Ok. You have just been named the new GM of the Lions, Chiefs, 49ers, Rams, Seahawks, Bills, or Redskins.....

What do you do? What would you give up for Matt Cassel. The Patriots have told you there is a blind auction to be held, and whoever has the highest offer on the table will receive Cassel.....what do you do?

If I am the owner I hire Parcells who is going to get out of his Dolphins contract, and let Parcells do whatever he wants.

If I'm already the GM, I give up my 1st rounder for Cassel rather than go with a rookie QB, and hope I didn't get out-bid.

Why does Parcells want to leave? Does he feel his work is already done?

Detriot could easily give up the Dallas first round pick for Cassel, and honestly I'll take peanuts to keep him out of the Jets hands.

Depends, if I am the Skins, Seahawks or Chiefs, I like my QB play with Campbell, Hasselbeck (if healthy) and Thigpen, so I wouldn't even be in the bidding. I would use my picks to build other areas on the team which need improvement.

With the Lions, my main piece is Calvin Johnson, I have a solid rookie back this year who showed flashes, I could trade a first rounder for cassel, or use those picks and try to rebuild my team from the trenches out with a solid 2-3 year plan and try to compete in a few years, since Cassel won't turn me into a contender over night, so I might give Stanton (I believe thats the rookie they drafted) a chance to grow while building around him.

The other teams, I would have to do some roster research, see what I would have for players, picks, cap space etc. Some bad teams QB play isn't an issue, or if it is an issue, its because of a temporary problem, like Carolina last year, that will fix itself once injuries heal. The main teams that I think that would be looking at Cassel are San Fran, the Jets (even though we would never do business with them,) maybe Minnesota if Tavares Jackson crashes and burns in the post season, and maybe Cincy if Palmer is finished and unable to return to form, and Chicago if the don't want to deal with Orton.

His four year contract contains an out clause where if the Dolphins are sold (could happen as early as Tuesday) he gets to opt out but still collect his millions for the final three years.

I do wonder, though, if that clause does say that any money he receives from other teams offsets his guaranteed amount, that wasn't reported but it's a common type of thing. This was only reported today on the pregame shows.
