NFL Network: Matt Cassel Traded to Chiefs.
 

Adam Schefter just reported this a moment ago.

Link coming soon.

Wow! Big move. Patriots get Brady back and now they'll have an extra 1st round pick each of the next two years. Sheesh.

Re: NFL Network: Matt Cassel Traded to Chiefs.
 

It's almost like other teams WANT the Patriots to continue their dominance. Nice work a-holes.

Re: NFL Network: Matt Cassel Traded to Chiefs.
 

I can't stand the Patriots, but their smart, you have to give them that. Cocky Bastards!

Here's a link, no real details on terms other than he hasn't agreed to an extenstion with KC yet...

Is this confirmed? I haven't seen details on the compensation yet. I would think that is a little steep.

If they get two first rounders for a guy who never started a game in college that is probably the best offseason move of all time (up there with Moss for a 4th rounder and the Herschel Walker debacle).

I think you have to give credit to the Patriot's leadership. Their culture does not allow other people's problems to bring them down. In fact they thrive.

Anyone want to bet that Fred Taylor doesn't have a huge year? (My early bet for comeback POY).

There might be a third team involved

I thought those were the terms of Cassel's franchise tag. I could be wrong.

EDIT: Nevermind, it was trade. They would only get those two 1st rounders if they signed him while the Pats still held his rights under the franchise tag. I guess I'm a little slow on the uptake today.

A mystery 3rd team. My guess is the 49ers.

Re: NFL Network: Matt Cassel Traded to Chiefs.
 

What would the third team get?

Re: NFL Network: Matt Cassel Traded to Chiefs.
 

The Chiefs only give up a 2nd rounder. Nice work!

Good trade for KC!

New England has three second round picks now. Any chance they become a trade partner? They could use a corner with Deltha O'Neal and Ellis Hobbs as their starters. They also need OLB's but the draft is deep there so they can afford to wait.
