Bye Matt!

The fruitful Matt Cassell era is over. The Pats got the Chiefs' second round pick, which is pretty good. Everyone was holding out for a first-rounder, but this deal gives us THREE second-round picks, which gives us a shitload of trade options and other stuff. This also takes Matt's enormous cap number off the books so we can go chase some good-ass free agents or make a bomb trade (Julius Peppers anyone?). At this point I'm not gonna question anything that Belichick does. I'm sure this will work out when we draft 4 sick young defensive players who fit the system perfectly and form the foundation for the defense of the future. I'm not worried at all. This deal was decent--again, a first rounder would've been nice--but what comes out of it will most likely be very very good. Besides, we drafted Cassell in the seventh round, and turned him into a very high second rounder (34th overall). Not a bad investment.
