Matt Cassel Net Worth $30 Million
Matt Cassel was raised with three siblings by Gregory and Barbara Cassel, in his hometown of Los Angeles, where he attended Chatsworth High School, and while studying there, he distinguished himself as both a baseball and football player. He was the first baseman in the Northridge baseball team, which reached the finals of the Little League World Series in 1994. In football he played in the position of quarterback, and was ranked No. 53 of the ESPN’s Top 100 high school players. After matriculation, he enrolled at the University of Southern California, where he continued to play baseball and football. Although he was selected in the 36th round of the 2004 MLB Draft by the Oakland Athletics, he decided to pursue his professional career in the sports industry as a football player.
Thus, Cassel’s professional football career began in 2005, when he was selected as the 230th pick by the New England Patriots. In his first three seasons with the Patriots, Cassel played only 10 games in total; however, with the start of the 2008 season, his playing time increased, as he became a starter after Tom Brady suffered an injury that kept him sidelined for the entire season. He finished the season with 3,693 yards, and 327 completed passes.
In 2009, he was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs, where he continued with his great performances, and finished the season with 2,924 yards from 271 completed passes. The same year he received a new contract worth $62.7 million over six years, which certainly increased his net worth by a large degree. The following season his performance was even better, as he had 3,116 from 262 completed passes; however, after that, his form began to decline, which eventually resulted in a release from the club in 2013.
Matt subsequently signed a contract with the Minnesota Vikings, for which he played two seasons, before he was eventually traded to the Dallas Cowboys. His contract expired at the end of the 2015 season, and in March 2016 he signed with the Tennessee Titans, which added further to the overall size of his net worth. When it comes to speak about his personal life, Matt Cassel has been married to his long-time girlfriend Lauren Killian, who is a former USC volleyball player, since February of 2007; the couple has four children.
