The Facts: After trading Matt Cassel to the Chiefs Saturday, the Patriots are at least considering bringing in another quarterback to audition as Tom Brady's backup. According to an NFL source, Ramsey visited the Patriots yesterday.

Diehards Line:Ramsey, 30, a 2002 first-round pick of the Redskins (No. 32 overall), is an experienced backup who could serve as competition for second-year signal-caller Kevin O'Connell, who would be the likely No. 2 if the season started today, and Matt Gutierrez, who is entering his third season.
