And speaking of good career moves, Matt Cassel soon will leave New England, and it’s safe to say no athlete ever has left this region on better terms. Once the Patriots place the franchise tag on Cassel, the bidding officially will begin and the help the Patriots defense desperately needs will be on the way. No reason to think the Pats won’t parlay a backup quarterback into a starting corner and safety and maybe more.
Of course, a deal already could be in place. The Kansas City Chiefs, who have the third and 35th pick in April’s draft, really could use a quarterback. We hear Belichick has a good relationship with the Chiefs’ new general manager. It could be a win-win for both guys. Just like the old days.
