MOD NOTE: This report has been posted verbatim on a number of different NFL message boards. It has proven to be false and the station mentioned in Tampa is reporting no such agreement. A number of posters here at PatsFans have tried to post it (see below) and their threads have been deleted.

...

BREAKING NEWS : Tampa Bay TV Station FOX 13 is reporting BUCS are finalizing contract extention talks with MATT CASSEL . BUCS and PATS have agreed on DEAL pending CASSEL CONTRACT SIGNING ( 4 years -29.5 million ). Buc 's official confirms deal is for Buc's 2009 1st round selection and 2010 conditional 2nd rounder.

Blast it. Didn't know that. Thought this was just something that hadn't been announced outside the area yet.

Mods feel free to remove with my apologies.

My first thought is that's a low number for a contract. He's already got more than half of that guaranteed in the form of his franchise tender for next year ($14.65M). Is the $29M the guaranteed amount?

BUCS and PATS have agreed on DEAL pending CASSEL CONTRACT SIGNING ( 4 years -29.5 million plus performance incentives ) .

I would take this.

Why would Cassel accept 4/29? That's way less than has been pegged. Most people think he'll earn at least 10-11M per year on his new deal. I smell BS on this rumor.
