D-Day Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 As expected with MB, good news with Frost. http://blog.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/ Posted at 5:37 PM ET, 02/26/2007 Brunell, Frosty The Punter and Redskins Insider T-Shirts I'll take care of the Redskins business first. Spoke with Mark Brunell today and got the impression a new, cap-friendly contract with the Skins will be done in a few days. He seems pumped to have a chance to come back. Also, the Skins told Frosty today that he will be tendered - the low tender ($850,000) - which secures his rights and essentially means he'll be back next season to try to build off his strong finish in 2006.

RedskinzOwnU Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 As long as this pay-cut is an actual pay-cut, and doesn't involve the amount "returned" in guaranteed money down the line, then I am OK with it. He better be forfeiting a lot of $$$ or I'd rather see him cut outright. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TaylorPickSix Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I actually thought Frost was pretty good last year stupidsuck, and he keeps on improving and he's still very young. Glad to hear about MB. I like him as a backup, just not as the starter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Day Posted February 27, 2007 Author Share Posted February 27, 2007 Agreed. I am just not sure that keeping MB is a value add proposition. His value to the franchise can be alot more if he takes a paycut, even if it is double the going salary of a backup qb, If he takes a pay cut to 2. mil (backups usually make around a mil) he will save us 3.2 mil off of the cap this year To outright cut him we save 2.086 mil and we have to sign someone to replace him. The best thing he could do is take a straight paycut to 1 - 3 mil Heck I wouldn't be surprised to see a mil salary with a 3 mil bonus, That would save us around 3.5 mil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good point and thanks for the numbers. The question is, will he take the paycut? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raub Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Brunell owes us a paycut and a refund for half of last year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Lloyd Christmas Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 frost is good, nobody gives the guy credit. most of his punts were solid, plus he plays with passion. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

myzhi Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 There's no way MB is taking a pay cut. Why give back money when it could be his last chance to make NFL money. It's probably just restructuring the contract to save cap room. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DP Redskin Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 I think brunell should take a big pay cut if he wants to stay here. He is a capable backup, but he is getting older(isn't he about 40 HA HA). Plus we still have Collins as a backup. Frost getting a contract tendered is a good thing he is a good young talent. He could be a redskin for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smalczak Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 As much as everyone seems to like Brunell as a backup, IMO I'd just as soon 'see the last chapter written'. Just close that part of the book and be done with it. I know part of it is simply that there is always that low-grade fear that Campbell will get some minor injury and out will trot Brunell and then he ends up starting 'to let Jason heal' or somesuch. Just cut the guy and let him try and sign somewhere else. I have the distinct feeling he would end up very disappointed on the open market.

It should be a take a cut or leave situation. JG will not insult MB so that is why it is generally believed by people in better positions to the FO then me that he will get around a 2.5 mil salary this year, which is two and half times the going rate of a backup qb.

jimster Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 Yeah Why did he get pissed in the first place? he kept getting ready to kick-off and the ref kept stopping him - like three times. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BurgundyMalaise Posted February 27, 2007 Share Posted February 27, 2007 frost is good, nobody gives the guy credit. most of his punts were solid, plus he plays with passion. Yea because his "passion" only cost us 15 yards. What a dumbass for takin off his helmet. I love passion from the 'Skins but I think punter is an exception.
