I think NE tried to play it like they really needed Cassel because Brady was maybe not 100%, but I don't think any teams bought it--I imagine most teams knew that Cassel would hit the open market if NE couldn't work out a trade.
Vick, at the time of the trade, was still the franchise QBoTF, and the face of the franchise.

Let me get this straight - the GM who has a reputation for pulling off great trades is being criticized for pulling off a great trade? A year ago if KC had done this deal, we'd have been a laughing stock, but this year we're being accused of collusion? LOLZ.

He doesn't ask the Broncos be investigated
for stupidity for wanting Cassell over Cutler
biased bastard

After talking with a few of you last night I think KC would have been better off with Cassel for a swap of firsts and a late round pick. This draft seems ho-hum at the top The best value seems to be in the middle of the first round. So KC could have topped the bucs first and third offer anyway and still come out ahead. JMO

It was the Texans. Schaub had only played 6 games the year before he was traded. Dree Bree's was the best FA QB that year, but had concerns about his shoulder. Atlanta got the best deal out of that trade. Maybe it takes a trade like that to rethink how you pursue and trade for a back up QB from another team.

It's our team and we'll trade how we want to! What wrong-doing could possibly have gone wrong in this? Is there an NFL rule saying you have to ask a certain amount for players? Randy Moss got picked up for a fourth round pick trade... I didnt hear an investigation there.

Schaub had been pimped for several seasons, however.

His value was more artificially inflated than the ****ing market.

If it comes out and teams confirm that they offered a first for Cassel alone, or as reports say, a first and third, then Mariotti may be on to something. I mean, no matter how you cut that, something doesn't add up.

I can buy this more than bmj's reasons.

But the fact is that there aren't any real viable FA QBs on the market, seemingly never ending questions about the draft's top QBs, and not another quality B/U available in sight.

It would seem to me that Cassel's value would be more inflated for those reasons.

Good luck to all with your new QB. Cassel is great, we'll miss him, and he gave us an exciting season. He's a quick learner, a smart guy, very athletic, and he will do you proud.
Hey whatchou doin' here? ROFL

cheers
