today it was reported that Matt Cassel was traded to the Kansas City Chiefs along with vetern linebacker

Mike Vrabel for a second round draft pick. when i first read the story on yahoo sports i thought

they for sure left something out. i found it hard to believe that they gave up both guys for one

draft pick. sure enough it was true. being a patriots fan i expected to get more out of it because

Cassel proved to be a worthy starting quarterback in the NFL. this is an awful trade! maybe Scott

Pioli cashed in on a favor with this one? even so, bad move on the patriots part, i think they

should have got a first round pick from Cassel alone. on the upside of things the patriots get their

1st Round pick (23rd overall), three 2nd round picks and maybe an additional 3rd round pick because

of the Asante Samuel deal with philly last off season. oh yeah, the patriots also get their

All-Universe star QB back this season, you may have heard of him, Tom Brady. no big deal.
