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.

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.

**bevischief** · 03-13-2013, 03:54 PM

Just do something with him.

In58men · 03-13-2013, 03:55 PM

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.

If the Vikings were smart, they'd do it.

A lot of people outside of KC think he's decent. People go more by the 2 decent years he may have had as their fantasy QB and don't watch the POS play.

Some of us should totally go and reverse troll some Vikings boards...lachieffan style.

"He was never given a real chance in KC" type stuff.

Could be fun.

What the **** do they mean, "trying to trade him"?

Christ, based on recent history, teams should be lining up trying to give us a 2nd round pick for the guy.

The last 2 seasons have a LITTLE bit to do with the perception of both QB's.
