brisket question

Bought a brisket on Saturday and I am wondering how long can I keep it in the refrigerator before cooking or should I freeze it to be safe?
 
If it is cryovaced it should keep for a few more days maybe longer. If it isn't i would cook it soon or freeze.
 
Ed, I've wet-aged briskets in cryovac for 5 weeks, but that was out of a case that I knew the pack date on. Picking up off the shelf, you don't know the history of the brisket. That said, if its in cryo and you have a cold place to store it, I would say a week is a safe guess.
