Minnesota Vikings Send QB Matt Cassel to Buffalo Bills

The Buffalo Bills continue to get a facelift to begin the Rex Ryan-era, this time trading for Minnesota Vikings quarterback Matt Cassel.

In return for Cassel, the Vikings will get two undisclosed draft picks, according to ESPN.com. The Bills are also expected to get a draft pick, along with Cassel.

Cassel is expected to compete with EJ Manuel for the Bills starting quarterback spot. Manuel was benched last season, in favor of Kyle Orton, who has since retired.

Cassel became expendable in Minnesota, after a fantastic rookie campaign from Teddy Bridgewater, who expects to be the Vikings quarterback of the future.

This isn't the first big move the Bills have made this offseason. Earlier in the week, it was reported that the Bills were sending linebacker Kiko Alonso to the Philadelphia Eagles for running back LeSean McCoy.

These deals cannot be finalized until Tuesday, March 10th, when the NFL league year officially begins.
