Pioli made out great in this deal. He gets an up and coming potential franchise QB that he KNOWS a lot about as well as a veteran leader in Mike Vrabel to transition to the 3-4 defense. And he did ALL this without giving up a 1st round pick. So he get's his new QB without the public perception that he gave up as much as he should have. It's a great start for Pioli's campaign in KC. I almost get the feeling that BB gave him a home town 'discount'. LOL.

We got rid of a useless, slow Vrabel whose only big moment this season was not holding a jet (but still getting called for it), and we got something for Cassel. Mission accomplished.

Oh, and we have space to resign Wilfork.

That is pretty harsh for a guy that played a lot and played hurt almost all of 2008.
