hypothetically, if cassel is out a couple weeks and croyle plays well in his absence (i think he can), can the chiefs place a franchise tag on him and try to trade him for possibly a 2nd or 3rd round pick in the offseason...it would be nice to acquire another mid-to-high draft pick as some kind of compensation..

the reason im asking this is because he is a FA after this season and he probably wants to go somewhere he can compete for a starting job
