Brunell Deal Done

Brunell wins games by not losing them. That could be the same for young Jason Campbell too. That's why we need to improve the defense so our QBs don't have compete in a shootout.

Updated Brunell cap info from LaCanfora:

We save $3.3 million in 2007. He agreed to drop his base salary all the way down from $5 million in 2007 to $820,000. In exchange, he'll get a roster bonus of $1.0 million, payable after minicamp.

That's a big drop in salary, especially considering that there are no signs that he got a signing bonus to make it happen. This is a straight up paycut, and doesn't put off any cap hits into the future. One might say, way to go Mark, what a team player. Of course, the Skins played hardball on this one. They surely said dude, accept a paycut or we'll drop you and you'll be lucky to make vet minimum. He surely saw the wisdom of taking the paycut.

But who cares how it happened, bottom line, that's $3.3 million, quite a bit of space.

so we are about 8.9 mill under the cap with some cuts happening tomorrow great

he is getting us out of a big problem here, i commend him for that. good backup for 2-3 mil and i guess we lose all the big cap numbers for the most part later down the line
