Is there a contingency plan for Brunnell and the money/cap room at the end?

[CrazyCanuck]

Here's the dead money situation if Brunell is cut/traded prior to:

2005 - $7.167M
2006 - $5.733M
2007 - $4.300M
2008 - $2.867M
2009 - $1.433M
2010 - $0

I be really surprised if Brunell wasn't here in 2005.

One possibility would be to cut him after June 1, 2006 which would leave $1.433M of dead money for 2006, and $4.3M of dead money for 2007.

I agree with Matty that this isn't a terrible cap deal - but then again the way he's playing...
