Breaking: Matt Cassel Traded to the Buffalo Bills

With the new league year a week away, the Buffalo Bills and new Head Coach Rex Ryan have started early in building their roster. After missing out on Josh McCown, who signed with the Cleveland Browns and uncertainty surrounding EJ Manuals ability to lead an offence along with this years Free Agent QB class being below par, Ryan has pulled the trigger at acquiring Cassel from Minnesota.

Cassel 32, only signed a 2 year $10 Million dollar contract to stay in Minnesota last offseason, is coming off a broken foot, which sidelined him for most of the season and saw him loose his starting position to rookie Teddy Bridgewater. Previously he has played for the New England Patriots and the Kansas City Chiefs and he appeared in the Pro Bowl in 2010.

The details of the trade remain undisclosed but it is believed to include Cassel and Minnesota’s 6th round draft pick in exchange for Buffalos 2015 5th round selection along with a 7th round pick in 2016.

For the Vikings, they save $4.7 million on cap space but will need to add developmental players to their roster as; currently Bridgewater and Pat Devlin are the only QBs signed to the team for 2015.

While the trade has been announced it can not become official until the new league year commences next Tuesday 10th March at 3pm.
