I think he just likes the idea of getting Cassel for a 2nd and only having to commit 14 MM to him. That's great for us bc if he turns into a good QB then we franchise him again or sign him to a long term deal. If he sucks, we can let him walk and we aren't committed to a huge contract with lots of guaranteed money.
That's much better than signing Sanchez who is a big risk to a big long term contract. Sanchez is not a only a risk bc of lack of experience but also because of his knees and possible injury problems.
