In a move that comes as no surprise at all, the Patriots placed the franchise tag on QB Matt Cassel. The decision comes on the very first day teams could use the label on their own free agents. The designation means the USC understudy, who stepped up big-time when Tom Brady went down with a knee injury, could earn $14.65 million should he not get traded or come to some type of contract agreement with New England.
We've tossed this topic around previously, so I won't get back into the debate on New England's QB of the future. Instead, let's use this thread to talk about possible trade compensation should Cassel be traded. Unless, of course, you think Brady should be the one to go....LOL (sorry A-Train...couldn't resist)
So what about it gang...what could the Pats realistically expect to get in a trade?
