@RapSheet: LeSean McCoy got a new deal after his trade to Buffalo. Expectation is Matt Cassel gets a similar sort of multi-year deal (not the same $)

Really, we're not going to give him the same kind of money? Shocked.

WHY

Posted (edited)

Makes sense to me since he's a FA next year. Don't want to be in the vet backup market again. He would already know the offense.

Same reason. Lower the cap hit a bit while locking him in for another couple years, structuring it in a way where the final years are virtual team options.

He is terrible

Also, because he's a distinct possibility to be our starter.

I'm not thrilled by him either, but clearly the Bills think otherwise. That said, I don't think they are locked into him as a starter.

Absolutely it's a possibility. And it's a possibility that he has a good year, which is another great reason to extend him now for cheaper just as an insurance policy.

I'm having a tough time figuring out why the #Bills want to extend Matt Cassel.

  1. @JoeBuscaglia lower his base and cap hit

@RapSheet I get that, but it would surrender their flexibility to walk away.

  1. @JoeBuscaglia what if he’s good though?

www.google.com

just googled it, Cassel has 8 career 4th quarter comebacks. Manuel has 7 career wins. Counting his mop up appearance against the Jets last year as a win for him.

Okay. Here's what I found.

 

15 games, EJ - 236/437 58.5% completion, 2810 yards, 6.43 YPA, 16 TD's, 12 picks, 4 fumbles, 31.05 QBR, (just averaged both years QBR's, couldn't find it cumulative) 78.5 career passer rating

 

13 games, King of the Castle - 194/325 59.6% completion, 2232 yards, 6.87 YPA, 14 TD's, 13 picks, 3 fumbles, 38.8 QBR, 80.1 career passer rating

 

So besides 1 more pick and two less TD"s in 2 less games, where does EJ have better numbers? Enlighten me
