Re: If Cassel plays like a competent NFL starter.....
Brady was signed for the 2002 season at a salary of $375,000. He was going to be an RFA in 2003 and an UFA in 2004 which meant that the Pats could have him for cheap for two seasons (2002/2003) before placing the franchise tag on 2004.
Brady's 2002 deal included an option bonus which had to be picked up by the first day of the 2003 league year.
If Cassel's deal includes an option bonus which has to be picked up by the first day of the 2009 league year, I do not expect the Pats to trade him.
Brady did an incremental deal in 2002. He was due to be a FA in 2003.
