They resign (among others) Matt Cassel Just a quick note on English usage... 'resign' does not mean 'sign again'. It actually means almost the opposite - 'to give up a job', or 'to accept a bad outcome' Ok, thanks for the lesson 
Re-sign is better, i guess..? Why you don't use "sign again"? Yeah, that surely is possible, but I was just curious about the word re-sign.. I am pretty sure I saw it in multiple sources when Cassel was re-signed  |

I am pretty sure I saw it in multiple sources when Cassel was re-signed what i found: re-sign/riˈsaɪn/ Show Spelled [ree-sahyn] Show IPA verb (used with object), verb (used without object) 1. to sign again. 2. to renew or extend a contract. |

I found this: About resign vs re-sign Athletes who renew their contracts re-sign with their teams (note the hyphen). If they were to resign they would do the opposite—leave. |

I am gonna edit my post now 're-sign' works ok with the hyphen - though 'renew' feels better There is a pronunctiation difference too: Resign is pronounce rezyne - the 's' is a 'z' sound Re-sign is pronounced ree-syne, the emphasis on the ree and a softer 's' |

I am aware of both meanings and pronunciations, but I just did not realize, that I used the wrong alternative |
