They can trade him for draft picks or the LB you speak of, and sign or draft a backup QB.
Tom Brady is a once in a generation player. If Belicheck can turn Cassell- a guy who hadn't started a game since high school- into a good starter, there's no reason he can't do the same with another draft pick.
Letting a good backup like Cassell get away is a bit of a gamble. Getting rid of Brady in his prime and banking on Cassell to fill his shoes would be one of the dumbest moves in NFL history.
