Pretty good inexpensive move http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/03/02/denver-continues-to-reshape-roster-agrees-with-dt-fields/

I think BB would give up the necessary picks for Peppers as long as Carolina wasn't crazy in their asking price. The real question is what could we get him for money wise, because I still believe he will be too expensive in his demands.

Jason Taylor just got released from the skins

Tomasse's an idiot. The pats would love to have Peppers, but he's going to be too expensive to get and keep. They would have to give up 2 1st rounders to sign him out from under the Carolina franchise tag OR whatever it would cost to trade for him if and when he signs the franchise tender. In addition unless he's willing to take a discount, the pats won't pay him what other teams would. The pats will focus on extensions with Wilfork and Seymore and shoring up their secondary.....then probably pick up another LB in the draft

Some insight into their cap number: http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/2009/03/randy_moss_cont.html

I never heard of TB and the Pats talking last week. The breakdown here was completely TB and Detroit's fault. The pats didn't have any takers yet for Cassel and needed to move him quickly to free up cap space to sign guys. They moved quickly because the free agents they wanted to sign might not be around long. It was after BB and KC had a deal in place that TB and Detroit came calling, and BB isn't going back on a deal....especially to his best friend. As a patriot fan this sucks knowing what could have been, but I lay this at the feet of TB and Detroit for not getting moving quicker.

I take this to mean Gammo thinks he could be the best pitcher in the AL east in September. Just September, not the whole year. Come September a lot of guys will be tired and wearing down, and if Smoltz does what the sox want and take it slow he could be fresh and pitching great. It's an interesting statement, certainly not the lunacy you make it out to be.

To quote Parcells: "If they want you to cook dinner, then you should be able to shop for the groceries" Bottom line is that McDaniels knows what he has with Cassel, and maybe he doesn't think Cutler will fit well in his system. The pats have done well by finding guys that will be able to function well in their system....not fine tuning their system around players. I heard on WEEI this morning that the Bucs wanted Cassel or Cutler....and offered a 1st and 3rd to the pats for Cassel. They made the same offer to the Broncos for Cutler in a 3 way trade, but they initiated all of this after Schefter was reporting a done deal with KC. If this is true it makes you wonder what took so long for Tampa to get their act together.

Wasn't he dating Eliza Dushku then....maybe that had something to do with being late all the time! Ironically she's a sox fan.
-
I would imagine that part of the trade was agreeing to terms on a longer deal with Cassel.....rather than the franchise tag.

$18mil between the two

I agree....The cap space is very important to be sure and it's a good pick

Reliable sourse: http://www.boston.com/sports/football/patriots/reiss_pieces/2009/02/trade_details_3.html Wow,,,,maybe Pioli has some compromising pics of BB or Kraft?

I agree on Schefter. The dawkins deal is voidable after two years so there's an out if needed. Here's the official report on Cassel from Schefter: http://blogs.nfl.com/2009/02/28/patriots-trade-cassel-to-chiefs/
