The move means the quarterback remains a free agent, but the Patriots can match any offer made by another team or allow him to sign with that team in exchange for two first-round draft picks. http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=3887262&campaign=rss&source=NFLHeadlines
this must mean brady is behind on schedule or they're just too undecided on where he is... poor guy and all but they now have a ridiculous amount of $ tied up into their QBs.
While I hope this means that Cassell will be starting the season and Brady will still be on the sideline, I get a feeling in a few months the media will be gushing over how well Brady is doing and how the Pats managed to offload tagged QB Cassell for 2 firsts ... Ugh I hope not though.
