If no agreement is reached, Washington will have to make some $20 million in cuts March 2 to get below the 2006 salary cap.If an agreement is reached, the Redskins will have to make fewer cuts because the cap will be substantially higher. Brunell and the other veterans -- whom Gibbs did not name -- will not sign their new deals until there is definitive word on the labor situation.Free agency begins March 3.
