I would refuse to sign without hiring an attorney to review it. That will cost you something but at least you will know what you are signing.

How about this? Say you're more than happy to consider signing it, but the company will need to reimburse you for reasonable lawyer fees so you can hire a lawyer to review the proposed assignment.

IANAL, but I suspect a key detail here is that you are hiring the lawyer, no your former employer, because that's crucial to having the attorney bound to represent your interests.

But again, IANAL, so I could be totally wrong.
