Brunell and Redskins Reportedly Close to Restructured Deal

[SmootSmack]

"In such a deal, Brunell, 36, likely would end up with a considerably lower cap figure, with a portion of his salary converted into a bonus, and a base salary closer to $1 million. Although he would make much less than $5.2 million, he would have job security for next season and some guaranteed money from the new bonus. Base salaries are not guaranteed in the NFL, and each team must fit under the $109 million salary cap."

gee im glad he agreed to restructure.... that'll help a little with our cap problem maybe well get clements and fletcher afterall....id still like the idea about the vilma for betts trade if there is any truth to it

[That Guy]

but more importantly, we tendered punter derrick frost, so his services will once again be available for our beloved franchise .

this should save a little over 3mill this year, but that's still a ways off from having enough for dockery/fletcher/clements/te?/de? it says they're looking for.

might be able to get fletcher, dockery, an either bly or smoot though with a very cheap TE (or vet min OG/OT to convert).

Do you really want Brunell just to up and leave and give up all that money. He is our backup, I have no problems with him being a backup he's been here so he knows whats going on. I dont know what you want him to do, its like if people had this type of money they'd walk away from it.

Let me spell it out for all the bleeding heart Brunell guy's, the post was a knock on Gibbs and his insistance to keep Brunell on the team, Brunell doesn't make that decision, Gibbs does.

The fact that he will even backup, to me is a joke, how about we become a real organization and start bringing in young talent and start grooming other QB's? Rather than hang on to Gibbs 43 million dollar debacle. Brunell has proved he's shot, so now I am to believe he's going to be better next season when he's a year older? He's scared to death to take a hit, that fear only gets worse with age, not better. Yea that's all we need JC to go down and Brunell ready to take the reigns and lead the team to victory with Gibbs on the sideline creaming his pants. Sorry coach Gibbs the only I told you so about this Brunell signing from the get go comes from me!

He keeps restructuring and yet you still hold onto the $43 million argument? And just how many young QBs do you want to groom?

I'm not big on brunell, but think he would be a more then adequate backup

Thats fine but why be hard on Brunell about his contract? Its not his fault that the FO threw the bank at him. He did what any other QB in his situation would have done he took the $$. Fine be hard on him about his diminished QB skills and what not but you shouldnt hate on him because he went for the $$...
