Bills pulling off another trade

[Mr. Scot]

For Matt Cassel.  Compensation unknown as of yet but expected to be a draft pick.

 

Bills acquire Matt Cassel in trade with Vikings

 

Buffalo needed to add a veteran quarterback this offseason, and now the Bills have their man: Matt Cassel.

The Bills and Vikings announced today that they have agreed to a trade that will send Cassel to Buffalo. Technically the trade can’t be completed until the league year starts on Tuesday, but both teams have agreed to it.

The Vikings will get draft pick compensation for Cassel. So far there’s no word on the nature of the picks being swapped in the deal, but they’re presumably late-round draft choices.
...

In Buffalo, Cassel will compete with EJ Manuel to be the starter.

If they gave up more than a conditional 2016 6th rounder, they are idiots.

Why in the world...? The Vikings were going to cut him.

[Mvp2014]

If Rexxy can take Sanchez to 2 NFC championships why not Cassel lol

Rex does love his mediocre quarterbacks.

 

I'd say he picked a good player to continue the tradition of Mark Sanchez and Geno Smith.

Rex Ryan isn't fuging around lol

Now they don't have to compete with anybody for his services.

Hell he could've just signed Sanchez himself.

 

[Mr. Scot]

WTF is going on in Buffalo

 

Inexperienced GM coupled with bigger than life personality in a head coach...

 

At the very least, could be entertaining.

Who? Canada?

Yeah.  That would have been quite the bidding war, there
