Cassel / Bart Scott / Sanchez News...

[Marco Polo]

Didn't see this posted- From Rotoworld:


Cassel:
NFL.com's Adam Schefter confirmed that Matt Cassel signed his one-year, $14.561 million franchise tender earlier this month.
Chiefs general manager and former Patriots executive Scott Pioli didn't know, saying earlier at the Combine that Cassel "hasn't signed." Pioli clearly isn't monitoring Cassel's situation too closely at this point.

Scott:
In addition to the Jets, the Cardinals and Chiefs are reportedly expected to pursue free agent Bart Scott.
We can't imagine Scott landing in Kansas City or Arizona. He's an inside linebacker in the 3-4 and Arizona is already flush at that position with Gerald Hayes and Karlos Dansby. Scott will likely cost too much for the Chiefs.

Sanchez:
Three NFL scouts told the Chicago Tribune that they prefer USC QB Mark Sanchez to Georgia QB Matthew Stafford.
Scouts cite Sanchez's superior feel for the game, which they think may help offset his inexperience. The Tribune's Dan Pompei believes that Sanchez could pass Stafford as the No. 1 QB in the draft if he works out well Sunday.

This. And the fact that he's already 29.

Maybe the writer of the article doesn't think that Pioli will want to spend that much money on anyone. That is the reputation that the Patriots have had the last several years.

[Danman]

and clearly Pioli has no boner for Cassell-great news.

Even at 29 he's better then any body we have at LB.
