He's signed through the 2008 season. So there's the offseason after 2006 (early 2007) and the offseason after the 2007 season (early 2008). He's practically free but has to be worth something pretty good on the trade market - not withstanding the fact that we said the same thing about Davey

I'm saying after this 2006 season. There's so many crappy QBs out there, someone will offer something good for him.

Doesn't that leave us with one of those crappy QBs? Cassel may not start for the Patriots, but a quality backup QB is rare and enormously valuable. I'd be shocked if they traded him before developing a replacement. Maybe use a couple of those late-round draft picks they're stockpiling to pick QBs and let the winner learn as QB #3 next year?

If nobody looks good enough to be #2 after 2007, I'd just let Cassel play out his contract then say thanks and goodbye. You'd still have gotten great value for that 7th-round pick.

yes but within a couple years we may be able to get a third round pick for him

Yeah, I overstated the last option and should have just left it at Never for the various options of Never that there are.

Wow...get rid of this kid? He has great talent. No thanks I dont want to have some terrible scrub as my backup QB in the future. Cassel has looked really good. Screw a draft pick, he is a keeper. Trading him would totally suck.

When the offer they can't refuse comes along, or another way to say it, when Matt's trade value exceeds his value to the Patriots.

Yeah, and then if Brady gets hurt, we will have one of those crappy QBs instead of Brady.

Uh uh. If you are going to have a backup QB, have one that can back up your QB.

Keep Cassel as long as you can.
