Re: Brunell's Redskins future uncertain after surgury <div class='quotetop'>QUOTE </div><div class='quotemain'>Veteran quarterback Mark Brunell could miss the Washington Redskins' entire offseason program, and might not be ready until training camp in July, following Monday surgery to repair labrum damage to his throwing shoulder.The question of Brunell's availability in the offseason, coupled with his scheduled base salary of $5.2 million for 2007, leaves his future with the Redskins uncertain. The 14-year veteran lost his starting job to Jason Campbell at midseason, and the youngster will go to camp No. 1 on the depth chart, meaning that Brunell will almost certainly be asked to rework his contract.Brunell, 36, faces a grueling four- or five-month rehabilitation stretch on his left shoulder. And his base salary and the salary cap charges for 2007 are exorbitant for a player regarded as a backup. Washington officials are expected to approach several players about restructuring their contracts in the offseason. Brunell readjusted his contract in 2006 to help the Redskins. He is under contract through the 2010 season.Coach Joe Gibbs reiterated last week that he would like to retain Brunell for 2007. Doing so would give the Redskins a proven backup and provide a steadying hand for Campbell, the team's first-round selection in the 2005 draft.</div>http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/news/story?id=2725282
Re: Brunell's Redskins future uncertain after surgury I'm sure the Redskin fans here are just bummed.
Re: Brunell's Redskins future uncertain after surgury OH NO!! Nah, I really want him back. He's a good guy and a great/reliable backup and mentor for JC.
Re: Brunell's Redskins future uncertain after surgury The time he will miss isn't crucial for his future on this team, as he is just a backup now...
Re: Brunell's Redskins future uncertain after surgury He's a backup for any team right now, so yea, it doesn't really matter.
