Report: Chiefs and Cassel reach long-term agreement
Football Betting Lines
07/14/2009 - Kansas City, MO (Sportsbook Betting Lines) - The Kansas City Chiefs reportedly signed offseason acquisition Matt Cassel to a multi-year contract on Tuesday.
The Kansas City Star reports the Chiefs plan to make a formal announcement on the quarterback's extension this afternoon.
Kansas City traded a second-trade pick to New England earlier in the offseason in exchange for veteran linebacker Mike Vrabel and Cassel, whom the Patriots slapped with their franchise tag following his impressive 2008 campaign. The 27-year-old was expected to earn $14.651 million this season.
Cassel made a name for himself last year after taking over for an injured Tom Brady in the season-opener. He helped the Patriots to a record of 11-5, including 10-5 in his 15 starts, but New England did not qualify for the playoffs.
A seventh-round pick of the Patriots in 2005, Cassel threw for 3,693 yards with 21 touchdowns and just 11 interceptions in 16 games. He had thrown a total of 39 passes in his first three seasons as Brady's backup.
In addition to his backup status with New England, Cassel was also the backup to a pair of Heisman Trophy winners -- Carson Palmer and Matt Leinart -- at Southern California.
