2009 NFL Offseason

[Hooch]

Might as well kick this thread off with this whopper...

Pats to put franchise tag on Cassel

That's a ton of dough to invest in the QB position.

ridiculous, but Brady may not be ready...boo hoo
I thought he was going to becme a JET

That's what I heard. That Brady would not be ready for 2009 season. Pats have no choice.

Does anybody want to trade for Rex Grossman? I'll take a couple of old footballs, worn shoulder pads, a kicking tee. Anything to keep this guy out of consideration next year.

I would grab a QB off the scrap heap and put that $14M into supplementing an aging defense. Who knows if Cassel is the real deal or not.

I still don't understand how a college backup quarterback makes it to the pros.

Jake Plummer - 2009 Comeback Player of the Year!

30 Million per year for QBs it doesnt pass the smell test. I thought the rules were that you are not supposed to franchise unless you plan on keeping the player. It sounds like they are trying to handcuff Cassell so they can get something for him

I guess they can trade him after they tag him, but he is still guaranteed that salary from someone. What team would give up something in a trade, then be locked into that deal?
