Cassel's deal for two seasons, worth $7.4M
Matt Cassel - QB - Minnesota Vikings
March 18, 2013 - 12:00 PM ET
ESPN 1500 Twin Cities reports Matt Cassel's deal is for two years and $7.4 million, and that the second year can be voided by Cassel up to five days after the Super Bowl.
Seeing as the odds are nil Cassel would be able to earn a bigger payday for 2014 next offseason, we wouldn't worry about him voiding the second year of his deal. It's far more likely the Vikings decide to move on from their questionably priced backup quarterback. If 2013 proves to be a "break" year for Christian Ponder, the Vikings are going to need to do better than Cassel to replace or push him.
