I'm definitely not against resigning him as long as it is equitable. He did not play well and shouldn't be paid as well as he was.

Matt Cassel agrees to new deal with Minnesota Vikings
Christian Ponder is in line to be the starter for the Minnesota Vikings as they enter the 2013 season. There's new company on the depth chart, however.
Fox Sports Insider and NFL Network contributor Jay Glazer reported Thursday that the Vikings have agreed to terms on a contract with Matt Cassel. NFL.com's Albert Breer reported, per a source, that Cassel picked the Vikings over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Cassel, who turns 31 in May, has a 29-33 career record as a starter with 82 touchdown, 57 interceptions and a passer rating of 80.4. Cassel spent the past four seasons with the Kansas City Chiefs, who recently replaced him as starter by trading for Alex Smith. Cassel was released earlier Thursday.
This is a smart move by the Vikings, whose lack of depth at QB was laid bare in the NFC wild-card round. Joe Webb struggled mightily in place of an injured Ponder in a loss to the Green Bay Packers.
Cassel represents a known commodity who's had past success with both the Chiefs and New England Patriots. Did he chose the Vikings over the Buccaneers because he believed he had a better chance of beating out Ponder than Josh Freeman?
Food for thought.
Another "big name" QB to become a free agent.
