Great. Now the Pats get 2 #1 picks(i think) from a team that picks in the top 5 every year. Oh wait, it was a trade, right? What were the terms?
Peter king reports it is for the 2nd round pick (34th overall) http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/writers/peter_king/02/28/chiefs.trade.for.cassel/index.html
Patriots | Hold still... Cassel situation just got more complicated Sat, 28 Feb 2009 10:30:21 -0800 Updating previous reports, Adam Schefter, of the NFL Network, reports a third, undisclosed team has entered the picture surrounding QB Matt Cassel. The trade parameters are in place between the New England Patriots and Kansas City Chiefs, but it is not a definite yet that he is being shipped to Kansas City. Schefter says Cassel is being traded, to which team has yet to be determined. 3rd team....
Apparently there is a third mystery team that might receive Cassel, and the pick the Pats receive this year is the 34th pick. Justing going off what my roomate is telling me as a pat fan
I know they would have never traded him within the division, but I would've given up a 2nd for Cassel in a second.
who gives a shit about 1 player coming out of college that has never played a down in the NFL? Overall the Pats are old on defense with a QB coming off a career threatening injury who hasn't played in well over a year. The Jets are coming. Fuck the Pats.
