Really, Orton did too. He wanted to be in Chicago. But he settled for Dallas. Orton didn't even wait around and see how the FA market played out to see if he could compete for a job. He went straight to Dallas and signed to be a backup. I've yet to hear anyone anywhere give a reasonable explanation for that. Yet we continue to think otherwise, a year later now.

I'm pretty sure the CP source was dependable. I apologize that I don't remember the exact story. But it sure sounded to me like Orton left because he knew the Chiefs had a boner for Cassel.

Carr... who knows. You can chalk up the Routt signing to the idea that Carr was out the door. Or maybe Pioli was just ****ing stupid. I still think it's the latter more than anything. I could see Pioli lowballing Carr then celebrating victory because Routt signed for a few less pennies.
