On behalf of holmester (who can't start a thread of his own yet, I had thought about starting this as well actually)

washingtonpost.com (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/03/12/AR2007031201380.html)

"Redskins Notes: The Redskins faced a deadline yesterday to exercise $5 million options on safety Adam Archuleta, according to league sources, and Lloyd. They executed Lloyd's option, but reached an agreement with Archuleta to push back his deadline. Both players are guaranteed the money in one form or another, but the decision to delay the move for Archuleta could be a bid to buy more time in order to trade or perhaps cut him."

So what does it all mean? Is he on the way out? Are they holding off on the option to see how much some other moves might cost? Is this much ado about nothing?

I can't see them taking a significant cap hit unless they restructure Springs' deal and that doesn't look likely at this point.

Definately something to keep our eyes on though.

archuleta played horrible last year, this we all know. however, what most of us know but cant see is the fact that archuleta is as hard a worker off the field as any player in the nfl and regardless of his performance (last year being the worst due to a new system), all of us fans can rest assured that he will bounce back.

my opinion is that he should stay. we'll get nothing for him if we were to trade and cutting him will cost us. if no one else will, i stand by adam and support him, he is a skin isn't he?

All that money and the cap hit we'd take to cut him, plus our emphasis thus far in the offseason on defense, might as well keep him around to see if we can squeeze some production out of that ridiculous contract he got. Keep in mind people that our entire defense, not just AA, stunk out loud in '06..

I say keep adam. We cannot absorb a major cap hit , likr the one that comes along with him being cut. and with any luck with our db situation he shud be able to make a difference this year

I don't understand why people keep saying we can't absorb Arch's cap hit. He has a 9 mil release fee, but is due a 2.5 mil salary. That means it costs the team 6.5 mil to release him. We have 10 million right now. Why did we push back other players salaries and not sign free agents unless we had a plan to release a big cap hit guy? As I have said before, maybe they have a deal in place to trade for Bly and need money for him, or if that doesn't work, they will cut Arch.

interesting scenario, I'm sure this is done sometimes w/players we just don't hear of it often. It would certainly seem that we're looking at all options, or maybe he & his agent are looking at ways to get him out.

I wonder how much of his play last year could be attributed to the supposed coaching rift between safeties & corners. Granted he's never been a cover guy, but it wouldn't help to have 2 coaches telling you to play 2 different ways. ST also was out of place & bit on a lot of play action fakes.

Loyd better shut up & play ball. I still wouldn't be surprised if he's either benched or let go by season's end.

AA could be traded to a team who use the cover 2 system and be quite effective (Bears) he has value for us to get picks. It' s not like he was a PR nightmare. I hope we package him with Springs to get houston's 2nd & 3rd round or something
