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.

Getting anything for Cassel would be the steal of the century...can't believe teams are actually considering trading for him.

Oh please, oh please, oh please....

**The Franchise** · 03-13-2013, 01:41 PM

I would seriously laugh if we somehow got anything more than a 5th for him.

If we trade him.....we don't get any cap hit for him....correct?

Unfortunately this.

I don't see a team trading for Cassel and his albatross of a contract.

**The Franchise** · 03-13-2013, 01:46 PM

Now.....if I'm Cassel....I'd love a trade to the Vikings. He doesn't have any WRs but he can always dump it off to AP all day long. Plus Ponder is pretty much playing himself out of a job.

Ponder played well the last part of the season. Plus he is better than Cassel.

Now..... if I'm Cassel... I'd go door to door and apologize to every person in Kansas City with eyes, ears, and any other offendable senses. Then I would shit myself.

**** you/me Matt Casshole!
