The club announced on Tuesday that it would re-sign the quarterback only three days after sending the veteran to the curb.
None of the contractual terms were officially released, but it would be appropriate to assume a pay cut of some sort was in order for Cassel to return to a field that includes E.J. Manuel and declared starter Tyrod Taylor.
Head coach Rex Ryan said during the offseason that it was his plan to keep three quarterbacks on the roster for the coming season. Cassel looked early on like he would lead that tangent, but was steadily outplayed down the stretch and finally unseated by Taylor after his performance against the Steelers in their third exhibition game.
The Bills released tight end Nick O'Leary in a corresponding move days after learning he made the 53 man roster, a list that apparently isn't as binding as he thought.
