It has happened before, but usually as some final gasp of desperation by a dying regime or something like that. The Dolphins and AJ Feeley come to mind. It's not perfectly analogous to the stated criteria, but Feeley wasn't in their plans just one year later, let alone two. He got pulled as a starter the same season they traded for him. WANNSTACHE~!
Sauto does have a point, though, about Cassel's contract. If you don't think they would cut him after two years, then you have to chalk up the specifics of his deal (equivalent* to 2 years of franchising [or 1 year franchised + 1 year RFA with no CBA]) as being some kind of happenstance.
I have trouble believing they'd cut bait on him so quick, but I also have trouble believing those numbers are just a coincidence.
(*it's actually a little cheaper)
