Brunell and the Cap: What do we do?
From the Post:
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 toward a salary cap crisis by 2006.
We've got some serious cap issues coming up, and Brunell is adding to the trouble. We have to re-sign Smoot. We've got to deal with Samuels' bloated contract. Who else? How can we hold our team together? Ack.
CANUCK, SAVE US!!!!
