Fantasy Football Diehards Line:
With a $2 million roster bonus due on Friday, Bruce apparently declined to accept a pay cut proposed by the club, leading to his release. Bruce, 35, was due $5 million overall -- $3 million in the form of base salary for ’08, plus the $2 million roster bonus. The team’s final offer to Bruce apparently was $3 million -- in other words, the base salary minus the roster bonus. ... According to recent reports out of San Francisco, the 49ers, with former Rams HC Mike Martz now running the offense, will be interested in Bruce.
