Football Could Cassel be part of the Vrabel deal?

MIAdragon · 02-27-2009, 02:59 PM

Patriots beat writer Mike Reiss wonders if Mike Vrabel's trade could be part of a larger deal including Matt Cassel.

Now that would be a doozy. Reiss is one of the most well-respected beat writers in the country, and is usually very cautious to publish anything resembling speculation. He rightly points out that we have no idea what the compensation in the Vrabel trade is.

It shouldn't surprise anyone if it happens.

Hmm, A deal between the two most secretive teams in the NFL. Damn, we wont know the compensation until draft day.

They'll probably exchange 7th rounders in 2010 just so they can append "plus undisclosed picks" to the announcement.

There might be more than meets the eye to the deal between the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs, then we know about at this time. We do know that Mike Vrabel is headed to KC, supposedly for an undisclosed draft pick. Who or what else might be included, may not be known until later this evening.

Sources out of New England, have it pegged that’s there’s a “major announcement” involving this KC-NE trade coming at 6 pm EST tonight. Does the deal include quarterback Matt Cassel going to KC along with Vrabel? KC sending a player and possibly draft picks as part of the package? Or is it just the media having fun and messing with the minds of NFL fans?

No one knows at this time, but we’ll have the answers in just about 75 (it’s 4:53 pm currently) minutes or so. Stay tuned as I’ll have all the details once it’s all know. This could become a very interesting move for both sides, if there’s more to it than we know at this time. Would be a great for both clubs, helps get KC the players they need to rebuild faster. While freeing up salary cap on the NE side of it, plus a few extra draft picks means an ability to reshape the defense also.

announcement at 6pm EST? Isn't that 3 minutes ago here in the midwest?

Reporter: Scott, with the 3rd pick, how come you didn't draft a quarterback knowing Thigpen is the only qb you have?

Pioli: Oh shit, did I forget to tell you, we traded for Peyton Manning in March.

CrazyHorse · 02-27-2009, 03:09 PM

Wouldn't they pretty much have to have a deal in place with Cassel himself? It seems early for that.

Yes I agree you figure out compensation with the Pats 1st. But once you do that, you negotiate the money with Cassel before you pull the trigger on the deal.

So either the deal is complete which seems early, or there is no such deal for a 2 players trade, IMO.

I'm gonna repost this:

There is no way the Chiefs would be dumb enough to trade that for Cassell.

I would really like someone to explain to me how Matt Cassell is worth 1540 points. The entire Patriots Draft isn't even worth that.

So, unless you are telling me that Matt Cassell is worth more than our 2nd-7th rounders, plus next year's first, I don't know what else to say.

No chit. This is Pioli we are talking about. No one snookers him on trades or draft day.

Brock · 02-27-2009, 03:19 PM

I'm not crazy about the idea, nor do I think the Chiefs should overpay to the rumored extent, BUT. I have made a point of watching the games that Cassel played in whenever they're replayed on NFLN, and I have to say that he's not nearly the POS that some people around here claim he is. He made some throws that Thigpen could only dream about.
