Are Chiefs Sold On Matt Cassel?
(4/8 8:28 PT)

The Facts:
The Chiefs haven’t seemed sold on Cassel during the offseason. At the least, they’re giving off mixed signals. “That consistency … I think that’s the biggest thing with Matt,” HC Romeo Crennel said. “If he can develop that consistency like we had part of the time in 2010, where we weren’t turning the ball over — we were moving the ball offensively and we were scoring some points — if we can get back to that, that’s what I’m looking for from him.” Reported by the Kansas City Star

Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
The Chiefs started the offseason by saying they intended to find competition for Cassel, then watched as their best possibility for that, Kyle Orton, left as a free-agent for Dallas, where he will back up Tony Romo. They signed Brady Quinn but Star staffer Adam Teicher believes the team would love to snag QB Ryan Tannehill in the draft later this month. But it's uncertain whether Tannehill will be available to the Chiefs, who pick 11th. Teicher notes that Tannehill has to pass through QB-needy teams in Cleveland at the fourth pick and Miami at No. 8. There’s also the possibility a team in line behind the Chiefs, possibly Seattle, could trade up in order to draft Tannehill. So it’s far from a sure thing. But if Tannehill is sitting there at 11, the Chiefs just might break from tradition and pick a QB in the first round. And if they do -- even if the plan is to bring Tannehill along slowly -- the mixed signals on Cassel will be something we hear more about going forward.
