Just giving you the business.

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

I'm surprised he wasn't here sooner. Sign him.

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

Title fixed.

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

Can't help but wonder if this has anything to do with the rumors the Cowboys are interested in him with T. Glenn down

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

I kind of thought they would bring in a secondary player to fill Jansen's roster spot. Is Stoutmire still available?

Probably that...and maybe someone to push B. Lloyd down the charts or all the way off.

I don't think they've officially IR Jansen just yet. But would you bring in another secondary guy or a decent wideout?

The Patriots and one could argue that he cost them the AFC Championship last year.

New England last year, and four years for the Chargers before that.

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

Caldwell in the building!!!

Everybody say HEEEYYY!

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

Reche Caldwell would be a great #3 wideout Lloyd doesn't have it anymore I wouldn't be surprised if we cut him next year if he doesn't produce this year.

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

I heard somewhere Caldwell is sweet on the turn tables. He and B Lloyd can rock the mic together in the replay booth on the corner of the sidelines.

Pray-Low and Fox are both knicked. And we're playing a team that throws 40 times a game. I think they could axe Bodiford to make room for Caldwell and get help in the secondary with Jansen's. I don't see them keeping Jansen up the whole year so he can be available for the playoffs. If Wade/Heyer can't effectivley replace him they won't be in the playoffs anyway. If they can, he won't be needed. That's the way I see it.

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

He would be the perfect 3rd or 4th WR cause Lloyd just plain sucks. It's time to cut the cord with him and move on.

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

duh...now i remember....judging by patten. and furia..sp? x-patriot recievers haven't done too well

I see. This move may be more about keeping this guy from Philly or the Cowboys in the end.

Seperate note, what's the cap hit if we bounce Lloyd?

While I'd absolutely love to see Lloyd gone because I hate his guts and think he's completely worthless, I think we're probably stuck with him through 2008 at the least.

Releasing him any time before the end of this season would put us over the salary cap for this year, so we can't do that.

Releasing him after the season ends, but before June 1, would cost us $3.0 million in 2008 cap space. Releasing him after June 1 would save us about $2.5 million of 2008 space, but we'd have to eat a dead cap charge of $5.3 million in 2009.

They could always try to trade him like they did with Archuleta, and get a team to redo his deal and assume some signing bonus money for us. That'd keep our cap hit nice and low. But I can't see anyone wanting the bum!

I've seen the Skins eat big charges before, so anything is possible, but I would call it very likely that we'll keep him through 2008 at minimum.

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

I don't know what the cap hit is if we kick Lloyd out, but for now I'm all in favor of Thrash being the #3, Caldwell being the #4 and Lloyd being the #5. I say bring him in, he has to better than Shaun Bodiford.

Can't boot Lloyd this year, would put us over the cap.

Can boot him next year, but it would cost us dearly. See my previous post for details.

I'm OK with this as long as he doesn't set foot on the field as a redskin. Lloyd is way better, at least he will catch it, if it is thrown to him. Caldwell dropped how many in last years AFC title game?

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

His drops don't bother me. Santana had his drops last year.

He was the best receiver on their team last year so I'm down. :biggthump

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

If Jansen goes onto the IR, do we then get his cap space back for this year. And if we get his cap space back, is it enought to eat the penalty for cutting Lloyd? Then sign Caldwell to replace that WR, and we would still have one roster spot available.

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

J-La has updated his blog to say that Caldwell signing looks very likely and that the Redskins also looked at two O-Linemen and a TE today. Alas no help for the secondary apparently:

Why are we all worried about the secondary all of a sudden? We only gave up 13 points, what more could you ask for? Macklin played great in preseason, if the Skins were REALLY concerned, they'd start him.

JLC says Caldwell signed a 1 year deal. Should be practicing with the team by Thursday.

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

Thanks for the update. That was quick

It's not a huge concern. We're talking about the 53rd roster spot after all. It's just that there are reports that Pray-Low and Fox are not healthy. In the short term, it might make sense to bring in another safety that can play the pass well. Hopefully, their injuries are minor.

Re: JLC: Reche Caldwell is in the Building
 

Damn that was quick. Good signing. I think its safe to say that we have really good depth at WR now. B.Lloyd better get his $hit together.

The Miami WR's were open most of the time < they had 5 drops on 3rd down > . Besides our pass rush sucks , now Danials is hurt again , we need a DE if he misses any time . Hope Springs starts the rest of the year .

Depth. Fox hurt his groin. Could out for a while. Pierson hurt something too, but he should be good to go Monday.
