    Buffalo Bills add Matt Cassel

    From CBS Sports

    The Bills announced they've acquired quarterback Matt Cassel from the Vikings. Buffalo also will receive one undisclosed draft pick while giving away two undisclosed draft picks.Cassel, 32, won the starting job in Minnesota last year but suffered a season-ending foot injury Week 3 that required surgery.
    Cassel is signed for this season at $4.15 million. He'll compete with EJ Manuel and possibly otheres for the starting job in Buffalo.

    Following the Orton route...

    I kind of feel bad for Manuel, they might as well cut him after they hired the QB Killah as head coach.

    technically Cassel is turning into a poor man's Drew Bledsoe... whoever seems to replace him is doing well (enough).

    And we saw how well the previous coach handled him as well. Guy was out for a quick buck and lost.

    At what point do we hold him accountable for his own ability?

    Say what you will about Mark Sanchez, he had his only semi-competent years under this "QB killer".

    According to Walter Football:
    Bills acquire QB Matt Cassel from Vikings for draft picks
    Here's the composition of the trade: The Bills are swapping their first 2015 fifth-round pick for the Vikings' 2015 sixth-round pick.
    Minnesota will also receive a 2016 seventh-round choice from Buffalo.

    So basically Minnesota is moving up ~15 spots and gaining a 7th round pick next year... Guess its better than nothing.

    Considering we probably would've cut Cassel, that's well worth it.

    State of free agent QBs... Josh McCown and Matt Cassel were hot commodities.

    Matt Hasselbeck would have arguably been a hotter free agent QB even at his age.
