Mark Brunell a June 1st cut!?!

[Nublar7]

I heard this over at the ESPN message board. Does anybody know for sure if he will have to wait until June 1st to be cut from the Jags? I hope he gets cut in March otherwise he will miss the QB schools like Griese did.

I believe he has a $2 million roster bonus due in March. He will likely get released prior to the due date

Can teams start releasing players now, or do they have to wait until after the Pro Bowl?

Definitely after the pro bowl. Trading doesn't start until FA period starts beginning of March

I believe it's at least after the Pro Bowl. I think the date is February 15th.

correct as usual

Brunell is due a $2 million roster bonus in early March and has a base salary of $6.5 million for the 2004 season.

Jacksonville likely will release him in an obvious salary-cap move, probably by the end of the month
