The Buffalo Bills have been very busy over the last couple of days. First they agreed to trade for LeSean McCoy and now after losing out on Josh McCown, they have agreed to trade for veteran QB Matt Cassel.
Bills have acquired Matt Cassel, team announced
— Mike Garafolo (@MikeGarafolo) March 4, 2015
Cassel was a three year starter from 2008 to 2010 but since then has not played in more than nine games in a season and has started in less games every year since 2010.
2014 was Cassel’s second year in Minnesota and he played in just three games. In those games he completed 57% of his passes and threw 3 TDs against 4 INT. With Teddy Bridgewater’s emergence in Minnesota, Cassel was expendable and the Bills were in the market for a QB.
Here’s the details on the trade from NFL.com:
The Bills announced Wednesday they’ve agreed to a trade with the Vikings to acquire Matt Cassel.FOX Sports reports the Bills will also receive a sixth-round pick in 2015 in exchange for a fifth-round pick in 2015 and a seventh-round pick in 2016. The trade will not become official until the start of the new league year on March 10.
Cassel will count $4.75 million toward the Bills 2015 salary cap.
