Matt Cassel's four-year run in Kansas City could be coming to an end as the Chiefs quarterback is 'destined to be released soon,' according to USA Today.
The move wouldn't be shocking because Cassel is due $7.5 million in 2013 and to say he struggled last season would be an understatement.

been pretty much silent on this. looks like Andy might send him packin'
Thanks for posting image with your story. Not sure what to think about Cassel. A year ago, I was a big fan. Sadly, I now think its time for him to go. Great guy, great teammate, great leader, not a gifted passer though. Toughest guy on this team in my opinion.
He has to have some trade value. Even a 4th or 5th
Not likely since every team knows he will be cut anyhow. Alex Smith is better and may not garner trade interest for the same reason. Neither team wants to pay $8mm/yr for a backup QB.Quote:

Unless you are completely arrogent, or/and are without compassion (and Matt is not) its gotta eat you up from within to know you get BIG dollars, high expectations and horrible results. I really dont see him playing this coming year.
I think he's done in the NFL; I doubt there's a team out there willing to pick him up.Quote:

Actually I believe if he were to renegotiate his contract to a backup qbs salary I'd like to see him stay to find out
The problem is Cassel has absolutely no confidence and it would take a couple of years for him to get that back, if indeed he could ever get past that.
Hopefully geno res structures and signers a new 3 yr deal.
I would love for the Chiefs to cut him, and then resign him under a contract. From watching him play and watching the offensive play calling the last two years. I do not believe Cassel is the worste QB ever to play the game. I think he would be a top candidate to be any teams back up QB. He is exactly the type of player that you would want to come in a start a game or two should a starter get hurt. If the Chiefs let him go. I won't be upset either, however, I just think people have to look past their biased hatred for him as a starter and look at him what he is. I would take him over Quinn any second.
If they let him go, someone will pick him up to be a back up. If Charlie Batch, Damon Huard and Todd Collins can be back ups, Cassle will get a shot.
I meant cassell not geno. Or trade for 4th rd
Quinn should already be gone!!!!
Not until the 12th when the 2012 year is over that is why the Smith trade is on hold and there are no free agents yet unless they were cut by their old teams.Quote:
