I dunno. At first I thought it was imperative that the Chiefs sign Cassel long term right away. However, as the months have passed and the economy has tanked, I started liking more and more the idea that the Chiefs should just pay him for one year and see what he's got. If he'd proved to be the real deal, they could then offer him the big bucks. If he didn't prove to be the real deal, they could cut their losses and let him go. And, as a lot of people are thinking, if Cassel only has a so-so year due to the new schemes and the talent level around him, the Chiefs could've lowballed Cassel and said, "Well, gee, you didn't do really great, so howzabout we offer you a few mill per season"?
