The Kansas City Chiefs seem to have resolved their starting quarterback issue.

The NFL Network’s Adam Schefter reports the Chiefs are expected to trade for New England Patriots QB Matt Cassel on Saturday.The teams have agreed on compensation, according to Schefter, but no details of the deal were immediately available. Cassel would see some familiar faces in Kansas City. Schefter also reports Patriots linebacker Mike Vrabel was in Kansas City on Friday undergoing a physical so that he can then be traded to the Chiefs. Vrabel later confirmed the trade in an email to The Boston Globe. Cassel and Vrabel would be playing for new Chiefs GM Scott Pioli, who was hired in January to oversee the teams football operations after nine seasons in New England.

The Patriots designated Cassel with their Franchise Tag on Feb. 5, guaranteeing him $14.65 million next season. Cassel saw the first meaningful action of his career last season, taking over for the injured Tom Brady in Week 2 and starting 15 games, completing 63.4 percent of his passes for 3,693 yards and 21 touchdowns with 11 interceptions.
