Chiefs More Matt Cassel Speculation from Peter King

FloridaMan88 · 02-23-2009, 11:25 AM

Nothing substantial, but it is Peter King so we've come to expect that:

http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/200...22/mmqb/1.html

The logical places for New England to trade Cassel are Kansas City (because Scott Pioli is the man who drafted him in 2005 in New England), Detroit (because the Lions have $36 million in cap room and three of the top 33 picks to play with), Tampa Bay (because the Bucs have $55 million in cap room and no QB of the future), Minnesota (because Brad Childress needs a long-term quarterback) and the 49ers (because their quarterback is named Shaun Hill). I don't buy San Francisco or Minnesota because of the draft picks they'd have to give up, plus neither are cash-rich. The Lions don't seem inclined to risk taking a quarterback they're unsure of; ditto the Bucs.

That leaves Cassel's old pal Pioli. I think Cassel and Todd Haley would make beautiful music together. The Hunt family wouldn't grouse at the money. But I say no -- not because Pioli doesn't love the kid. I say no because of Pioli's history. The Patriots took Tom Brady with the 199th pick in 2000. They took Cassel with the 230th pick in 2005. Let's say the Patriots asked Kansas City for its second-round pick in 2009 and 2010. Pioli values picks in the 30s the way most team value picks in the teens. I'd be stunned if he did it. I think he'd trust Haley to pick a Josh Freeman in this draft in the third round, let's say, and work with Freeman, Brodie Croyle and Tyler Thigpen over the next couple of years and say, "Let the best man win.''

Again, Nobody has a clue to what KC is going to do or thinking come April... Just more speculation on what they think is going to happen...

I just friggin' want Sanchez or Stafford...if Sanchez is going to fall...trade up from the 2nd and get him...I trust Pioli...he's a smart dude...I can't wait for the draft...I think it'll be more exciting than last year.

Josh Freeman in the 3rd round. Okay then.

Sanchez had a terrible workout. He couldnt throw the deep ball and showed weak arm strength. He definitely fell out of the top 10 yesterday.

Says Who? What GM and HC come out and said that he fell out of the top 10?

Do we know where he is at on the Chiefs draft board?

Do we know he was even in the top ten on the Chiefs draft board?
