[Vertical Limit]

Cassel told Comcast SportsNet's Michael Felger on Thursday night that contract negotiations haven't begun, but he's open to returning in a reserve role.

"This is Tom's team," Cassel added. "The Patriots have been Tom's team. He's built that franchise up with his own two hands. He's the guy, and he was the MVP the year before. I realize that. He's been such a mentor for me that I would say, 'No, there is no quarterback competition.' But I've learned so many things from Tom, and hopefully it'll help me in my career."

Stay in NE, I don't want them getting a few high picks for a guy that's the product of a system. I think a guy who hasn't played a down of football since HS suddenly steps into a starting roll in the NFL and looks like a mirror image of Tom Brady tells you all you need to know about that system, hell Mike Vick could throw for 400 yards a game in that system.
