Chiefs Trade for QB Matt Cassel

Cassel_medium

via weblogs.newsday.com

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.

Details...

The Chiefs gave up their second round pick (#34) for Cassel and Mike Vrabel.

Chiefs confirm the trade:

“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.

Thanks

I almost pissed myself when i saw it. :) I like Thigpen, but he must feel bad since he will have to pick the clipboard up again

and if they did this w/o giving 3rd pick an BIGGER wow

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!

hope so

If tony gets dealt for a 2nd or a 3rd and a 5th that would be great, ah the cool breeze of spring cleaning. It’s refreshing.

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

Maybe TG or BW.

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.

I'd be fine with Carr

But NOT Pollard or Flowers. Yeah right!

Looks like you guys are gonna get Connor Barwin now. How happy are you? I have a feeling you guys are going to get a lot younger at LB.

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.

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

Indeed =)

Here is the link for more info on Cassel.

It mostly details his stats, any records he broke while with the Patriots, his game-winning or tying drives this last season, and how he played during crappy weather conditions.

i think curry is a sure thing if we still have #3 overall… i believe pioli will do whatever it takes to ensure that we get him

vrabel is part of curry’s development plan

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.

That would be cool with me.

We could still find quality at that pick.

by ChiefDog on Feb 28, 2009 12:23 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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

I think we’re going to be finding quality all over the draft.

by thehulk on Feb 28, 2009 1:57 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

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.

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? :)

He has a soft side.

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.

Thigpen

Mike Florio is hearing rumblings that the Bucs are the mystery team and if they can’t get Cassel they might make a run for Thigpen.

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 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.

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.

He blew it up way before the combine

by ChiefDog on Feb 28, 2009 1:43 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

He was a great player

no question. But there’s a reason he jumped up the draft charts because of the combine. I’m just saying, it’s something to note.

yeah man

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

We have been talking about Curry on AP since before the season even ended

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.

So which is it?

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

by ChiefDog on Feb 28, 2009 1:48 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

I loved Bones more than anyone.

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.

Ridiculous Upside: All the "Almost NBA" info you can handle!

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.

by Bleedingredandgold on Feb 28, 2009 2:01 PM CST up reply actions   0 recs

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.

I wonder if Tony is going to bitch if Cassell plays?

It was one of his “stipulations” to stay. Maybe he saw the Waters situation and realizes this org. won’t put up with individual desires.

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.
