Pats to franchise Cassel

[Mr. Scot]

What team has significant cap room, draft picks available and needs a young QB with a decent resume?

Tampa would certainly be a fit, but I think the better fit might be in Detroit. Detroit certainly has a pick or two to toss at the Patriots in order to land Cassel and they desperately need a young QB to build the team around.

Detroit's also a good candidate to get Scott Pioli.

I agree that Detroit is a solid choice to trade a pick for Cassel. Especially since they have two first rounders.

Kitna is probably gone and he is one of the few guys I wouldn't mind the FO getting in here to backup Jake and continue to groom Moore.

Don't laugh. Kitna is pretty good when he has some talent around him.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Lions offered their second 1st round pick and the others required for a franchised player for Cassel, and the Pats say they want the Lions #1 overall pick in the draft.

I am not so sure that I trade him until I see how Brady rebounds from injury.

They almost made the playoffs, and would in normal years, they don't need the picks. Franchise him and keep going, then trade him if Brady is back to full strength and playing well. And if not, keep him and franchise him again, and start over.

I think the #1 may be a little too much .... I think that a Pats/Lions deal would probably involve 20 and 65. The Lions may be smart though that if NE wants the first overall to let them have it and save themselves the cap space.

But then again, a deal for Cassel may not happen til after the draft.

IThe Lions may be smart...

Yeah, but Millen is no longer around. Even though some of his underlings are now in control, they are the ones that suckered Jerry Jones into trading a first and third for Roy Williams. Gotta giv'em a little love for that one.

New Stadium - 1 Billion dollars

Contract to Roy Williams - Several million dollars

Being PWNED by the Detroit Lions front office - PRICELESS!

I'm not completely sold on the idea that it's Cassell who will be let go if Brady's healthy...
