton. Orton played like he was half retired last year. At least Cassel can throw deep, wants to compete to be a starter, and will try to win games instead of saving his body for retirement. Orton can kiss my a$$.

DallasBillsFan1 Posted March 4, 2015 Share Posted March 4, 2015 Not a fan of Matt Cassell. I'm not sure what to make of EJ ... I wonder if 1BD know he is a bust. I say start EJ unless he has a horrendous camp and come to a determination one way or another on him. START EJ! IN the meantime, draft a QB and keep fingers crossed.
