Brunell Reworks Deal (FKA "Brunell Reluctant to Renegotiate Deal")

Since we're just chatting here...an off-topic tidbit:

The Miami Herald reported today that Oakland was the third team interested in Ramsey but their interest doesn't appear to be as strong as Miami or the Jets.

yeah, i think a lot of people figured they'd be interested... that tsioptsoipto kid they got is terrible and collins is too expensive for them.

Yeah, unfortunately he may be a cap casualty. He is a great special teamer. I'd like to see him stay.

if no one restructures, we're looking at fielding a 47 man roster next year. yikes.

Yup, about 40% of whom are rookies.

34/47 = 72.34% 1st year rookies

as opposed to the more elusive 2nd year rookie types.

yay, that means we can keep samuels and maybe washington and only have 32 rookies on our 47 man team!

I guess I didn't realize we needed that many rookies to get under the cap. I thought the number was closer to 20.

A lot of us owe Brunell (most notably myself, for starting this thread based on the WP article) a gigantic "thank you....I'm sorry."

TheMalcolmConnection · 03-01-2006, 05:03 PM

SORRY MARK. Please reread my apology note I wrote last year.

articles have been stating that, but if we cut all 56 players that would save us money and replaced them with 1st year guys, we'd still be 1.4million over the cap (its that bad). That's why the who would you cut thread was a fool's errand.

if there are more restructures or a new cba it won't be so horrible though.
