Cassel signs $14.65M franchise tender

Now that QB Matt Cassel has signed his $14.65 million non-exclusive franchise tender � the largest guarantee on a one-year contract in the history of the NFL � some around the league believe it�s 95 percent that he remains in New England.
The only way the Patriots would trade Cassel is if they know QB Tom Brady is healthy, and even if they do, the bidder needs to be to Cassel�s liking and offer a contract to his liking, or there�s no deal.

pretty big contract for a "back up" QB. I know that they want to play it safe and keep him around but, I wonder if they think Brady is gone for another season.
