Commanders Post at The Warpath - View Single Post - Assuming he is injury free how long will Brunell play here

I know it is impolite to answer a question with another question, but I'm afraid I have to do that:

1. How big a signing bonus did Brunell get?

2. How long is the contract?

That will tell you when it matters least in terms of salary cap to cut him. As long as he is here and is not soiling the bed linens every Sunday Brunell will start.

Here's a potential problem:

Brunell does really well the next two years and the Skins make the playoffs and Ramsey only gets into 3-5 games in two years. Then, Ramsey's contract is up. Does Ramsey sign here where he has been shunned for two years and has missed out on his incentives or does he leave? If he leaves, you have a 35 year old Brunell and "whomever". Interesting...
