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 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.
