Pay Raise

With job losses seeming to grow by the second many people are fearing for their jobs and where the next pay cheque will come from.

Matt Cassell was just given a hefty pay raise. After receiving the Franchise Tag by the Patriots, he will get paid a nice $14.65 million for the next NFL season. Not too shabby since he was getting paid $540,222 for leading the Patriots to a 11-5 season.

He is still open for other teams to sign him and at the age of 26 (turning 27 before the season), he could easily be signed by another team, especially after a year he had with the Patriots.

Jumping from $540,222 to $14.65million, sweet.
