THE DIRTY ARMY: (Boston.com) - Former Patriots quarterback Matt Cassel, who led the Patriots to an 11-5 record after taking over for an injured Tom Brady in the 2008 season-opener, has parlayed his one season as an NFL staring quarterback into a lucrative long-term contract.
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 has confirmed…that Cassel’s deal is for $63 million over the six years, $28 million guaranteed.
News of a long-term deal was first reported by the Kansas City Star.
The 27-year-old Cassel was scheduled to play this season under the franchise tag, which the Patriots placed on him following the 2008. The franchise deal was a one-year contract that would have paid Cassel $14.65 million this season. This new deal rips up and replaces the franchise tag contract.
He is the best quarterback to come out of USC, but he will fail hard on the Chiefs.- nik
Johnny Bravo says:
You’re half right.
Carson Palmer is the best QB to come out of USC, but Cassell will fall in KC.
Speaking of USC QBs, another big bust will be Mark Sanchez.
to Johnny BravoHal says:
was just going to say… carson will lead one of the best offenses this season
to HalQuovadis says:
I would love to know how many quarters of football u(NIK) have played on ANY organised level????? I quessing I know the answer is ZERO and im not even clairvoyant. I would love to hear the answer ….. Not expecting an answer
to Quovadiskansas says:
organised haha before you try to make fun of somebody. you should practice spelling the shit correctly! its organized fyi.
to kansashmmmm says:
They actually spell it organised in most countries besides ours- yes, there are other places outside of the US, I was shocked too.
to hmmmmskip to my lou says:
nik i love how you pretend to know what you are talking about. all you do is repeat crap you hear on espn. stick to talking about things you know…gay merlins and sand.
to skip to my louGod says... says:
I’d hit it.
to God says...Will says:
Towel heads (i.e. Nick) don’t know football
to Willhmmmm says:
He was referring to the Chiefs soccer team, don’t hold it against him, he still wipes with the hand he doesn’t shake with.
to hmmmmThe Truth says:
Better than Carson Palmer?
to The Truthe says:
He won’t do as bad as Matty, what a bust.
to eI say............ says:
Hey Douche Tard, few QB’s get thrown into the starting line up out of college and succeed right away. Yes this is cut and paste of just two. I can name many more. After being drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the third round of the 1979 draft, Montana sat on the bench behind veteran Steve DeBerg.Steve Young sat behind then 49er quarterback, Joe Montana, for four years. In the 1991 season after Montana was forced out by injuries, Steve lead the NFL in passing efficiency with a 101.8 quarterback rating his first year as the starter. He has garnered this honor in 6 of the last 7 years, and holds the all time highest NFL quarterback rating of 112.8 for the 1994 “Superbowl” season.
to I say............I wouldn’t count Leinart out at this point.
I say............ says:
No Nik, you’re a fool! He is not the best QB to come out of USC ,not even close. Several better QB’s have come out of SC. The problem is they HAD to go to crap teams. Kind of like a prearranged Persian Marriage of death. I know your office just has gays and airheads. Try employing it with club going, gun toting lazy purples who spend more time in court than on the practice field. Stay away from sports and stick to “would you” We both know you will never score with either of them.
to I say............Plaxico Burress says:
Understand the burn on Lineart but no way is he better then Palmer bro
to Plaxico BurressLOOT CAKES says:
Word is Cassell sports a baby arm cack.
Can the DA Confirm?
to LOOT CAKESwickedson says:
This is awesome. Go Chiefs!
to wickedsonso what... says:
if he does fail hard? (not saying that he will) He won’t have to worry about money or job security for the next 6 years! He’s set.
to so what...Johnny Ultralove says:
NFL contracts are not guaranteed. They can cut him at any time, and the party is over.
to Johnny UltraloveOnly the guaranteed money is guaranteed
25 lighters on my dresser says:
Nik, you are not a fortune cookie teller. So give me your apron and clock out, for you are fired.
to 25 lighters on my dresserStrider says:
With Tony G now @ ATL. Bowe is going to have a REAL chance to shine with a REAL QB.
to Strideryeah says:
Carson hands down – time will tell thought. Maybe Cassel will be a star, we have only seen him one season.
to yeahBB says:
Go Chiefs. I hope you are wrong Nik.
to BBha says:
Cassel is not better than Palmer you dumb f*ck. Cassel didn’t even do that great with the stacked offense that he had last year, he had a couple good games but other than that was very mediocre. tbh Matt would of done better
to haJohnny Unitas says:
carson palmer is, you Bozo
to Johnny Unitashmmmm says:
True, cason did well in his superbowl appearances.
to hmmmmDouche Bag says:
Did Carson go to a school that isn’t USC?
to Douche Bagbreezy says:
carson palmer is one of the most overrated QBs in the league
to breezyPats Girl says:
i cant waaaaaait to see Brady beat some Colt asssss this season!!!
to Pats GirlJoe Perez says:
I’m about to sign deal with Chiefs. If they end up giving me what i want I am going to buy the P & L and every nite will be Joe Perez nite. No more porch monkeys allowed.
to Joe PerezMackenzie!!! says:
water boys dont make the dollars you speak of
to Mackenzie!!!H-Town says:

to H-Townaj says:
nik, what does your club hopping ass know about football?
you just want to play quarterback to reach for the snap
to ajboston sucks says:

KC paid way to much for cassll. Funny thing is he is only good because the patriots taught him how to cheat. He is going to be a fluke. Patriots suck!
