I just wanted to say that before I got started... In this former post, I said the smartest move by the Chiefs would be to deal Gonzalez for Cassel plus some draft picks. Well the Tony Gonzalez part didnt happen but other than that, I look like the frickin man right now.
Cassel will do big things for Kansas City this year because they already have a pretty strong base of players with Dwayne Bowe, Larry Johnson, and Tony Gonzalez although I have expressed my feelings on the last two guys in prior posts I have done. In addition, now they feel no pressure in drafting Matthew Strafford/Mark Sanchez therefore they will go for defense.
Now I wonder if they are going to try swing a deal for Tyler Thigpen because he is probably an NFL starter I believe. They could probably get a fourth or fifth round pick to a team who could use a quarterback with some experience such as Detroit.
The Chiefs I believe you have to put them at the top of the AFC West right now with San Diego, and Denver kind of falling out of the picture. They have all the tools to shoot to the top of the AFC West and I really believe that Todd Haley was the perfect choice for the head coaching job too.

Cassel gets Tagged
It was announced today by the Patriots that Matt Cassel will have the Franchise tag on him which is If the designated franchise player elects to play for the team that designated him with the franchise tag, and does not negotiate a contract with another team his one year salary is guaranteed. Also its for a player with high-skilled importance.
I think this all boils down to that the Pats worry that Tom Brady will not be ready by the beginning of the year. Its a smart move by New England because it's likely the worst case scenario is that Brady will be ready before the trading deadline and if Cassel looks good for those first couple of weeks, some team will want to trade for him. Further, if Brady is ready by some part of preseason the Patriots can deal Cassel before the season starts. It really is the best of both worlds.
Just to update all of you curious on Brady's status, I got this from Wissports via NBC.com... "After the infection was detected [in October], Brady went through six weeks of antibiotics and surgical irrigation of the infected area. The infection finally cleared but as it currently stands, both the ACL and MCL remain "loose," the league source said. Meanwhile, scar tissue that built up in the knee as Brady's body battled the infection is still present and might need to be surgically removed." That doesnt sound promising if you're a Patriot fan.
