You know, Belichick may have become a victim of his own success. As my wise father says, "#$^& me once, shame on you; @#$^ me twice, shame on me". Perhaps the other GMs/coaches/owners have grown leery of anything coming from Belichick's direction. Every coach who's left the tree has failed; every player who's left the team for a big-bucks contract has underproduced. The mere fact that two weeks went by with nary a nibble for Cassel tells you that there was more to the other teams' worry than simply, "Is Cassel worth it?" I think they're afraid of getting Belichicked.
We don't know this either. For all we know, multiple teams may have been calling and only offering a 2nd rounder.
But I agree with your basic premise. I mean, how many more times are teams going to be willing to deal with BB after Randy Moss trade, Corey Dillon trade, Wes Welker trade. Sooner or later teams are gonna start to believe every deal made with this guy is destined to failure.
