Notes: Detroit Lions hand Matt Cassel a veteran minimum deal

Matt Cassel's deal has some guarantees attached to it, but not enough to suggest door is closed on Rudock.

Cassel got one year, vet minimum, $260K guaranteed + 90K signing bonus. That's a vet min benefit cap hit of $720K ($350K dead money).

Rudock at $630K, all non-guaranteed— Justin Rogers (@Justin_Rogers) April 11, 2018

Mentioned the other day I was expecting an MSB deal on Matt Cassel's one-year contract with the Lions. That's what he got with some guaranttes: $1.015M base salary, $90k SB. Total $350k guaranteed.

  • Ever wonder what these early offseason workouts look like, especially considering the Lions can’t do any real football drills yet?
