This whole discussion is useless. If Cassel is good enough, he'll get a good contract offer from some other team next year (assuming he doesn't resign with the Patriots) and the Patriots will get a corresponding compensation draft pick. That's it; end of discussion.
It's stupid to even consider placing either the franchise or transition tag on Cassel at this point because he is not worth anything like that. If you franchise tag Cassel, he doesn't have to wait around looking to get an offer from another team; he (immediately if not more quickly) signs on the dotted line (while muttering under his breath, "there's a sucker born every minute).
Now, if you transition tag Cassel, he (immediately if not more quickly) signs on the dotted line (while muttering under his breath, "there's a sucker born every minute). Either way, the Patriots get to (over)pay many guaranteed millions for a backup QB.
