Sources told ESPN senior NFL analyst Chris Mortensen that the Patriots will use a franchise tag on Cassel that will give the team two options: Trade him ifall goes well with Tom Brady's rehabilitation from a knee injury or keep himbecause all is not well with Brady.
The Patriots' intention to franchise Cassel was first reported by the National Football Post.
That would mean the Patriots would have about $29 million in salary cap space tied up in two quarterbacks, with Brady earning almost $15 million and Casselguaranteed over $14 million.
However, the cap jumps to $123 million per team, which gives the Patriots $94 million to manage the rest of their roster.
