To those who want Brunell to restructure:

i hate brunellIts our front office we should hate. Can't blame a guy for taking money offered to him and we would have thought he was crazy if he did.

they can rework his deal pretty easy.

saves almost 2.8 this year...except i think the deadline is passed for making such a deal.

Seems you skipped over 2005 in your numbers. Brunell's 2005 cap hit is only $3.433M.

yeah disregard those numbers i had snafu with my excel. i suck.

these are better numbers and show that restructuring Brunell now does little for us

Brunell considers himself a starter and is not about to accept a pay cut. This is a situation we will have to live with. Be great if we could trade him.

Thanks for clearing that up BL, it's getting a little tiring to keep reading how Brunell should restructure.

Try 1000/1!!! Unfortunately were stuck with his worthless ass!!

juding by his salary, looks like he is gone after this season. His cap hit for cutting him next year is about what we would pay to keep him
