Cassell's stock was worth even more according to some NFL GM's.

Some even said he could of been worth a top 15 pick.

Cassel sent to Chiefs

Matt Cassel, whom the New England Patriots named as their franchise player in early February, has been traded to the Kansas City Chiefs.

Cassel has been informed he is being traded to the Chiefs, ESPN.com's John Clayton and ESPN's Michael Smith have confirmed.

The Boston Globe reported on its Web site that official paperwork had been filed with the NFL. The story was first reported by NFL.com.

Cassel had accepted the Patriots' non-exclusive franchise tender, guaranteeing the quarterback at least $14.65 million next season. Cassel faxed his acceptance to the Patriots, the NFL and the NFLPA, but the Patriots also needed to offer him the one-year contract.

The franchise tag's value is the average of the top five salaries for NFL players at a particular position.

Cassel finished 327 of 516 for 3,693 yards, with 21 touchdowns and 11 interceptions.

It would be the Chiefs' second acquisition of a major member of the Patriots' organization in as many days; the Chiefs traded for linebacker Mike Vrabel on Friday. It also was orchestrated by one as well -- Scott Pioli, the former Patriots vice president of player personnel who this year was hired as the Chiefs' general manager.

ya ik its the channel, just saying the website hasnt posted crap until just a few minutes ago.
fack, now i cant post until i make that celebration..

 

[Gtown81]

Damn it, why couldn't he have just gone to Tampa.

 

[CurseReversed04]

I don't think Pioli outsmarted the Pats. I think that we did not get enough at all for those two players, I think Cassel alone is worth more than that, but I also think something else is going on, maybe with Peppers.

 

[MapleLeaf]

Pioli- 1
Pats- 0

 

[.loggie]

i wouldve given up the lions #20 pick for cassell

[WHO-DEY-BENGALS_18]

Okay...what does that have to do with this deal though?

I guess you can see I'll be liking the Chiefs now. With Vrabel and Cassel, Kansas City has become one of my favorite teams not named Patriots in football. Should be interesting to see how LJ and Tony G respond after the deal (like if they wanna stay or still be traded).
