Top 10: Regrettable NFL Offseason Decisions
No.1 - Kansas City Chiefs trade for Matt Cassel
A silent alarm should have sounded for the Chiefs when the New England Patriots sold off “franchise” Matt Cassel for such a cheap price. Getting good value from Bill Belichick is like getting a good deal from a greasy used-car salesman: you’re lucky if you get what you pay for. Cassel looked shiny and nice while he was on Belichick’s lot, but so have many players. Belichick makes his squad into overachievers and then sells high, only to see his parts fail elsewhere. See: Deion Branch, David Givens and Ty Law. The Chiefs also signed Cassel to the richest contract in franchise history before he even played a snap, which may have been premature. A simple six-month test drive wouldn’t have hurt. He has ”bust” written all over him and his early struggles in training camp are just the early evidence that the Chiefs got a lemon. http://www.askmen.com/top_10/sports/...decisions.html ___________________ While I don't agree with the long term signing, I don't think it deserves #1. |

Yes but hes trying to compare this to Cassel. Cassel is what 27? Not an overaged Conerback. They didnt get rid of Cassel because his tools were warped thanks to old age. Comparing Ty Law and Cassel are stupid and thats what the writer did. Same goes for Branch they got rid of him because he was getting older. Cassel doesnt fit those categories.

Not only do they not have to pay him $15M to be a backup, they get a 2nd round pick to go with it. |

Hi,
I'm a blogger. I've never played organized football. I like to post on-line entries regarding 'Wrestlemania'. I know more about football than Scott Pioli and Todd Haley. Matt Cassel sucks. And you should believe me because I'm a blogger. Did I mention that I'm Canadian? Your Friend, Sound & Fury

Samuel is 1 year removed from NE...
If you wanted to give a #1 for bad moves over the last 5 years in the NFL you could sum it with 1 line "the arrogance of NE assistants" |

I would've expected "Drafting Crabtree" to make the list.

They are smart about who to keep and who to get rid of. Since Cassel is a QB they knew his value would never be higher than what it was this off-season considering Tom Brady is the starter. They did the smart thing in trading him to KC. Now, that doesnt mean he will become a bust. |
