Cassel Traded to Chiefs

[Aso]

Holy shit! I was making pancakes and went to turn on NFLN and it had the breaking news across the bottom of the screen.

 

[celtsxpatsxsox]

I wanna see the details. I wanna know how many Draft picks we got.

 

[Point Blank]

Very nice sign by the Chiefs, if true.

 

[Aso]

Patriots traded Vrabel and Cassel to the Chiefs this off-season. Both teams seem pretty well set for the future.

 

[Deviant]

Well, Cassel owes the Chiefs for his rise...

Anyone else think that trade is hysterical?

 

[ZAN]

Chiefs could be next years tough Madden O....

I guess we'll see if Cassel is the real deal or not now.

 

[celtsxpatsxsox]

We still have to see how he does without great talent on offense around him. At least he'll be throwing to Tony Gonzales and Dwayne Bowe. Now they could get some help @ draft day. Maybe drafting Crabtree?

But they most likely would of had to trade that first round pick so Crabtree is out of the question

 

[Aso]

They need some help on defense after releasing Surtain and Edwards. Plus they might play some 3-4. I think the Chiefs will draft either Aaron Curry or maybe Crabtree. Crabtree and Welker are both from Texas Tech though. They are getting better. I can't wait 'til Chiefs vs. Raiders in the regular season.

Well considering he was franchised don't they have to give up at minimum 2 first round picks?

 

[Bomberooski]

Dwayne Bowe is giving out so much +rep today.

 

[Aso]

They probably traded next years 1st round pick and a late round pick in this years pick.

No cause Cassel signed the one year tender so the patriots could do what they want with him. You only have t give up 2 firsts if the player doesnt accept the franchise tag.

 

[Aso]

There is another "Mystery" team involved. I think this could be a 3 team trade.

Gotcha...

 

[Aso]

Adam Schefter keeps saying that there is a "Team X" invloved. He says the Chiefs might not even get Cassel. He does know that a trade has been agreed to. Agreed to does mean the trade is complete. This sounds a little weird.

 

[Aso]

Celtsxpatsxsox is right. He is apart of the roster. They can trade whatever they want for him.

 

[killgod]

Oh if MM was only alive for just a couple weeks longer.

I coulda used the multi quote I had saved for this moment.

First I was dumb for thinking they'd tag him, then I was totally wrong for thinking anyone would trade for Cassel.


HA!

Can't wait to see what we got!

 

[celtsxpatsxsox]

I'll be SHOCKED if the Chiefs traded away the third overall pick in this deal. Would the Patriots even want it? They don't strike me as a team that would want to shell out the kind of money a third overall rookie would command.




Not sure that's a great description. The Patriots tagged Cassel, which means if another team tries to sign him without first negotiating a trade with the Pats, then New England gets two first-round picks. But New England is free to trade Cassel for less than that. The two first-round picks thing just protects New England from some other team negotiating and offering Cassel a contract.

Thats what the thrid team is for. So NE can get a later pick in the draft. But an NFLN they said that Cassel and the third pick is going somewhere.

What I said about the franchise tag was right. You only have to give up two firsts if they dont accept the franchise tag offer (ex Julius Peppers). Once they accept the franchise tag offer basically arent "franchised" anymore and are a normal part of the team.

If the Lions dealt their first pick for Cassel, I'm going to kill someone. We had better not be the fucking mystery team.
