I'm wondering the same thing Twilbert07 03-01-2006, 04:12 PM Whether anyone thinks Brunell faded at the end of last season, and whether they think he should be our starter next season, you have to give him credit for being a good team player and a good man. That Guy 03-01-2006, 04:15 PM if its a restructure (base salary -> bonus and not giving money back) every 500k only saves 200k in cap space. his vet min has to be close to a million, so he could give up to 3mill back and save about a max of 1.2mill for this year, though i doubt its that high. without a new cba, thats up to 3 starters.

Brunell's base salary this year is $4 million. If he coverted $3 million into a signing bonus, wouldn't that save us $1.5 million in cap space? RedskinPete 03-01-2006, 04:22 PM I Just read it on Redskins.com!!! I will say I am sorry for saying anything bad about him in this post!!! He said that he has alway been about the team!!! We the leader has shown the way let the rest fallow! THANKS MARK!!!! That Guy 03-01-2006, 04:22 PM Brunell's base salary this year is $4 million. If he coverted $3 million into a signing bonus, wouldn't that save us $1.5 million in cap space? no (i gave an example in a post the cap threads). here's how a rework (salary -> bonus) has to work. he gives back 500k in 2006, and to comply with the 30% rule, that means he'd have to give back 650k in 2007. that means 1.15million bonus which can only prorate over 4 years. 1.15mill / 4 = 287.5k a year in bonus. 500k - 287.5 = 212.5k actual savings, or about 40% of what he reworks. the 30% and extra base salary you're forced to turn into bonus (from 2007) makes restructuring much less useful now than in previous years.

Yup, forgot to account for the 30% rule. Duh. Thanks. That Guy 03-01-2006, 04:24 PM other people have stepped up and helped rework contracts on the skins, no one has said who or how much yet (espn update on 980). Sheriff Gonna Getcha 03-01-2006, 04:26 PM other people have stepped up and helped rework contracts on the skins, no one has said who or how much yet (espn update on 980). It's gotta be either Thomas, Washington, or Jansen ... right? At least, those guys are the prime candidates for restructuring. I figure we'll be able to squeeze roughly $3 million out of restructured deals. Is that what you get?
