Florio knows this is a bad deal for us.
schaub 2 2nd...
matt 1?
it'is impossible..
Schaub got a new contract the day he was traded.The only reason that the Patriots didn't get value is because Cassel happened to blow up in a year in which he was to hit free agency. With Schaub, he was under contract, and the team giving up the 2 seconds got him for at least a year with a cheap contract. That's why he had more value.
NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports that Matt Cassel is expected to be traded to the Chiefs, but there may a third "mystery team" in play.
Schefter has softened his wording, saying the deal has been "agreed to" and "expected." Paperwork has been drawn up; Cassel will be traded. Schefter says there is now some question whether Kansas City could be his final destination. The "mystery team" is supposedly a surprise, which would seemingly rule out Tampa. That team could either swoop in or get involved in a three-way deal. Cassel is also working out a possible contract, which is probably the biggest factor in holding up this news. It's possible the Patriots agreed to trade compensation, but Cassel's contract demands are holding the deal up. If Cassel is dealt, it's safe to say the Tyler Thigpen era is over before it started.
