Matt Cassel - QB - Kansas City Chiefs
Jan. 7, 2013 - 3:05 PM ET

New Chiefs coach Andy Reid stated at his introductory press conference Monday that he'll be searching for "the next Len Dawson" this offseason.

"I have looked at the roster and there are some good football players on this football team," Reid said. "The quarterback position, I'm going to dig in and look at that and we'll build that thing. We'll see how that whole thing builds out. I need to spend some time working at it, though. I've got to find that next Len Dawson, doggone it. It might be right here, it might not." The Chiefs are fully expected to release Matt Cassel, who's owed a non-guaranteed salary of $7.5 million in 2013.
