Brunell and the Cap: What do we do?

Let him be Ramsey's backup next year. Don't take the cap hit.

I personally trust Danny on this one. We have won every year in the spring with the way we go about signning free agents. They have consistenly shown others in the NFL how to increase revenue and seem to have a knack for creating cash and manipulating the money flow. This is one area where Danny is the king of all. We will have to cut players and that is to bad but that is what free agency and the cap makes you do. The players are pawns and they all state either they were cut for salary cap reasons or this is just a business. So they know when they sign these big deals that if they do not perform and there salary is to high they will be looking for work elsewhere but in reality they all know that they only have a few mores left in the league. So if we lose Samuels, Morton, Brunnel or even Smoot will it really matter as we will still root the the Skins and still pay for our seats.

I thought Ramsey would be starting by the end of this year anyway, so I figured Brunell would be on the bench counting his money. He will still be a good, if not a better mentor for Patrick as his back-up (almost like another coach). So I think they should keep him through next year, then cut him after June 1, 2005.

We are just going to have to take the hit. Maybe he could give back part of his signing bonus and Danny could hire him as a QB coach or something to make up for it.... (there are probably rules against that kind of thing though)
