New England Patriots Trade Matt Cassel to Kansas City Chiefs

The New England Patriots have traded quarterback Matt Cassel to the Kansas City Chiefs, completing a deal that began with linebacker Mike Vrabel to K.C. for the Chiefs second-round pick (#34 overall) in the 2009 NFL Draft.

Cassel filled in or an injured Tom Brady last year and led the Patriots to an impressive 11-5 record but the club missed the playoffs. In his first year as a starter the former USC Trojan threw for 3,474 yards and 21 touchdowns. For his effort he was rewarded by the Patriots with a non-exclusive franchise tag that would have paid him at least $14.65 million next year. Cassel accepted the tag but the Patriots had not offered a contract and opted to send the QB to the Chiefs instead.

Vrabel had spent eight seasons with the Patriots and was part of three Super Bowl victories with the team, 2001, 2003 and 2004.
