La Canfora......Texans will sign free agent Cassel as a bridge to Blake Bortles

Matt Cassel | QuarterbackTeam:        Minnesota VikingsAge / DOB:        (31) / 5/17/1982Ht / Wt:                6'4' / 228College:                  USCCBS Sports' Jason La Canfora "anticipate(s)" that the Texans will sign free agent Matt Cassel.The dots connect, as new Texans coach Bill O'Brien was on New England's staff during Cassel's "breakout" 2008 season, and Houston could use a veteran bridge QB if it's to draft Blake Bortles, as expected. Bortles isn't ready to start in the NFL. Cassel already has a general understanding of O'Brien's offense. Mar 5 - 10:47 PMSource: Jason La Canfora on Twitter
