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

Too all you Brunell haters.

Maybe from now on you will learn to wait for the facts, or at least both sides of the store before you go and shoot your mouth off.

I just read this quote from Gibbs that said "That Mark[Burnell] and others team members are working cooperatively with us in renegotiations, Approching the matter like the veterans and team leaders that they are. We will get throught this". Sounds like a man with a plan!

I am sorry and I am the first to say so! Still think we should not let Ramsey go for a six pick as well! Never didn't like his play-Burnell. Just couldn't see why he wouldn't help the team! He is a great guy and a team leader!

Given the recent unrealiability of the Post, we might have to wait until Redskins.com posts articles before we comment on any developments in the news.

just read something on redskins.com that they just finished redoing brunells contract, no numbers but he was angry at the post for using him in their petty little wqar with the skins.

This is HUGE. I like in the bottom of that article where it says that ohters on the team are working as well with the team. Does anyone know the actuals and how much he will save us? HOpefully some more team guys will be stepping up.

not much. maybe 212k-1.272m unless he gave back millions and millions of actual money.

Redskins_P · 03-01-2006, 06:07 PM

Hopefully Arrington is one of the guys stepping up......

This is a great move by Mark. I will retract the negative statements I made. I was more upset that he wasn't getting the same sh*t that other players get when they are percieved as selfish, but whatever. I'm glad he did this and I commend him for helping out the team.

Makes no sense to me. This is up-front cash. If he gets cut next year, he keeps the damned money. There must be more to it than just a simple conversion.

He's guaranteeing this year's salary. Of course, this year's salary is already guaranteed (since it would cost more to cut him than keep him). Restructuring the deal also makes it more likely that he will be cut in 2007. Re-read some of the earlier posts and you'll understand it better.

I'm tempted to start a new thread so this news doesn't get lost in the shuffle, but according to profootballtalk.com (I know, take it with a grain of salt) CP's contract has been restructured as well:

"At a time when the Washington Redskins are facing a potential salary purge that, by some estimates, could leave them with roughly 25 veterans under contract, we're told that the team has restructured the deal of running back Clinton Portis in order to create some cap room. Specifically, a sizeable roster bonus owed to Portis has been converted to a guaranteed payment, which spreads the total value of the money over four years. Portis' contract expressly authorized the team to make the move."

Sheriff Gonna Getcha · 03-01-2006, 06:28 PM

Portis has a $3 million dollar bonus this year. But I didn't think the bonus could be spread out over 4 years. I'm probably wrong.

Other guys scheduled to get big bonuses are: Arrington ($6.4M), Samuels ($4.5), Springs ($3.1), Griffin ($2.5), S. Taylor ($2.2), and Rabach ($2.2).

Sorry, I didn't have time to read all 12 pages.
