Chiefs just got Cassel, ON NFLN!

The Kansas City Chiefs announced on Saturday that the club has acquired QB Matt Cassel and LB Mike Vrabel from New England in exchange for the Chiefs second-round pick (34th overall) in the 2009 NFL Draft. The agreement is contingent on both players reporting and passing their physicals.

“I have a long history with both players,” said Kansas City Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli. “Mike and Matt are men that I respect both personally and professionally. I look forward to having them as new members of the Chiefs family.”

You know what ****head, you don't need to get paid from the NFL to actually be able to break down tape, understand schemes and figure out who can be good and bad.

I hate mother ****ers who post this shit.

If this is the case, there would never be any need for political discussion or sports discussion.

If the analysts on NFL Network are always so spot on, why in god's name aren't all of them able to predict the playoff teams before the season starts?

You know why Virginia had Monroe play left tackle and not Albert? Its bc he couldnt play any other position.

Needless to say, our Saturday just became exciting.

This.

You draft Curry now, especially with bringing Vrabel in via trade.

Until the draft, you try like hell to address the OL via Free Agency.....

They are both knowledgeable football fans...to say the least. They have great football opinions...but belittling everyone with an opinion and jamming theirs down everyone's throat without the ability of being objective in any way is irritating.

Those two honestly think they could run a football team better than anyone...and I think they really believe that, too.

All you doom and gloomers need to get a freakin' grip. Just sayin'. This is way better than waiting to see if the Chiefs sign the next Kendrell Bell, McInsack or Johnnie Morton.

I am feeling that too. I don't have a problem with it either.

[sparkky]

initially I have no problem with the deal but I'll reserve final judgment until we know the whole deal.
I don't have a problem with Cassel.

Why would you spend 50 million on a goddamned left tackle and 20 million on a left guard, when the ****ing left guard can play left tackle at a pro bowl level?

Jesus, why not just draft Alex Mack at 3 so we can have our COTF?

Dude shutup. Just cause you're a Mcdonalds manager and you have time to watch NFL Network doesn't mean you know what the **** you're talking about. And if you think Sanchez is a better QB then Cassell you're a booger eating tard.

Like his head coach in college? Damn that guy must be a frackin reerun.

Pretty sure that all of us know way more about football than anyone who actually does it for a living.

schefter says now that another team has been calling new england, KC has a deal in place and it probably still will go through but mystery team is still trying to get him

[Bob Dole]

Reporting maybe a 3 team deal now.
