The Patriots wanting to waste no time franchising Matt Cassel, franchised him on the first day that they were allowed to. Now if any team wants to sign Cassel they will have to give the Patriots 2 first round draft picks. As much as everyone loves Cassel no one is going to come close to giving up two 1st round picks for this guy, but franchising him also buys the Patriots some time to his how Brady's recovery goes. There is no way the Patriots will leave Cassel on the roster unless something horrible happens to Brady, so look for the Patriots to start shopping him around from now up until the NFL Draft (April).
Cassel has to be a happy man today as he just went from making $520,000 in 2008 to $14.65 million for the upcoming season. I wish my job would give me raises like that. Anyways, good for you Cassel you deserve it.
