Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick

We got robbed!!!!! I am so pissed. We could have got a 3rd rounder!! This blows!!! WHy!!!!!why!!!!WHYYYYYY!!!!!!!! Why.

What? Were are lucky we got anything at all. Most teams were offereing a steak and cheese.

Now if we could only find someone stupid enough to take on my boy B. Llyod.

Did I say third? I think Arch was not used very well, but I was joking. Geeeez!

OK, the Archuleta trade lowers our available cap room by 6.72 million for 2007.

However, our cap numbers are lowered in the remaining years of the deal by the following amounts:

2008-3.8 million
2009-5.8 million
2010-7.8 million
2011-7.8 million
2012-5.8 million

Total saved: 33.28 million
Total cost of release: 9 million
Net savings: 24.28 million

Archuleta made 10.5 million from us total over his time here, 1/3 of the total value of the contract.

The biggest thing here is that, according to ESPN we got rid of his contract. I dont know what that shakes out too cap wise, but i'm pretty sure (again could be wrong), that we take his hit this season and free up some cap room next season. With Cooley being a free agent at seasons end, thats a HUGE PLUS.

How much cap room do we have now?

So does this mean that we have 6.72 milion extra in cap room for 2007?

So how much did it cost the Redskins to trade him? Yes we get a 6th pick that is a very low one but what did we have to pay?

How much cap room do we have now?

We dont know, not untill we find out how they reworked his contract

So does this mean that we have 6.72 milion extra in cap room for 2007?6.72 LESS cap room for 2007.

We gain cap room in all future seasons.
