Jason Whitlock has reason to be concerned about Matt Cassel. He’s the Chiefs new quarterback, doesn’t have much in the way of experience, and will make nearly $15 million in 2009. Oh, and it’s easy to be skittish when Cassel succeeds the likes of Damon Huard, Brodie Croyle and Tyler Thigpen.
Of the three, Thigpen probably has the most potential, but the new regime made it clear that he wasn’t in their long-term plans when they traded for Cassel. But that doesn’t mean Whitlock is convinced.
Specifically, he’s worried that the Chiefs “have little interest in signing Matt Cassel to a long-term contract before the start of the season.” There were rumors during draft weekend that the Chiefs gave Cassel a six-year deal ($36 million guaranteed). Untrue, it turned out.
