I was just wondering if CC or anyone else with better cap knowledge than me can comment on a couple of things.

2006 is often pointed at as our killer year but is it true that many of the roster bonuses due can actually be converted into siging bonuses at the time they come due spreading the hit over the remainder of the contract. So for example LaVars 6.5mil bonus could be pro-rated over the remaing 4 years of his contract? The biggest issue I feel is Samuels contract becasue it is comming up to the end where the big numbers become due.

Also what kind of a hit would the releasing of Brunell be in 2006? That would be year three and when he was signed it was said that the 7 year contract was really a three or four year deal given his age.
