No noise when free agency starts, right?
Terms of the trade weren't immediately disclosed. And this is coming from Adam Schefter, not you-know-who so we know it's legitimate.
GO CHIEFS!!!
Here is DJ's FanShot. H/T Major Tom.
The Chiefs gave up their second round pick (#34) for Cassel and Mike Vrabel.
“I have a long history with both players,” said Kansas City Chiefs General Manager Scott Pioli. “Mike and Matt are men that I respect both personally and professionally. I look forward to having them as new members of the Chiefs family.”
Belichick on Vrabel:
"When Mike arrived in 2001, we knew we were adding a solid outside linebacker,” Belichick said. “But where Mike took it from there exceeded our highest hopes. Mike Vrabel epitomizes everything a coach could seek in a professional football player: toughness, intelligence, playmaking, leadership, versatility, and consistency at the highest level. Behind the scenes, Mike's wit and personality is one of the things we have all enjoyed about coming to work every day. "The toughest aspect of my job is the day I stop coaching people like Mike, who did everything in his power to contribute to team success. Of all the players I have coached in my career, there is nobody I enjoyed working with more than Mike In the same way people recognize guys like Troy Brown, we appreciate and thank Mike Vrabel. He is one of the very special Patriots champions."
Belichick on Cassel:
"It is very easy to root for guys like Matt Cassel, who do everything the right way and flourish as a result. As much as we would have loved to continue working with Matt, we wish him nothing but the best as he takes this next step forward in his career."
How good of a deal is this for the Chiefs? NBC pointed out two other quarterbacks who were traded for a 2nd round pick:
- Daunte Culpepper (with a shot knee)
- A.J. Feeley
Nice job, Mr. Pioli.

Does this mean
TJ is gonzo? I’m pretty sure I wouldn’t be happy with that trade. Nor with losing our #3 overall pick!

With Vrabel a part of the package I have a feeling we gave up a player too.
Maybe TG or BW.

I think you are right
What are the Patriot’s need? i know they just signed a TE yesterday from the Jets
Denver Sucks!!!!!
by Major Tom on Feb 28, 2009 12:14 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Defense, defense, defense.
Safety and cornerback are the biggest ones, but we could probably use an OLB now that Vrabel is gone, too.
Not much need on offense. A third WR and maybe an OL. TE would’ve been a need, but we picked up Baker so we’re probably set there.
by NESilver on Feb 28, 2009 12:16 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Maybe its Flowers, Legget, or Carr?

by JZChiefsfan on Feb 28, 2009 1:41 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
yeah, so here's the question
What would people be ok with if we gave up TG and/or BW? What kind of trade are we looking at? What is Cassel worth? And how much is it gonna hurt us if we lose either TG and BW or Both?
by Eastcoastransplant on Feb 28, 2009 12:14 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
I mentioned above that
I think Tony is worth a 2nd or a 3rd and a 5th, I would say Waters is a 3rd rounder. No problems if we lose them both acutally deal them away, Kc is offically under reconstruction and its not just the stadium baby
by Lvl.99 on Feb 28, 2009 12:23 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
wake up people!!
Now we have matt cassel the 14 million dollar man and no o-line to protect him,lol smart move, i think not.Even waters wants out now,we have 1 pick in the first 2 rounds,how does this help a team that needs alot of hole’s filled!!!As far as T.G or B.waters being traded thats just to more big holes to fill and not any attempts at anyone in the freeagent market!!!!What are they doing please dont dont get rid of ANY OF THE SECONDARY,they were the only bright spots for this team and one of the best secondaries in the nfl in the future!!!! I now see us drafting a o-line guy with the first pick and not aaron curry ,you think our d-fense was bad last yr just wait at this rate will have a bunch of patriot has beens!!! TYLER THIGPEN could at least avoid the rush with what we had at o-line M.cassel has no chance and will get killed!!!!
by CPT.Caveman on Feb 28, 2009 2:03 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
As long as we didn't give up our 3rd pick, I'm good with this
I mean lets be honest, I wanna give Thiggy a chance as much as the next guy, but he didn’t put up that great of numbers. And if it’s true that Tony G will be traded, there goes Thiggy’s #1 supporter. Sure, Thiggy could have been great, but he also could have been terrible. Cassel can actually take snaps under center and we can actually establish a run game with him.

Dont expect us to be pounding the ball, rather using offenses like Arizona and NE. They are pass happy offenses

IM NOT HAPPY
Cassel had the patriots o-line to work behind now he has nothing, i hope you guys are right and this move pays off but i have a bad feeling about this deal!!!! I just feel like we should address our o-line needs before we got the 14 million dollar man if waters goes who do we have left just B.alberts thats it!!!!!How does this help the team as a whole…………………….it doesnt!!!!

Cassel vs. Thigpen in Camp should improve the play of both.
Next on the need list: linebacker, and both lines

What did we give up?
I have no idea how to respond to this trade until I see what we give up. Without knowing that, I’m leaning toward unhappy. The Patriots were asking for a lot, and I’m not that impressed with Cassel.
Can Pioli bring in anyone who is not already part of his posse? We’d better be bringing in the best people, not just the ones he knows the best.

As a Pats fan I had to come here to tell you how much you will love this kid, great work ethic and a gutsy player.
And as for our needs, DB and LB, no one here has any clue what the compensation is I heard your 2nd rounder this year, and conditional for next year. no mention of players.

We could still find quality at that pick.

Pioli found Brady in the 6th round and Cassel in the 7th.

That's what I'm thinking too
Probably switched picks and gave up a second. Cassel is definitely worth it, we gave up a first for Green at the end of his career, I’ll gladly give up a first for a QB in his prime. Will people please stop saying he was good because of the system? Most of the top QB’s are in systems built around them. Mcnabb is about the only QB that doesn’t need a lot of talent to win. We have our QB,now they’ll start putting the weapons around him. I myself am excited to finally have someone at QB that should be the face of the team for years. It’s about time!

This is bad, I dont think it happened.
No one else is reporting this. The biggest free agent quaterback and no one, but shefter is reporting. It sounds like another Shannahan to HC story. I thought we were going to rebuild through the draft? We just got a 3rd string quaterback that had a great year to replace a 3rd string quaterback that had a good year on a bad team? All reports from boston globe and affiliates have him going to Tampa.

They are much different QBs.
Grbac was a statue, Bones was an incredible athlete who could scramble with the best of them.
Grbac had a cannon, but wasn’t accurate at all. Thiggy’s arm wasn’t quite as strong, and he was more accurate.
Sure, neither had great success in the W column, but there a helluva lot better comparisons than Grbac. Come on.
That’s just incredibly lazy.

and can get Curry, I’d be happy. Truth be told, I think Thigpen would have been fine given a few year as the starter. Pioli wants his stamp on the team.

Cassel is a very young 26.
He didn’t start in college, his only years starting in the NFL was last year. I think he will have a lot of mileage. If we got a 10 year starter and gave up a 1st round pick to get him, I don’t think it’s a bad trade. It’s a better use of the pick than Dorsey.

Our 2nd is the #2 pick in the second round (We flip each round with STL). It’s not like a late 2nd rounder.

Still think we could've gotten more
Even if it was a late rounder or conditional, but we have plenty of draft picks as it is and now we have three in the second round. We might be able to package some picks to move into the first and make some moves, and we cleared up cap space.
You guys got the better end of the deal, but I’m not terribly upset. In Belichick I trust.
by NESilver on Feb 28, 2009 1:10 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
Peter King with interesting insight, for once.
And it makes sense.
My take: Bill Belichick either didn’t get a better offer, or he did one of his best friends, Pioli, a favor with a player Belichick wanted to put in a good situation; Belichick is very fond of Cassel. It would not be surprising to see Belichick make the deal with Pioli because both were trained under Bill Parcells, and Parcells always made sure he watched out for his lieutenants and helped them whenever it didn’t hurt him.

They Did
They simply can’t take up a quarter of their cap space in one position with half of that spent on a backup who won’t be playing (if Brady’s healthy).
I tend towards the side that the Pats did this trade because they needed to clear salary and either nobody wanted Vrabel in the deal or he’s just fond of the players involved and decided to help them out. Who says Belichick is an asshole? :)

Of course, the media will never talk about it. That’s why veteran players love him, and a guy like John Lynch says he’s the greatest coach he ever had the pleasure of working with even though it was only for training camp/preseason.

Might Be A Smart Move
His trade value is not going to get higher than it is now if Cassel’s the starter. And if Thigpen leaves, I’ll wish him well down there.

Guppy Friday Is For Anyone
So if anyone wants to write the post, I’m cool with it. It’s an AP inside joke so any of the APers should be able to write one. First come, first served, as far as I’m concerned. :)
It’s not so much that I’m super-confident in the environment as I just hate my job. It’s a great company, great people, good pay, and they do great work, but it’s just a horrible fit for me and it’s not going to get better. On the plus side, it’s something I’ll have several months to see through (I need to train a replacement because I won’t leave them in the lurch) and they’re very supportive.

I've Been Mulling It For A Little Over A Year
I’ve got job security here and we’re prosperous, but I don’t feel I’m contributing enough value to the company, it’s a struggle for me to show up every day because I’m absolutely miserable there and I think it’s probably reached a point where it’s time to find something else that I do love and will thrive at. Life’s too short to make yourself miserable for a decent paycheck.

Been there and done that. I can absolutely relate. I left a job after nearly 10 years thinking I wanted a change in career. I finally got an opportunity I couldn’t pass up and although it’s trying at times I have a sense of accomplishment every day and the people around me are highly intelligent and supportive. Matter of fact, I just found out that I’ve been rewarded for last years work yesterday.
Hang in there. Life is too short. Find something that makes you happy and you’ll get rewarded in spades. Good luck again.

what are you talking bout. We’ve wanted him #3 and now we’re scared he might even go 1 or 2. No question hes the best player in the draft

Hey
I thought he was top three, I’m right there with you. I’ve been reading AP. I just don’t think it’s good for us to get too sold on one guy with two unpredictable teams in front of us.

We can’t get sold on him? Or, he wasn’t projected number 3 overall?

All I'm saying is
we have more good options than bad at this point. Not getting Curry would not be a disaster.

Okay, So your saying theres a chance.....
This was a very good trade if all we gave up was a 2nd round pick for Cassell and you I think will be the better assett Vrabel. Vrabel will be the on-the-field D coordinator for a team switching to the 3-4. This also is good, b/c if Cassell falls on his face in training camp and at the beginning of the season, which he will, it will not be a huge loss. If we took a quaterback in the 2nd round it most likely will be Josh “Mr. Erratic” Freeman. This also gives Thigpen a chance at a fair competition. B/C again Cassell will probably fail. Kudos on the Vrabel pick up. Hope Cassell suceeds. Just hope Thigpen does better.

But you don’t trade a second rounder for a QB that was franchise-tagged and then not start him. This competition is OVER today.

by Ridiculous Matt on Feb 28, 2009 1:46 PM CST up reply actions 0 recs
The competition isn't over
It’s just that the lead player has changed. Cassel becomes the probable starter, with TT getting a chance to win it if Cassel doesn’t bust butt to win it himself.
Starting a contract over a layer gets you guys like Croyle & Grbac.
If the O-line isn't built up, a rookie QB is gonna look bad next season. If the O-line is a lot better, Thigpen will win more next season.
QBs drafted in the top 5, back to 2001:
Michael Vick, David Carr, Joey Harrington, Carson Palmer, Eli Manning, Philip Rivers, Alex Smith, Vince Young, JaMarcus Russell, Matt Ryan. How many were worth that high a pick? You decide.

Grbac had a defense
And an O-line to protect him. Perhaps you forgot those little facts?
You might also note that I did NOT say that it was Thigpen’s job to lose, but rather that Cassel gets pencilled in at starter, but that TT should get a chance to /compete/?
Or do you just have a man-crush for Grbac?
Cassel vs. Thigpen in Camp should improve the play of both.

No, it's not.
Gannon proved himself over Grbac, but they started the money anyway.
Cassel did pretty well wit a good team, TT racked up some stats with a really bad team, but didn’t win much.
Now, if Cassel struggles, is injured, and TT comes in and wins, then they start the money anyway in 09, the comparison might have some merit.
Cassel vs. Thigpen in Camp should improve the play of both.
