So Matt Cassel goes to the Chiefs, along with Mike Vrabel, for a 2nd round pick. My first thought was, "why the heck didn't my Vikings pull off this trade?!" Well, after getting to think about it for a few hours, i think both sides made out. The Chiefs now have what they believe is the future of that franchise at QB, and the Patriots were able to clear off almost 15 million towards their cap.
Fantasy Football Roster impact of this trade?
Well, aside from Tony Gonzalez, the Chiefs are a relatively young team. Cassel will have arguably the best pass catching TE, and one of the best young receivers in Dwane Bowe. Who knows, maybe with all the moves the Chiefs have made, maybe LJ actually starts playing again. Cassel finished in the top 10 for Fantasy QB's. Now he won't have Randy Moss or Wes Welker, but he will be playing against weaker defenses in his new division. I don't see Cassels numbers dropping or rising dramatically with this trade, that isn't saying he won't do well. I think he should finish around the same spot as this year, anywhere from 8th to 12th in QB points rankings.
