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

Matt Cassel AP

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.

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

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

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.

**The Franchise** · 03-13-2013, 11:17 AM

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

Dayze · 03-13-2013, 11:18 AM

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

....well, except us.

BUT EVERYONE ELSE.......

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

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

Frankie · 03-13-2013, 11:30 AM

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?
