All the smart people that think Cassel has the worst contract we have handed out have short memories as well. You need to go look at Pat Surtain (also gave up a 2nd round pick), Ty Law, and Kendrell Bell's contracts vs contributions.
Cassel still has a chance to earn his money. If he doesn't it will be a 2 year deal. Big whoop.

Agreed. The way they structured the contract, allows us to move on, if it doesn't work out.
If we decide to keep him, it also allows us to have paid alot of the money upfront, allowing us to not be hamstrung by the cap for fiuture acquisitions.
I fail to see the problem.
