Cassel The Subject Of Hot Debate

Not so sure about the future of Matt Cassel. Forum fans continue the debate http://ping.fm/zrGJe

Some examples of the debate:

This is from Adam Schefter at NFL.com:

Now that QB Matt Cassel has signed his $14.65 million non-exclusive
franchise tender — the largest guarantee on a one-year contract in the history
of the NFL — some around the league believe it’s 95 percent that he remains in
New England.


The only way the Patriots would trade Cassel is if they know QB Tom
Brady is healthy, and even if they do, the bidder needs to be to Cassel’s liking
and offer a contract to his liking, or there’s no deal.


That’s not to say it can’t happen. But it’s not going to be easy to
make it happen.


I stand by my oiginal statement. -- Angry Weasel

14 mil. for Cassel is monopoly money at this point! As soon as a trade gets
done, that number would come off the cap.

They tagged him asap.
Giving themselves and Cassel a little more time to negotiate with other
clubs. He can still negotiate, but the Pats have final say with
compensation.

Likely trade partners..Detroit, KC, San Fran and Minn.
All need franchise QB. A lesson I think San Fran learned the hard way by
selecting Smith. By any measure he's a bust!

Kiper also says that Cassel is a better QB than Stafford. So if Cassel is
crap and isn't even worth a 1st round pick, what does that make Stafford?
