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.”

Have you watched a single second of any Georgia game, ever?

What did he cost us?

Jesus Christ.

Eh, we'll probably do that.

I would welcome a trade down now. They could drop back 5 spots and get that 2nd rounder back. I know, I know..they have to find a partner to trade with.

You all can thank Bernard Pollard for this.

for all those who want to point out the great system Cassell plays in or all the WRs he had...don't forget the non-existant running game he had to play with

**** it, I'm going to rally behind the kid. He has chance to be our franchise QB for the next 10 yrs and and at the end of the day that was all I was looking for.

If this is who Pioli and Haley really believe in, I'm glad they went out and got him and if it's 2nd I really can't bitch about the cost.

[Titty Meat]

hahah **** you Draftubators! We got a good QB.

Yeah, it's unlikely but I'm really hoping something happens there. I would have rather swapped firsts, then give up the second.

Awesome..on two levels...gives us a QB, and expose the board "braintrust" for what it is..outsiders who think they know more than those in charge.

while I appreciate the passion and emotional investment, it just goes to show
that while we think we know what's best, it's just a wish list based on personal opinion...

it's going to be funny watching everyone waste time and energy on something they have no control over...all the negative people now have their syllabus for the entire offseason.

For as much as I despise Tom Brady...I have no problems with having a smart kid QB our team that learned how to be a QB/professional from Tom Brady and Bill Belichick.

[The Bad Guy]

Any scenario that has Brendan Albert moving to guard is a ****ing horrible idea.

I agree. I like the move as long as it was for a 2nd round pick.
