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 wouldn't say "mightily." He has a strong arm but just needs to learn to be a little more accurate on the deep ball. In his defense, Brady and Manning weren't great with the deep ball early in their careers either. Brady, I remember, worked very hard on his mechanics a few years into his career before he started to make that happen.

The only thing I hate about Cassel is he is wearing number seven. I hate the number 7 & who wore it in dungver. But if he can win us a Superbowl then that's ok and we can celebrate our own number 7.

The other point to consider is that there are going to be some big, big league QBs in the free agency market next year, like Philip Rivers.
So if Cassel ends up a success in 2009, he could become insanely expensive in 2010. Remember, we could have had Jared Allen for really cheap if Carl Peterson wasn't such a shit-bag--Allen's price tag skyrocketed after Dwight Freeney signed his contract. |

You really think the Chargers will let Rivers be a free agent?

Sure. It will allow them to draft Tebow with a clean conscious.
