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. |

Stupid. Sure the franchise tag was alot of money, but it wasn't keeping the Chiefs from signing players or pushing them to the cap limit. Why not see if the guy can do it when he's not surrounded by a team that went 18-1 the previous year? If he had it you could sign him in season or directly after. Now if he doesn't get it done your stuck with another shitty contract. Just a risk that didn't need to be taken at this point IMO.

Pioli went 'all-in'.
Hope he's right; willing to give him the benefit of the doubt after 20+ years of a Cluster F at this position (sans the Green years)
