They think Cassel's salary is guaranteed if he's on the roster this Sunday. It's next Sunday. Although the guarantee may kick in at 4PM Saturday.
A team can still cut a vested veteran next week & not guarantee his salary.
Here's the most definitive article I found on the subject, from the 2013 season: http://www.bleedinggreennation.com/2013/9/7/4703146/eagles-vested-veterans-contracts-guaranteed-NFL
Here's another one from last year written on the Saturday (1 day) before the season started. It's pretty clear the veteran's salaries aren't guaranteed early in the week. http://www.profootballrumors.com/vested-veteran-salary-guarantees/
