Brunell is due to receive a $500,000 roster bonus on April 1, league sources said, and the Redskins would face a steep $7.165 million salary cap hit in 2005 if he retires or the team releases him before then; if Brunell is cut or retires after June 1, Washington would be penalized $1.93 million against the 2005 cap and another $5.7 million against the 2006 cap. Before this season began, many NFL executives believed the Redskins already were headed to a salary cap crisis by 2006.

This is exactly right Matty.
Like I wrote above I still think it makes more sense to cut Brunell after June 1 2006. It all comes down to when the Skins want to eat the bulk of the money, and 2006 would seem to be the worst time to do it, cuz our cap number takes a big spike that year. It would make more sense to eat the bulk of the money in 2007. Of course a lot will depend on the new salary cap figures.
