The exact same could be done in this situation, you’re just too stupid to realize it.

How old was Cassel back then?
You've now triple downed like your ****ing name.
Here's why it worked for the Patriots. Matt Cassel was 26 years old. Do you get that? He just had a good season in NE and wasn't going to be the QB on the team, obviously. At his age there's a chance he could be something, hindsight doesn't enter into this equation. So when you tag someone like him you trade for him with the expectation you are going to reduce that 1 year hit by extending him to a 5 year deal.
Now who the **** is giving Alex Smith a 5 year deal at 35, especially in the scenario of him being bad and the team that traded for him not liking him? TELL ME.
