win win for Pats and Cassel
The New England Patriots placed the franchise tag on QB Matt Cassel yesterday. It is a good situation for both parties. This now makes it so Cassel can't just walk away and the Patriots get nothing back. The Pats can match any offer made by another team or allow him to sign with that team in exchange for two first-round draft picks. If they think Tom Brady may have trouble playing next season they can keep Cassel for one year at a high price of over 14 million. But they could trade Cassel rather than pay him the $14.65 million offer for 2009 in the franchise designation. Either way both parties win. They know what they have if he stays and they can get something in return if he doesn't. Good move for both sides.

They have to trade Brady! He's getting old and lets face it he lost the Superbowl. Cassel is getting better every week and he's not out wasting time with Jizzel instead of thitting the wait room. Cassel is the future
As well as Cassel played this saeson he wasn't tom brady. Look at what they both did in the last two seasons with the same offense. Not even close. I think many people forget how good he is. Tom Brady is also one of the nicest people in the game. He has it all going for him. He knows the look of a defense as soon as walks to the line of scrimmage. I'm not so sure Cassel does. He wants to play until he's 40. Kurt Warner just showed us it's possible and so did Favre. Cassel will help the team get younger in other postions with his value.
