New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has fallen behind in his recovery efforts from knee surgery and could risk missing next season if another operation is needed, NBCSports.com has reported.


Brady, who underwent surgery Oct. 6 after tearing the ACL and MCL ligaments in his left knee in the first quarter of the team's first game of the season, had subsequent operations on the knee after it became infected.

That infection resulted in a buildup of scar tissue, which may require surgery on the knee, the Web site reported, citing an anonymous NFL source.

Wow, now what would they do? Resign Cassel? He's going to want starter money, and some NFL team will want to bring him in as theirs. I doubt he'd sign a 1 year deal with the Pats when he can get big money and be the future somewhere else. Interesting situation.

...say he misses two full seasons of pro football...can he return to top form again? He'll be around 33 then.

You know what, New England could also be trying to increase the trade value of Cassel by making it seem as though Brady will not be coming back. I could see them doing that.

They won't be trading him though. He'll either sign with the Pats to start, or go start in Detroit, Chicago etc.

Franchise tag my friend, then hes trade bait.

Fuck that. You don't tag him to trade him if Brady is still hurt.

Right, but the whole point of this post by me here,

would be that if they are doing that, Brady isn't as far behind and doing as bad as they are saying, and they are making it seem that way so they can up Cassel's value.
