Kansas City has the player it sees as a potential franchise quarterback, and now the Chiefs have Matt Cassel locked into a long-term deal.

The Chiefs have signed Cassel to a multi-year contract, a source told The Star on Tuesday. Terms of the deal have not been released, although the team is expected to announce the deal today.

Kansas City acquired the 27-year-old Cassel in March when it traded this year’s second-round draft pick to New England. The Chiefs also acquired linebacker Mike Vrabel in that deal.

Cassel had signed a one-year, guaranteed contract earlier this year with New England – the Patriots tagged the quarterback their franchise player before the trade – that would have paid him upward of $15 million for the 2009 season.

Cassel, a seventh-round draft pick in 2005, took over in Week 1 last season for the injured Tom Brady after the former NFL MVP suffered a season-ending knee injury. Cassel started 15 games, and New England won 11 contests in 2008.

I know there are posts of me in 2009 and 2010 in which I praise Pioli and give him carte blanche regarding Cassel and QB development.

I'm glad nobody has bumped them. It was a desperate time. I was younger and naive. I had no clue that the only thing I COULD control in this awful relationship with the Chiefs was my own dignity.

I have changed since then, but I still regret my comments and actions. I can't take back what I said, but I can change my thinking. And I like to think that I've worked hard to do just that.

We have all learned the hard way that retreads don't work.

It's just taking some of us a little longer.

And there are those that will never learn:

Seriously, they deserve the chuefs and the chuefs deserve them.

It has to be rigged or something right? The same shit different people. Once we fire Andy and Dorsey in 4 years the number one question needs to be will you take a shot on a qb in the first round?
