The Indianapolis Colts have visited and worked out with free-agent quarterbacks Matt Cassel and Brandon Weeden this week, in addition to Brock Osweiler, according to a source. With Andrew Luck hanging up his cleats last weekend, the Colts want someone other than Phillip Walker backing up Jacoby Brissett in 2019. Cassel, Weeden and Osweiler are low-end backup options, but at least they have some real NFL experience.

Detroit Lions quarterback Matt Cassel has won the preseason battle to be the team's backup quarterback, as Jake Rudock was cut during Saturday's wave of roster cuts. Cassel and Rudock had been competing to back up Matthew Stafford this preseason. Cassel was the front-runner entering camp based off of his experience in the league. Meanwhile, Rudock had the better preseason numbers, but it's clear the team values Cassel's experience. If anything were to happen to Stafford this season, the offense [...]

Detroit Lions quarterback Jake Rudock started the final preseason game Thursday night against the Cleveland Browns. He finished 14 of 24 for 114 yards and a touchdown. His first four drives resulted in a punt, leading the team to insert Matt Cassel into the game. Cassel then tossed an interception that was returned for a touchdown before the half. Rudock re-entered mid-way through the third quarter before eventually leading two fourth-quarter scoring drives. The Lions backup quarterback battle h[...]

Detroit Lions quarterbacks Matt Cassel and Jake Rudock have been battling throughout camp to become Matthew Stafford's backup. Cassel started the team's first preseason game against the Raiders and finished 10-for-18 for 81 yards. However, he also fumbled when he was sacked on the Lions last drive as they trailed 16-10. Rudock finished 12-for-19 for 84 yards against Oakland, but had a rough week during joint practices with their opponent on Friday, the New York Giants. Cassel should get more opp[...]

Detroit Lions quarterback Matt Cassel drew the start for the team's preseason opener, as Matthew Stafford did not dress. Cassel completed 10 of 18 passes for 81 yards. He was also sacked three times. He led the first three drives until the Lions scored a touchdown in the second quarter. Jake Rudock then replaced him for the majority of the game until Cassel was brought back out for the team's last drive when they trailed 16-10. Then with just 25 seconds remaining and Detroit driving down the fie[...]

Detroit Lions quarterback Matt Cassel is expected to win the backup job over Jake Rudock. Rudock will be entering his third year behind Matthew Stafford, but Cassel has 13 years of NFL experience, including four seasons with head coach Matt Patricia from their time in New England. Cassel played in just parts of six games with the Titans the last two seasons and can obviously be ignored in fantasy unless Stafford is injured.

Surely, you've seen one of those court shows which dominate daytime television. Judge Judy, Divorce Court, Judge Mathis… Whatever, you've seen at least one. If you haven't (and happen to be a law-abiding citizen of the utmost regard who's never had the pleasure of going to court), here's a quick rundown of the judicial process. There are two parties in each case: the prosecution and the defense. If you're basing your understanding off daytime TV, the defendants have normally done something [...]

The Detroit Lions appear to be giving equal time to quarterbacks Jake Rudock and Matt Cassel in practice so far. Those two will compete to back up Matthew Stafford next season. Neither will hold much, if any, fantasy relevance - barring an injury to Stafford himself.

The Detroit Lions have signed veteran free-agent quarterback Matt Cassel to a one-year contract. Cassel will come in and compete with Jake Rudock to back up Matthew Stafford. Cassel will not hold any fantasy value unless there is a regular season injury to Stafford. Even then, he would barely be playable, even in two-QB leagues.

The Detroit Lions are signing free-agent quarterback Matt Cassel on Wednesday, according to sources. Cassel has experience with Lions new head coach Matt Patricia and general manager Bob Quinn from their time in New England. Cassel has played in parts of just six games the last two seasons with the Titans and will compete to hold the clipboard for Matthew Stafford in Detroit in 2018.
