I'm going to take a guess and say that the QB situation in Atlanta was anything but certain, whereas New England knows they're getting back an elite QB. Atlanta had a lot more leverage because they had major incentive to keep Schaub on the roster. I think NE tried to play it like they really needed Cassel because Brady was maybe not 100%, but I don't think any teams bought it--I imagine most teams knew that Cassel would hit the open market if NE couldn't work out a trade.
