Sources are telling us the Kansas City Chiefs have signed former New England quarterback Matt Cassel to a 6 year deal.  Terms are currently unofficial, but sources report that Cassel is the Chiefs new $63 million dollar man.   ESPN.com reports the deal includes $28 million guaranteed, and an estimated $40.5 million in the first three years of his contract.

Cassel whom the Chiefs got in a trade with the Patriots that also neted the Chiefs Line backer, Mike Vrable now appear set to name Cassel their new starting quarterback.  It was rumored throughout the offseason that the Chiefs would play out Cassel's 1 year contract and see how things would pan out, it appears now the Chiefs have seen enough from Cassel so far this offseason that makes him the new face of the franchise.
