- Well whether it's starting
or riding the bench, I'm quite sure Brunell is here in 2005 due to his contract. Probably 2006 as well.
- As for Gardner, I disagree that he is not a "Redskin". He's been here for a while and seems to finally have come into his own under Gibbs (ie he started catching the ball). IMO he's been as good or better than Coles this year. I'd love to keep him. But like I've posted before his contract is up after 2005. Since we're deep at WR I expect the Skins to trade him this offseason.
- Unless he restructures, Samuels is gone for sure in 2006. He can even void 2006 from his contract if he wants. He'll cost $10M against the cap in 2005, while his "deadcap" would be $6M if we cut/traded him. So it's basically a $4M cap savings if we let him go next year. But maybe he'll restructure.
