If we were to cut Brunell after this season, we'd probably wait to cut Brunell until after June 1st so as to defer the cap hit (of about $6 million) until the 2006 season. Even still, its going to be a monster hit. I don't see us cutting him until June 1st of the 2006 season so as to delay the cap hit to 2007.
That said, I don't believe we should go after Brees. First, we've still got Ramsey and I don't want to change my screenname. Second, he's going to cost an arm, a leg, and a HIGH draft pick. Third, he's only played well in one half of one season. Stick it out with Ramsey.
I'd be much happier right now if we had let Ramsey progress and see if he will work out. David Carr, Joey Harrington, and Drew Brees have all improved by leaps and bounds. I wonder where Ramsey would be right now if he had logged the game time that those three have.
