10:06 AM ET 09.25 | It feels like just yesterday that former Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel was the toast of the town in Kansas City and the recipient of a six-year, $63-million contract. Now some fans want Cassel, coach Todd Haley, and general manager Scott Pioli out after the season. By the end of this season, Cassel will have collected about $40 million on his contract. He's more cuttable in 2012, when his cap charge is $5.5 million, than in the final two years ($7.7 million and $9.2 million).

Wow! How the Chiefs have fallen this year. I would venture to guess that Pioli and Haley will be "cut" along with Cassel.

Chiefs fans... Who replaces Haley if he's fired during the season?

I have a hunch it's coming.

If they keep going the way they are and end up with the top pick in the draft they'll garb Andrew Luck and dump Cassell. Looks like the Chiefs miss Charlie Weis more than anyone could have predicted...

Weis is an outstanding coordinator. As a head coach, not so much.

It seems most players who get the big payday are never as good as they were before the contract. There needs to be an incentive clause in every one.

Yup...

He doesn't play defense.

Neither does anyone else on the Chiefs.

Add to the mix the season-ending injuries to Berry and Charles and you have one hell of a mess.

They posted a story about McCoy in Cleveland if that sounds more interesting to you.
