Below's a link to a list of 2004 QB salaries. Brunell's contract does not seem that out of line when you look at other over paid QB's.
Also Skins made a quick high offer to Brunell because at the time there was a lot of teams looking to sign a sold veteran QB. If you remember correctly Dallas and the Giants were two of the teams looking....If we low balled Brunell and say he signed with the G-Men guess what, last year could have been the Kurt Warner or Drew Bledsoe ERA for us. (think about that for a second)
Brunell's playing at a pro bowl level this year, so its hard to argue with the money we gave him. Bottom line is were 5-3 right now lets enjoy and stop dusting off the sour past looking for arguments.
