Cassel led the Pats to victory – Matt Cassel made his first start as QB, in place of the injured Tom Brady, as New England beat the New York Jets 19-10.
After the NFL draft – the Dallas Cowboys had 8 trades, added 7 players, including controversial Pacman Jones, and picked up two picks in the 2009 draft.
The Cowboys went 13-3 in 2007 but were ousted by the division rival Giants in the divisional round of the playoffs. The Cowboys have spent the entire offseason trying to find pieces that would push the club over the top in 2008.
Let’s see how they’ll do…

Favre’s number four shirt will be retired.
The Green Bay Packers are going to retire Brett Favre’s No. 4 shirt during their season opener against the Minnesota Vikings on September 8.
Former quarterback Favre, who is 38, holds almost every NFL passing record. He announced his retirement after 17 seasons in the NFL.
Favre is now the sixth player in Packers’ history to have his shirt number retired.
The others players are: wide receiver Don Hutson (No. 14, 1951), fullback Tony Canadeo (No. 3, 1952), quarterback Bart Starr (No. 15, 1973), linebacker Ray Nitschke (No. 66, 1983) and defensive end Reggie White (No. 92, 2005).
All five of those players are enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
There were rumors that Favre was having second thoughts but these proved to be groundless. “I have made the right decision” Favre said earlier this month.
Some weird news on the NFL front – Denver Broncos wide receiver Brandon Marshall has suffered an arm injury after slipping on a McDonald’s cheese burger wrapper. It was stated NFL.com stated that Marshall put out his hand to brace his fall, and it went through a TV entertainment centre. He then fell back on a table, where a family were having a meal, and ended up on the floor covered in chocolate milkshake.
The security footage was later seized by Marshall’s entourage.
Marshall is coming off a breakout 2007 season in the NFL with the Denver Broncos, when he hauled in a career-high 102 receptions for 1,325 yards and seven touchdowns. It is reported that he may be out for up to 3 months.

Some breaking NFL news on the Miami Dolphins. It was announced on Friday that Wayne Huizenga has agreed to sell 50% of the Miami Dolphins to real estate developer Stephen Ross.
The deal is subject to NFL approval. Financial terms were not disclosed.
Under the terms of the deal, Ross will be an active partner with the possibility of becoming a managing general partner in the future, but Huizenga will continue to run the franchise as managing general partner.
The sale continued months of chaos and upheaval within the Miami Dolphins franchise.
Ending of a miserable 1-15 season in 2007, coach Cam Cameron and general manager Randy Mueller were dismissed.
Huizenga hired Parcells as executive vice-president of football operations; he has overseen a complete rebuilding project, hiring Jeff Ireland as GM and also installing Tony Sparano as head coach.
Lots of other changes have taken place throughout the franchise, and Parcells has most recently wanted to rebuild the roster by releasing seven-time Pro Bowl linebacker Zach Thomas.
