[QUOTE=Dirtbag359;289460]I think the main selling point for the Redskins was ridding themselves of Archulettas contract.[/QUOTE]

Hopefully we can use the cap space to re-sign Chris Cooley next year.

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

Thats basically a 7th rounder. I always liked him. I think we should have more.

[quote=Gmanc711;289464]Seriously! You guys think we could have gotten a THIRD!?!? The writing was on the wall that despite what Gibbs says, Arch was gone. Why would they part ways with a 3rd if he was probaboly just gonna get axed anyways.[/quote]

I'm with you here.

A 3rd rounder?! LOL

No way.

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

[quote=Mattyk72;289465]I still think he was the infamous leak from last season.[/quote]
I agree. That's one reason why I'm glad to see him go.

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

I feel bad for all 12 people that bought his jersey.

I'm glad he's gone before he had a chance to be a distraction. Hopefully we don't have to eat too much of his contract, if any at all.

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

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

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

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

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.

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

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.

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

How much cap room do we have now?

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

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

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?

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

[quote=Dirtbag359;289477]So does this mean that we have 6.72 milion extra in cap room for 2007?[/quote]6.72 LESS cap room for 2007.

We gain cap room in all future seasons.
