Hey, Peter King answered my question (without saying anything!)...

[PatsDeb]

This link isn't the best, but it's all I could figure out. It is from his mailbag questions on MMQB, Tuesday Edition from today, 2/10/09. I wanted to see if he had any scoop on Cassell, which it seems he doesn't, even though he said in yesterday's column that Matt Cassell will not play for the Pats next season:

"HMMMMMM. From Debbie of Nashua, N.H.: "Just for clarification -- was the travel note about the Steelers fan in the airport without a napkin 'enjoyable' or 'aggravating?' Now the real question: Since you don't think Matt Cassel will play for my Pats in 2009, where do you think he'll land and for what price?''

Answers: Grotesquely compelling, but aggravating. I don't know where Cassel will land, but give me the week to have an educated guess. Read next Monday's column. He'll make about $11 million a year."

Re: Hey, Peter King Answered My Question (Without Saying Anything!)..

i presume the "price" you were asking about was what the pats would get for Cassel in terms of compensation, and not what Cassel would be making on his new team, right?

King's such a knob.

You are correct sir! What do I care what the kid makes once he's outta here! Seriously, King was fairly emphatic that Cassel would not be here next year, so I thought maybe he had something, but it appears that he is in the dark as much as the rest of us (not surprisingly).
