I don't really follow football, but I'm curious how much money Cassel made because of Tom Brady's injury...
What did he get paid this year?
What will he get paid next year and beyond?
What would he have likely been paid next year had Brady never been injured?
Not sure of the exact numbers, but my guess is that he made something like $1 million this year, give or take.
And based on his preseason performance, it would have been questionable whether he would have even been in the league next year, let alone getting a raise. If that had been the last time other teams had seen him, I can't imagine too many of them would have been jumping at giving him a roster spot. And it was widely speculated that the Pats wouldn't be resigning him (although these are the same people who speculated about the Pats bringing in a guy like Culpepper...so they could have been way off on that as well).
Suffice it to say that Cassell made himself a career this season.
