…crap.

That is the speculation in Boston after the Pats send Matt Cassell and Mike Vrabel to Kansas City.

The theory is that the move clears the way for the Pats to send the #23 pick to Carolina in exchange for Peppers and be content with the #34 pick KC sent them. Vrabel functioned as a DE in the NE’s 3-4 at 6-4 260, so Pep in that slot is not completely insane. Still, sounds tricky to me, but we’ll find out soon enough.

Update: Had a dream that Carolina got an offer from the Vikings for Peppers. We report, you decide.
