Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

to the bears for a sixth

Re: Arch traded
 

Nooooooo. (Cite your source). In all seriousness that sounds like good news for both parties.

Re: Arch traded
 

IT was on espn last minute this just in: Arch gone to the bears for a 6th round pick

Re: Arch traded
 

Just seen this also on NFL Total Access. I wanted to keep Arch, and see if we could work out any packages, but i'll take a 6th pick for him.

Re: Arch traded
 

6th is about what we should have expected for him.....


Worst FA Blunder maybe ever for the Washington Redskins, just a stupid ass signing with Sean Taylor already here. I honestly think Archuletta will be a impact player next season now that he's in Chicago.

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

I think with Archuletta on his way out we should now take the time to consider Landry in the draft. I know it probably won't happen but we still have to look at our options.

Re: 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.

Re: Arch traded
 

Schefter reported that there is a possibility that this contract says that if he preforms well, the draft pick will be raised.

I am happy that we delt him but I was expecting a third to fith from Lovie, he seemed like he really wanted him

I also wonder how the contract was done, I think this will tell us what we are planning to do for the rest of this year and for next year.

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

I think it's a bad trade, but as in bad-but insignificant NOT as in bad-and very costly.

I think the better move would have been to take another year and try to get some return on investment.

But with Prioleau manning the secondary next year, the only thing that REALLY matters is that we get an impact player on the defensive line in this draft.

And that we don't end up with Calvin Johnson.

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

We're very lucky to get anything for him.

I wonder if he re-worked his deal to get out of town.

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

I think the main selling point for the Redskins was ridding themselves of Archulettas contract.

Re: Arch traded
 

Somebody set up a crisis hotline for Hess. :(

I hate the way this whole thing played out. Ugly, just plain ugly.

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.

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

I still think he was the infamous leak from last season.

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.

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.

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

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

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?

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

[quote=diehardskin2982;289476]How much cap room do we have now?[/quote]

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.

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

no 6.72 less, but thats not true either, we need to know how his contract was restructured before we know how the cap is impacted.

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

I certainly hope they at least re-worked his deal to let him go?
#6 beats a blank, which is what we had with ARCH! I pray we learned a lesson from this deal....THE HARD WAY! BYE DEION

[quote=BeastsoftheNFCeast;289479]We dont know, not untill we find out how they reworked his contract[/quote]We didn't rework his contract. The Bears did.

All right, well I'll take that granted we have enough room to sign our draft picks. Thanks for clearing that up GTripp

well it's good that bad move is over! Duckett and Arch.... moves we are paying for in money and draft picks in 07! Just keeps getting better!

Re: Archuleta traded to Bears for 6th round pick
 

[QUOTE=GTripp0012;289480]6.72 LESS cap room for 2007.[/QUOTE]

I highly doubt that we would have dumped him unless we got some cap relief through a restructure. I can't see us taking a $7M cap hit this season.

[quote=Dirtbag359;289484]All right, well I'll take that granted we have enough room to sign our draft picks. Thanks for clearing that up GTripp[/quote]I think we have about 3 million free right now.

We can sign the No. 6 pick and 4 others with that.
