Feelings on Adam Archuleta can he cover his own shadow?

I would honestly give up a 3rd rounder to let us release Archuleta with no cap hit. Anyone know how much money we'd be out if we cut him? I believe we'd take about a $5+ million cap hit by releasing him (signing bonus acceleration - 2007 salary), but that's a rough guess.

Let Archuleta bulk up by 10-15 pounds this offseason. Move him to weakside linebacker--he can back up McIntosh next year when Holdman is let go.

No, no and no....we're not bulking up Arch to play him at linebacker. Too late for that shit. And we're not going to pay his ass $30 million to a be situational blitzer.

He needs to be traded or released in the most cap friendly way possible.

Arch actually didn't play most of the second half. Vincent was in on probably 80% of the plays. After the game on the Comcast postgame show they asked GW why Arch was on the bench for most of the second hald and GW was very diplomatic, stating that it was based on what "packages" were in for the play etc., but you could tell that he was obviously pissed about the last pass play.

If I were a betting man, I think you'll see Vincent in place of Arch on all passing downs, maybe more. GW was VERY high on Vincent after the game saying that Vincent has that "veteran instinct" and how TV was picking out stuff from Dallas's playbook etc.

Traded? Only one team in the league would trade for him--and he's already on the Skins. As for releasing him--not sure of the cap implications but I would think that would be difficult after one year.

He's better at the line of scrimmage anyway so might as well move him. I believe he was a linebacker in college also. And finally, Dale Lindsey could make him cry...

Just Cut him after the season

It's time for Shneed and Canuck to start explaining how much it will cost to rid ourselves of him.

Although he did make a nice tackle on teams.

What's frustrating is to remember Mark Murphy. he was maybe 6' 2" 200 lbs. He was always around the ball because he had the instincts to play the deep middle. They are either asking Archeletta to go against his instincts or else he doesn't have any. Brad Edwards was another one who made big plays with very little athletic ability, though his career was very short.

I think that with the cap hit associated with cutting him, it makes more sense to keep him as an overpayed blitz specialist and special teams player.

he's here for 3 years. the first three he's making vet min (but the prorated SB is added on for cap accounting purposes). releasing him would be about an 8mill hit, but after the third year (when his salary jumps from <800k to 4mill+) it'll make more sense.

unless we're clearing house or taking a year of total cap hell, he'll be one of the most expensive bench warmers in the history of the NFL.

Its pitiful, this guy just can't cover.

I said when we signed him that he lost his last job at St. Louis to a rook, and Rams fans were glad he was out of the line-up.

Workout warriers do not always morph into playmakers. Bad, bad FA!
