Cowboys get Cassel from Bills

Matt Cassel is headed to Dallas in a trade as the Cowboys try to bolsterBrandon Scherff Jersey their depth at quarterback while Tony Romo is sidelined at least seven games because of a broken left collarbone. The Cowboys acquired Cassel from Buffalo on Tuesday, sending a fifth-round pick in 2017 to the Bills. Both teams announced http://www.redskinsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Brandon-Scherff-Jerseythe trade, and a person familiar with the deal told The Associated Press what Buffalo received in return because the round of the pick wasn't disclosed. Brandon Weeden is expected to start Sunday at home against Arizona (2-0), but Cassel is a veteran with far more experience than the fourth-year pro. Cassel has 71 starts in 90 games over 11 seasons, not counting the opener this year when he took the first http://www.redskinsshopnfl.com/Authentic-Brandon-Scherff-Jerseysnap for the Bills with Tyrod Taylor lined up at receiver. The Cowboys traded for the 33-year-old Cassel a few hours after putting Romo on the injured list with a designation to return. The first possible game Romo, who was injured in last weekend's 20-10 win at Philadelphia, is Nov. 22 at Miami. He can practice again in six weeks, starting Nov. 4. Dallas (2-0) also putAmari Cooper Jersey defensive tackle Terrell McClain on season-ending injured reserve Tuesday with a toe injury sustained last weekend against the Eagles. The Bills acquired Cassel in a trade with Minnesota in March in what became their latest offseason quarterback shuffle. He provided the Bills with veteran depth and was given a shot to compete for the starting job along with Taylor, a free-agent addition, and former starter EJ Manuel. The three-way competition lasted until the final week of the preseason when Taylor was http://www.raidersnflprostore.com/Authentic-Amari-Cooper-Jerseyselected as the starter by coach Rex Ryan. The Bills then made a calculated risk by releasing Cassel as part of a cost-cutting move because his $4.15 million base salary was deemed too expensive for a backup. Days later, the Bills re-signed Cassel to a one-year contract with a $2 million base salary. Cassel said he turned down offers to sign with other teams to stay in Buffalo because he was familiar with the Bills' system and because he didn't want to relocate his wife, who was eight months pregnant.
