November 29, 200817 yr I like Cassel, I wouldn't mind seeing him in KC, or with the Niners. Please don't go to Detroit, please..
November 30, 200817 yr I believe Thigpen will be the starter in KC next year. He is putting up some really good numbers now that he is gaining confidence.
January 4, 200917 yr Bringing this thread back because of this news. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3809444 Looks like the Pats are going to franchise Cassel.

January 4, 200917 yr Franchise him? Are you kidding? They'd have to pay him like a top QB for a year... I think the Pats will consider this and try to trade him fo a draft pick or two. If he is a free agent and the Pats don't pursue him, I wouldn't be surprised to see the Jets make a run at him to replace Favre. The logical teams are Minnesota, San Francisco and KC. Actually, no, I'm not kidding and neither are the analysts and reporters who have mentioned the idea. With the uncertainty of Brady's recovery, it's an idea and something they may consider. Albeit maybe a bad idea, but it's just a question. Not a stupid one though because like I said, Brady's recovery from his injury is uncertain. I just looked at the top salaries for QB and franchising him is expensive. They could sign him to a big deal and trade him, but franchising him is too expensive even if you wanted him as insurance. Franchising Cassel would put him in the 8-10 million range I think... Franchising Matt Cassel is what Mike Brown would do. What a horrible idea... I'd let the season finish and see what happens. If Cassel shows that he's capable and does well in the playoffs, then I'd consider keeping him and trading Brady. Imagine what they could get in return for him... All I know is this guy is going to get payed alot in the offseason. Here's some of my favorites, some were right, some were off

January 5, 200917 yr $29 million tied up in two quaterbacks after this move. This doesn't seem like a smart thing to do, which is why I thought New England wouldn't do it. I still don't understand why they didn't just throw 5 years, $40 million with $15 million guarenteed at Cassel and try to negotiate a contract. Then you can get him for less than the $14 million you pay him next year and still have leverage to trade him.
January 5, 200917 yr I can't believe NE would tag him. I know Brady has had some issues with his knee/rehab but that's an absurd amount to pay for a backup QB.
