    I was being lazy and used assets instead of draft picks.

    My apologies.

    Because Cassell isn't garbage himself?
    Not you specifically, just saying.

      I don't deny that's he's bad but we needed a warm body for that spot, he's cheap as veterans go, and we only have a year on his deal. We moved back 40 spots in the draft and gave up the chance to draft the next CJ Ah You next year. I don't really see that as a big loss, and if they were concerned about being shot down by other FAs, I can see the logic of the move.

        Locker was playing GOOD football before he got injured last year.

        And the Titans are ranked at the VERY BOTTOM on a power ranking poll I just read.

          Shady is glad someone sees draft picks with the same value he sees them with..

            IMO after the 4th round picks are basically house money. Move them for veterans or take flyers on projects, but you shouldn't expect or rely on them to contribute.

              Wait til next week to make the trade if you can't sign a guy like Matt Moore.

              You can throw out a bunch of names and it's all interchangeable.

              I'm sure no one was banging down Minny's door to get Matt Cassel.

              I can see the logic of this move, if this is 3/12 and it's EJ and Tuel but not today.

                I love you Pink. I do. I agree with most of what you say, even when many don't. But you're wrong here. The Bills gave up nothing for Cassel. He IS better than any of the free agents (LINK). Maybe not by much, but he is. Plus he is under contract, so he can't say "no" to Buffalo. He is absolutely a warm body. Manuel sucks so badly, I'm so happy they got this guy. He can hand off. He's smart. See post #121.

                  Cassel may have been cut, and then we are in the same position that he might not be willing to come here. It's not really a big deal imo.

                    THAT is EXACTLY the point. This way he had no choice. It was done correctly.
