Mike Reiss (Globe) In a very twisted way, Matt Cassel owes teammate Bernard Pollard a debt of gratitude:
A source close to Cassel has confirmed that Cassel has agreed to a six-year deal with the Kansas City Chiefs, who are now run by former Patriots vice president of player personnel Scott Pioli. The source said that the deal pays Cassel top five quarterback money.
Update (2:50 p.m.): The source has confirmed, as first reported by ESPN, that Cassel's deal is for $63 million over the six years, $28 million guaranteed.
Michael Hunt (Milwaukee Journal) Brett Favre needs to stop messing around:
It’s not that he’s reportedly put down a $30,000 deposit on a condo near the Vikings’ training facility. Or that his pal, Minnesota offensive coordinator Darrell Bevell, got back not long ago from watching Favre stretch out his arm down in Mississippi.

Way too much.
This is a huge investment and a big risk for KC. Better them than the Pats.

At least he's actually played a year in the NFL.
When you compare his contract to some of the deals these rookie QBs get (Matthew Stafford, for example), I’d rather take my chances with Cassel. Besides, he was going to make $14 million guaranteed this season. For an extra $14 mill, he’s locked up six years total. Considering the Chiefs are way under the cap (the last time I checked, anyway), it doesn’t seem like a bad idea to frontload Cassel’s contract, in my opinion.

agree with you babe
i would’ve signed him for at least a 3 year deal to see how he performs on their team.
