The Patriots traded QB Matt Cassel, who thrived as their starter this past season filling in for the injured Tom Brady, to the Chiefs.
New England sent Cassel and veteran LB Mike Vrabel to Kansas City for the Chiefs' second-round selection, 34th overall, in the NFL draft in April, the teams announced.
The trade is contingent upon Cassel and Vrabel passing physicals, according to the Chiefs.
