Finally David Patten jumps to $3 million in 2007 so he is also a cap cut too I would think.

Brunell will cost 6.6 mil. if he's on the team next year. If we cut him before June 1st he'll count 4.3 mil. in DC. however if he's released after June 1st, he'll count 1.5 mil. a saving of 5.1 mil. which would apear to make him a prime candidate to be released. Springs must think seriously about restructering as well as Patten, otherwise they too could be considered candidates for release. However much depends on what happens the remainder of this season.
