Chiefs sign Matt Cassel to multi-year contract
http://chiefsblog.kansascity.com/?q=node/855
By KENT BABB The Kansas City Star Kansas City has the player it sees as a potential franchise quarterback, and now the Chiefs have Matt Cassel locked into a long-term deal. The Chiefs have signed Cassel to a multi-year contract, a source told The Star on Tuesday. Terms of the deal have not been released, although the team is expected to announce the deal today. Kansas City acquired the 27-year-old Cassel in March when it traded this year’s second-round draft pick to New England. The Chiefs also acquired linebacker Mike Vrabel in that deal. Cassel had signed a one-year, guaranteed contract earlier this year with New England – the Patriots tagged the quarterback their franchise player before the trade – that would have paid him upward of $15 million for the 2009 season. Cassel, a seventh-round draft pick in 2005, took over in Week 1 last season for the injured Tom Brady after the former NFL MVP suffered a season-ending knee injury. Cassel started 15 games, and New England won 11 contests in 2008. |

I dunno. At first I thought it was imperative that the Chiefs sign Cassel long term right away. However, as the months have passed and the economy has tanked, I started liking more and more the idea that the Chiefs should just pay him for one year and see what he's got. If he'd proved to be the real deal, they could then offer him the big bucks. If he didn't prove to be the real deal, they could cut their losses and let him go. And, as a lot of people are thinking, if Cassel only has a so-so year due to the new schemes and the talent level around him, the Chiefs could've lowballed Cassel and said, "Well, gee, you didn't do really great, so howzabout we offer you a few mill per season"?

We're still not sure that he's the starter.

Of course, it all depends on what the contract is. If they managed to talk him into a reasonable contract, that's different. Gotta see the numbers.

Does this mean they won't go after Sanchez?
