Since Gibbs still loves him so much, I'm guessing they'll keep him even if they can't get him to take a paycut. But they'll probably try to get him to take the paycut.
As for Archuleta, if we cut him before June 1, he'll count $9 million against our cap. He's scheduled to count $2.5 million in 2007 as it stands now, so going from there to $9 million would represent a $6.5 million jump. I don't think the team would take that approach, it's too limiting in 2007.

Well it looks like the Redskins will once again be the leaders in dead cap space. At least the cap rises to $116 million in 2008 so that will help some.
