Two twos - New England Patriots Forums

I think this would get it done (for Cassel), as long as they are low twos and the offer comes early in free agency.

If a team like KC or Detroit is involved their round two pick is virtually like a 1st rounder. The Pats win because they get two extra day one picks and have get a bunch of cap room back to use on free agents / extensions.

Of course all of this assumes that Brady is healthy.

Matt Cassel is of much more value than Matt Schaub.

I'd agree with that, but there are enough factors in play here (loss of value if Brady is healthy, system QB label, super talented supporting cast, weak schedule, etc) that i would be ok with the Pats receiving the same value for Cassel as the Falcons did for Schaub.

maybe. but keep in mind teams know we are strapped salary cap wise. so, while they may be willing to trade for cassel, they may offer much less in return knowing we probably have to get rid of him somehow

I hope everyone posts a thread as to what their personal opinion of Matt Cassel's trade value is.

Dont forget the Derek Anderson factor. I dont feel he is as good as Cassel, but ive seen reports that the Browns may try to trade or release him and give the starting QB job to Quinn. Some teams may look at Anderson and feel they could gethim for a third max, and that is better then giving up a two or one for Cassel.

I'd be fine with two two's. The only concern is will one of them be able to dance and sing like Cassel

I'm not as greedy as most of you. A first day pick in 2009 would

be better than a third round compensatory pick in 2010 that we

would have gotten for Cassel.
