KANSAS CITY, Mo. (AP) — Scott Pioli pulled off a whopper of a deal in his first major transaction as Kansas City's general manager, landing quarterback Matt Cassel and linebacker Mike Vrabel for a second-round draft pick.
Not a package deal of draft picks, not the second-rounder and another player, not even with cash thrown in. A potentially franchise-building quarterback and a starting linebacker for one second-round draft pick. That's it.
The obvious question is: How did he get so much for so little?
Two days after the trade with New England was announced, there's still no answer. The Chiefs are mum on what seems like a monumentally lopsided deal.
The deal is done and everyone is moving on. It was quick, tidy and somewhat mysterious, very Patriots-like.
