Even disregarding cap concerns, teams won't pay Cassel BECAUSE HE'S NOT WORTH IT.

The Chiefs aren't signing free agents because we're not taking a Bronco approach to team building that assumes that every swinging dick out there is some how an upgrade.
Guess what: If new team A signs Cassel to an extension after trading for him, they can accelerate all of his bonus money up to the 2010 uncapped year, b/c they pay it out then anyway, and thus his cap number for the successive years becomes far more manageable, because you aren't carrying 1/6 or 1/5 of the bonus money tacked onto his base + any incentives.
