Vegas42…that’s an issue. Cassel will NOT be a UFA in 2010 if they don’t redo the CBA. As it stands now, players with 5 years of accrued service ARE UFAs. In 2010, only players with SIX years of accrued service are UFAs.

Definitely wait until he plays some during the season before you do a contract.

Cassell plays out the year in KC, Orton plays out the year in Denver. After the season, Cassell (I think) becomes an UFA, and he and McDaniels get to have their reunification in Denver….

KCwolfer,
What does sales of his jersey have to do with whether he is signed long-term or not?
You do realize that he is under contract to the Chiefs for the 2009 season, right? And that as such, he will be required to wear a team shirt while competing?????

When the trade between the Pats and Chiefs was announced (actually about 24 hours after the announcement), when everyone was wondering why the Pats traded two players for a mere 2nd round pick, I heard a radio report (yet never heard it repeated) that suggested that there was a ‘conditional’ pick also involved in the deal in the form of a 2010 pick. At the time I figured that the ‘condition’ had to do with whether or not the Chiefs were able to sign him long-term. Might it be that a deal has been agreed upon in principal between Cassel and KC, but the Chiefs want to get into the season, and see a little more from Cassell BEFORE they are committed long-term AND give up a future pick to the Pats?

The Cassell deal HAS to already be inked because the Chiefs website is already selling his jersey…. #7 to be exact! WORD! AWWW, SNAP!

Cassel’s agent probably isn’t going to want any deal less than what Matt Stafford got, which makes sense since he has actually done something in the NFL, and the Chiefs aren’t going to want to pay him that kind of money since he has only done it for one year.

Sounds like a deal for the Chiefs if they just keep the one-year deal. They get him for a whole year for just $14.65! Who pitched that deal, Billy Mays?

They are hoping he tears his ACL and than Tyler Thigpen steps up and leads them to the glory land. Hey it could happen.

Chiefs are smart to NOT lock him in long-term.
He had one good year, no doubt about it, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves.

the best part about this story is the backtracking of the Bradshaw story. If you follow it back through several links it takes you to January 2007 (two years ago) when in one note it mentions:
It’s still not clear whether Packers quarterback Brett Favre a/k/a Lord Favre will finally retire after four years of talking about it.
Well we’re now up to 6 years and the idiot still hasn’t made up his mind.
I’m betting he’s going to be 50 and he still would try to convince the Lions he can finally get them to the playoffs.

While doing the Jumble in the daily paper, I noticed Matt Cassel can be rearranged into Scatt Masel.
This is dangerously close to Scott Mitchell, which is probably the best the Chiefs can hope for with the team they are assembling.

No sign of a Cassel yet, but they plan on building Al Davis’ soon.

It would be smart for the Chiefs to wait until the middle of the season if not longer to make the decision to give him “Tony Romo” type money.
I have a feeling Matt Cassel is going to be the next Scott Mitchell or Rob Johnson.
By taking away NE’s defense, Randy Moss, Wes Welker, the rest of that offense and giving him the KC offense and team should really give Pioli a chance to see if Cassel has the goods.

I think the Cheifs will cut Cassell this month and trade for Culpepper and build for the future.
