Most likely to be back with the team next year?

both will be back, unless they get rid of the salary cap...

I think they keep Arch, can Lloyd.

i think that all depends on our draft....if we make a blockbuster trade with det. or houston for williams or johnson,,i say he goes but if not he stays ....i really dont think thet can afford to let go of arch. i see them making taylor SS and letting arch do FS becasue taylor can do both unlike arch

Cap Impact:

Archuleta is scheduled to count $2.4 million in 2007. If you cut him, you take a $9 million cap hit, or $6.6 million more than what we currently have him on the books for. If you cut him as a Post June 1 cut, you bring his 2007 cap number down to $1.8 million, meaning you've created $600K in space for 2007. Then in 2008, you have to carry $7.1 million of deadcap money, which is $3.3 million more than the $3.8 million he's scheduled to count that year.

Summary: the Post June 1 cut makes it very doable, especially considering the cap should be around $116 million come 2008.

Lloyd's contract is almost identical. He is scheduled to count $2.4 million in 2007. If you cut him, you take a $9 million cap hit, or $6.6 million more than what we currently have him on the books for. If you cut him as a Post June 1 cut, you bring his 2007 cap number down to $1.8 million, meaning you've created $600K in space for 2007. Then in 2008, you have to carry $7.1 million of deadcap money, which is $2.9 million more than the $4.2 million he's scheduled to count that year.

Summary: Just as for Archuleta, cutting Lloyd as a Post June 1 cut is very doable.

It would really suck to carry $14.2 million in 2008 deadcap for two players. But the team could do it. We did something similar for Trotter and Coles. Each team is allowed to designate two Post June 1 cuts that can be released from the team before June 1. The team would get the Post June 1 cap benefits, while at the same time freeing Lloyd and Archuleta to pursue other opportunities.

I think Archuleta is surely gone. As for Lloyd, I just don't know. I could see him gone, I could see him staying.

After reading all about how bad the locker room situation is, how players are sick of how the Redskins treat outside free agents, and how much B Lloyd is disliked, I think the team really needs to can Arch and Lloyd just to reestablish a sense of justice and accountability in the locker room.

The team also needs to re-up with Dockery to show that it means business about keeping core guys here. I don't care if we have to pay Dockery more than Eric Steinbach gets, the front office and Gibbs need to show the players that the term "Real Redskin" doesn't mean "we like you, if you accept a discounted contract."

lloyd is under rated IMO and we cant afford the his with Queermo

I see Archie as a post June 1 cap cut for reasons that Sneed pointed out. Before the St. Louis game Sports talk 980 had a beat writer from St. Louis (who was actually a Skins fan) and he said Archie has a bad back and since he had injured his back he has not been the same player he was in his first couple of years in the league. He went to say that back injuries like the one he sustained are incrediably tough to come back from - why our FO could not see this before they gave him the largest contract for safety in history I don't understand.

I think the Skins will keep Llyod one more season to prove whether he belongs or not because you just don't give up 2 picks for a one year rental. That way if he does not pan out you can cut him post June 1 for the next year and spread you cap hits accordingly.

I think they're going to keep Lloyd in the doghouse for a while to teach him a lesson, then give him another shot. Honestly, I don't see how they dump AA this year. Keep him around and make him a special teams and blitzing DB expert. He isn't worth the money obviously, but they're sunk costs at this point. I don't think we need his roster spot that badly.

Nonetheless, I went with just Lloyd for the poll.

I voted for both.. If GW is the genius he thinks he is, he has a whole offseason to figure out how to maximize what talents Archuleta has.

I wonder how he can do that, seriously. Unless AA goes to Darrell Green's School of Coverage it will be hard to put AA in the game just as a blitz specialist. The other team will know every time what he's going to do and audible some counter. I guess at that point then GW pull AA back to counter that in which case AA is now stuck in coverage. He needs to be put in a position on the field that maximizes his tackling but minimizes his need to run up and down the field in coverage. Maybe GW can create a Weak MLB position?
