Matt Cassel Goes For #14

QB Matt Cassel has made quite a career for himself as a backup. The Lions just signed him as insurance for Matthew Stafford.

The 35 year old was selected by the Pats in the 7th round of the 2005 draft. He had a breakout season in 2008 after Tom Brady suffered a season ending knee during the team's first game. He lead them to a record of 11-5.

They traded him to the Chiefs prior to the 2009 season. He finally made some serious money before moving to the Vikings, Bills, Cowboys, Titans and now the Lions.

He knows what his role is. That has kept him around for 14 seasons.
