Chiefs trying to trade Matt Cassel, may cut him today if they can’t

Matt Cassel won’t be a Chief for much longer, but the question in Kansas City is whether the team can get anything for the quarterback.

NFL Network reports that the Chiefs are trying to trade Cassel, who became expendable when the Chiefs formally acquired Alex Smith in a trade with the 49ers. As we noted yesterday, the Vikings, Buccaneers and Cardinals have all shown some interest in Cassel, and it’s possible that one of them would give up a late-round pick to acquire him.

Of course, no team would be willing to give up anything for Cassel unless they first work out an agreement to dramatically reduce the $7.5 million base salary on the contract that the Chiefs signed him to when they decided to overpay him after one good year with the Patriots. And the teams interested in Cassel may just figure they can hold off on offering anything for him in a trade because he’ll become a free agent at some point this offseason, as the Chiefs are obviously going to cut him.

So, while Andy Reid was a master at trading backup quarterbacks in Philadelphia, he probably won’t be able to repeat that feat in Kansas City.

And, according to NFL Network, if the Chiefs don’t find any takers in a trade, they could cut him as soon as today.

LMAO

Hey! We are going to cut this guy today but we'll take any offers to trade him!

LMAOLMAOLMAO trade?

Trade. That's funny.

I swear to God if that happens I will love this day forever.

:popcorn:

I see how the trade could work - its a guarantee you get him - with three teams showing interest - if it was just one team, sit and wait for the cut - with three teams in the mix a team like Arizona that desperately wants him will pony up the small "fee" to make sure they get him

The Chiefs have done a terrible job at showing their hand at the QB position.
Every team knows Cassel won't be retained.
Every team knows the Chiefs aren't drafting Geno Smith, therefor the best trade partner will be the Jaguars.

I wish Al was still alive.

:thumb:

Trade him for a six pack of generic? Some old Quittin' time beer would do.

that
 

:banghead:

They need to make sure Alex Smith doesn't break a leg getting off the the plane for this afternoon's PR.

Nobody is going to give up even a seventh round pick when he can be picked up off the street in 24 hours.

trade for a case of warm Natty Light.
and even that's a kings ransom.

@JohnClayton

Rumors are pointing towards Matt Cassel picking up application for Walmart.

Unfortunately. This.

He stole enough of Clark's money to live comfortably for the rest of his life.

I'll give them a spoiled summer sausage I have in my fridge. If he renegotiates his salary to $.75 an hour.

He'll go bankrupt, something bout chicken fighting.

that's because matty c is not a QB. period. but thx for trying, andy.

More evidence of Pioli's complete and total ignorance. If not for Casshole's albatross of a contract I think we could have already gotten something for him, but as it stands who wants to even begin to touch him with his numbers.

It's just not worth it.

No one is going to trade for him and take that cap hit.

smart teams don't trade for players who are going to be cut anyway from a cap perspective.

....well, except us.


BUT EVERYONE ELSE.......

He won't put some old fart out of a job as a greeter. That is not Matty Nice Style.

The bolded part was unnecessary because you already disqualified the Chiefs with "smart teams."

Adam Schefter ‏@AdamSchefter

Sources say that Scott Piioli still likes Cassel alot. Willing to give up a 2nd

"Matt, you're not supposed to slap people as they enter the store. You made four children cry today."

"I thought I graded out perfectly!"

HEY does any team out there want to trade us for our shi uh 2010 "pro bowl" quarterback?

Shouldn't Belichick by rights give us a 6th for him after raping us when we paid him a 2nd? I mean that's a good way to apologize to us, isn't it?

I know I'm wrong, but I still feel like such a deal is on the level of collusion.

Yeah, hopefully Jim Harbaugh feels the same way in a couple years...

Boy the worst contracts given by the Chiefs:

Piollis big contract to Cassel

Carl's big contract to LJ

Carl's big contract to Dan Williams

Rank them. It hurts to remember these atrocities.

:popcorn:

Atleast before the LJ contract he was actually good

The Cassel contract by miles.


We were stuck with his garbage for a LONG time.

Every team knew that the 49ers would not keep A. Smith (not at his salary)
Every team knew that only ARZ had an interest in him
Everyone knew that ARZ was not willing to give a high pick for him

Therefore, we gave up TWO high picks for him.

Using the same logic, if we can find a new GM as horrible as ours, we ought to be able to get a 4th rounder for Cassel.

Unfortunately, there are no fools as bad as our fool. A pity.

Still, it is possible we get a 7th rounder for Cassel.

Was it just me or did LJ start to suck once Roaf retired? Well our whole offense sucked after Roaf retired, which coincided with us hiring Herm if I remember correctly.

This is blatantly false. Makes it seem as if a Matt Cassel, a pro bowl qb, is garbage that you can just pick up off the street.

He's shit, and you know damn well they'll have to go down into the sewers.

LJ was showing obvious signs of decline at the time. A true descending player. But LJ was Carl's Matt Cassel.

good point.

:popcorn:

He was ok in 2007, but then got hurt. Thats what truly killed him. In 08, he was obviously a shell of himself, but then his career really stalled again when he missed that month or so of games. He didnt like the Pistol thing with Gailey, but he had a few nice runs out of that formation when he came back. Then in 09 he was done and never fully on board with Haley anwyays.

Cassel was the worst contract by a ton. Hell, I'll fight anybody that says Casshole wasn't the worst starting qb in the league the last 4 years. Bring it on, jets/jags/cards fans!

Pro bowl bitches!!

Even more fun than the celebration that will occur here if a trade goes through will be to go to the unlucky teams message board that will be some funny shit!

Who was that safety or CB that Carl nabbed in FA from the Giants in the 90s? He never played a down for us......that was pretty bad.

Or was it a trade?

In comes Patriots fans to ballwash Cassel and blame it all on coaching.

Have they tried Craigslist?

Yes. Whoever picks up Casshole, I say we all go to that team's message board and troll it for one year. Just for pure fun.

In light of Alex Smith Fan, we can all name ourselves Matt Cassel Fan 001, Matt Cassel Fan 002, etc... and just be total douchebags, bringing absolutely nothing to their messageboard.

Wonder why they're having no luck. Don't people know Cassel is a probowler?

I'm in!

I was thinking a sixer of Falstaff, but that would probably be asking too much.

So, be like 90% of planeteers?

Touche.


But, we are douchebags on our own forum. Big difference.

FA Carlton Grey who got some ridiculous contract and never ever did a thing?

I thought at first you meant Carlton Gray but he did start a full season (terribly).

I also remember Carl giving a 2nd for Victor Bailey, who never played a down for the Chiefs. :doh!:

Lets see:
I got some old fireworks, a wheelbarrow with no wheel and some vintage Winston cigs.
I will trade for one Matt Cassel.

I need a lawn guy.

Chiefs | Three teams may be interested in Matt Cassel

The Minnesota Vikings, Arizona Cardinals and Tampa Bay Buccaneers could be interested in trading for Kansas City Chiefs QB Matt Cassel.

For the love of God.....trade him to the Bucs. My friend would be PISSED. LMAO


Seriously though....ship him off to the Vikings.

LMAO

Getting anything for Cassel would be the steal of the century...can't believe teams are actually considering trading for him.

you would be suprised how many fans actually think he is an ok QB. I looked on one of the vikings message board and they are all excited at the possibility of trading for this schmuck. its un-****ing-believable.

Oh please, oh please, oh please....


:grovel:

I would seriously laugh if we somehow got anything more than a 5th for him.

If we trade him.....we don't get any cap hit for him....correct?

Reid got a 2nd for A.J. Feeley... :hmmm:

thats right.

Why not? We got a 5th for Tyler ****ing Thigpen.

Tyler wasn't making 9.8m

Unfortunately this.

I don't see a team trading for Cassel and his albatross of a contract.

Now.....if I'm Cassel....I'd love a trade to the Vikings. He doesn't have any WRs but he can always dump it off to AP all day long. Plus Ponder is pretty much playing himself out of a job.

Ponder played well the last part of the season. Plus he is better than Cassel.

Now..... if I'm Cassel... I'd go door to door and apologize to every person in Kansas City with eyes, ears, and any other offendable senses. Then I would shit myself.

**** you/me Matt Casshole!

They don't show Chiefs games up here is why.

Matt Cassel is a Pro Bowl QB.

If Alex Smith is worth a 2nd, then Matt Cassel is worth a 1st.

Just do something with him.

I like how Casshole and Alex have very similar stats and we can't even get a god damn 7th rounder and Jimmy Harbaugh gets our 34th pick.




Holy shit we ****ing suck balls

How about we trade the Vikings for their 2 1st round picks? We give up our 1st and Matt Cassel. :D
