Because he gives you 1 year of manageable play while you get your drafted QB ready? Because he gives you the possibility of drafting a QB and having 2 guys that might be franchise-caliber players? Because you kept him out of the hands of a division rival? Because you thought you could get him for a 2nd rounder and trade him for a late 1st?
What's the point of trading for Matt Cassel and making him you're QBotF if you're not going to give him a long-term deal?
