A source tells 1500ESPN.com that Matt Cassel intends to void his contract by Friday's deadline, therefore becoming an unrestricted free agent.
Cassel was set to earn $3.7 million in 2014. His decision to leave that kind of money on the table is surprising, and suggests he thinks he can land starter's money somewhere. That somewhere could end up being back in Minnesota, perhaps as a bridge starter to a rookie they select with the No. 8 overall pick in May's draft. Once Cassel officially becomes a free agent, he'll immediately vault into the top part of our rankings. Michael Vick, Josh McCown, Josh Freeman, Shaun Hill and Chad Henne currently occupy the first five spots in an ugly quarterback free agency class.
