Well, the Vikes signed him so Cassel isn't available. I also think they want Mallet as the #2, and if they brought in Cassel and made Cassel the #3, that would be very awkward given that Cassel was the #2 guy before and even started for the Pats when Brady was out in '08. Too awkward to bring him back now to be the #3 guy.

Also, this might be a good thing for Tebow. With more teams going to the pistol type offense and mobile QB's, wouldn't Tebow make a decent addition to practice against. Yea his throwing might suck but letting a defense see what happens when you don't cover correctly or the QB starts to scramble around might be a benefit.

That is quite literally the best use yet for the guy that I have seen/heard/read. Nothing else makes much sense. QB? Yeah, we're going to take Tom ****ing Brady off the field to let Captain Crooked fling it around. TE? He runs a 4.7. That's SLOW. Special Teams? Yeah, ok, maybe, but he's not a superstud on STs, and you can only have a few guys on your roster that are ST-only one-trick ponies. He's not a specialist...

Watch what happens....I bet they put him in during preseason or at the end of the season during garbage time and he lights things up. Then some desperate team (coughjaguarscough) will think he has been fixed and give the Pats a 2nd or 3rd round pick for him. Belichek makes off like a bandit again just like he did with the Cassel trade.

Yes please.
