For every player who had a career ruined by a knee injury, there is a player who came back like they never got hurt in the 1st place (Carlos Rogers for example). Cassell is under contract next year. 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.

We can say the same about Joe Montana who was in his prime before injuries and Steve Young had him shipped to Kansas City, or Jaws for Cunningham, Rivers for Brees. Cassell is a free agent in 09 so their will be no trading for LB and btw did you just mentioned Carlos Rogers? Our Carlos Rogers. Yes he healed successfully but he aint gonna be a pro-bowler anytime soon.
