[0:00]" If you had an opportunity this morning to read Peter King on SI dot com and Monday morning quarterback must reading I think every Monday of course that is in the paragraph in which he he rates his fine fifteen. From one to fifteen in the Patriots he's got a number seven this week. And Peter writes and I'm quoting now from Peters a piece today some clarity on the Matt Cassel free agency situation. The Patriots have until February 19 to determine whether to place the franchise tag on council. Whose contract expires after the season that gives them three months from today to decide write this down. The only way they'll tag Cassel. Is if Tom Brady's knee rehab takes a major turn for the worse to appoint the pats don't feel confident Brady will be ready to start the 2009 season. That's the because the NFL PA wall allowed teams to franchise players if they have no intention of keeping them. The Patriots won't be able franchise Cassel -- they intend to trade him. So barring a Brady set back expect Cassel to be a free agent. And end up making nine million dollars a year with pick one. Minnesota Detroit San Francisco St. Louis or whatever team Josh mcdaniels coaches in 2009. Should he be fortunate enough to get a head coaching job on."

[1:13]" On August 2 -- second half I agree with the the franchise stuff fund Matt Cassel but. I was calm down on Josh mcdaniels getting -- head coaching job that should he be fortunate enough to get ahead go well. Do you think -- why threat out there. Do you think he's. In the mix anywhere."

[1:33]" Well I I will say this and I've read this late last week on. Well I remember website pro football talk maybe. About the number of coaching jobs that are going to be. Available this this coming offseason it may be more than ever and it's not hard you look through the list of it Marvin Lewis Romeo Cornell yeah you know -- San Francisco. You're going to have a bunch of jobs open this year. And it may well be that you just recycling retract a lot of guys and you know shuffled the deck chairs on the Titanic it may be that a team. You know goes the route of the of the young up and coming coordinator. In this case to be real young. And up and coming Wharton and I don't think it's outside the realm of -- I I'd argue that."

[2:15]" I do I don't think he'd taken. So -- what would teams be interested sure I'm I'm always surprised. That more teams. Didn't come here earlier. In and try to nip this dynasty in the -- And you see a team being successful. I would go after everybody. -- Scott pioli has great relationship with the ability to see how much. How much money we can get Scott pioli for I would go after him I would have gone after Romeo -- long before Cleveland did. I would have gone after Charlie Weis. Long before he finally wound up at Notre Dame. Man Jeannie sure rob Ryan all these guys pepper Johnson you name it I am trying to raise the New England Patriots have no doubt. That the phone will be ringing but I think Josh mcdaniels sees himself still. As a work in progress he's an offensive coordinator and it get off -- Good office coordinator and NFL I don't believe that he believes. He's ready."

[3:21]" that may well be -- only point he has yet you know -- fortunate enough to get a job he may go to that team and say they back -- quarterback for him but anyway. Back to the point at hand which is whether or not you can franchise a guy in trade we mentioned that the Patriots did it with Tebucky Jones for instance. The rule with the NFL PA is that you can't franchise a guy. With the intention of trading it is a rule the NFL PA can fight it based on that rule. Here's the way they've always gotten around. You have to make a good faith attempt to sign that player to a contract. And we used Tebucky is the example here update Tebucky look we have been able to get a deal done with yet. You know we're going to franchise him but that's just so we can get this thing wrapped up here were protecting our rights you know we're gonna get a deal done. And then you know over the course of that -- sixty days to get that contract. If you don't get contract on within sixty days these franchise player in the that to bat. If you made -- good faith attempt. The NFL PA will never fight you then trading that. Even though technically they can't. Here's where they'll fight the Patriots situation. They know full well that no team in the national football Lee is going to have two quarterbacks on the books with salary cap numbers about ten and a half million dollars. No team is gonna is gonna do. And I have and sell seldane all that if you franchise Cassel. You do for one of two reasons one as Peter mentioned. Brady's rehab isn't going well and you better protect yourself because it doesn't look like he's going to be able to do what we thought he could. No indication that that's the case but that's one and the other areas we're going to trade him we're going to protect our rights franchise and then trade him to a team get -- back. They know that that those are the only two options they confided based on that. And they will in this case because. Barring -- of Brady rehab problem they know that the only reason your franchising mr. we."

[5:21]" Whether the Patriots are set in that category then. Because we've already heard stories about Tom Brady's rehab being delayed we've heard about. The infection -- multiple infections and you know using the washout procedure. And all types of speculation there -- doesn't know what the real story is the speculation actually. Helps the Patriots in this in this case so if you have. Tom Brady still not shore where he is. Around the scouting combine. Makes a lot of sense for the Patriots to franchise Matt Cassel they have the room to do it and then. Of course they would likely turn around a deal but if they were challenged by the NFL they could easily come back and say. We know what the hell's going on target."

[6:10]" And if you the Patriots here's how you get around. Not that -- they don't do this every single day down here you just do what you do every. Tom Brady is not available know when season no one talks to one. And around here you don't see him you know talked to him you might see his cap and is brace sitting in -- ball which you never see him is special. He's unavailable elect elect people -- their rampant media Spago you know I -- it's not going well who'll like your help. This could be career threatening all that's good for the Patriots -- Absolutely fine because then when the NFL says the NFL PA in this case says -- women win your franchise -- castle. At ten and a half million you've got Brady on the books at thirteen or fourteen whatever it is we're we're push in the BF but here and they say they -- we're not sure we got Tom Brady and any number next year."

[6:59]" Pretty surprising that we're even talking about franchising Matt Cassel this is the conversation we didn't think we'd have. A month ago."

[7:07]" And yet that's the situation the NFL PA can fight it. And probably will fight it in this particular case although generally speaking they let it go because the player gets what he wants the player gets a whole bunch money. The player goes on someplace where he can play everybody's happy. You know they don't have any beefs here they'll have a -- here. And Patriots the way to get around it is Tom Brady will just disappear -- but he hasn't already -- just disappear for humans are. All as well with a world so Peter is correct. But there have been examples of players franchised and traded when the NFL PA decides to turn a blind eye on its own rules. That's the situation."

[7:47]" I'll tell you what dale. That's why you get the big money. Actually. And I got all this is he was trying to get through security at Newark Airport and which with. I was kinda humorous listening to you know because he's he's in the security line at Newark Airport. And people like want to talk football all Edmonds. -- on the overreacting elect them and talk to meet -- Dale there's an error bread right here. I."
