Big news.
Too bad for Tyler Thigpen.
Also, too bad the Pats didn't get stuck with Cassel.

I wonder if Thigpen gets traded now, there could very well be a team or two interested.

Big news. Cassel did great for us but we have Brady coming back and invested an early pick in O'Connell last year, this move made sense for both teams. I will always pull for Cassel, curious to see what we got for him.

Great move for both teams. Thigpen is white hot trash. I figured they'd keep him since they kept Gailey, but he really cannot read a defense or go through progressions...
Gonzo & Bowe isn't far from Welker & Moss, and it's not like the Pats' line was a shining star last year. The Chiefs are looking pretty good...they just need to load up on 3-4 DL's and OLB's, make a couple tweaks to the OL, and add another receiving threat.

I could see the Buccaneers moving for Thigpen. They seem to want no part in this years draft with all the picks they're moving.

I'm kind of surprised by the move. I thought with Gailey and the spread returning, that Thigpen would get the chance to improve on his solid performances towards the end of last season.
I wonder if Tony Gonzalez is part of the deal? Brian Waters? Grandmama?

The spread isn't returning. Gailey is still the OC, but we are implementing Haley's offensive system.
If it is a 2nd rounder, I can live with it.

We'll find out real fast how good a GM Pioli is. There were people calling Brady a one year wonder when he took over and led the Patriots to a Super Bowl, so who knows with Cassel.

I hope Kc plans to run alot of Shotgun, I don't remember Cassell operating much from under center, and he certainly won't have the type of options through the air that the Pats did...They still need a legit slot WR, and a RB of the future, I think they should look at Jennings or Andre Brown in the middle rounds to replace LJ and split with Charles.

Cassel is a solid starter in the NFL and I was extremely impressed with him last year. Good luck to him in the future, and smart move by Pioli to get a quarterback before trying to rebuild a team. History has shown us that teams rebuild much faster with a quarterback (Brees, Ryan, Pennington, etc.), and Pioli got his guy.

Sucks for Thigpen...
Probably the chiefs 2nd rounder this year, and a conditional 3rd next year.
