Lloyd had not been expected to attend the workouts yesterday because, despite being traded March 11 from San Francisco for a third-round draft choice this season and a fourth round choice next year, he does not have the new contract that was part of the trade negotiations that brought him to the Redskins.
He said one of the reasons he attended was his confidence that his representatives and the Redskins will have a deal completed by next week. Under his current deal, which will pay him $1.6 million, Lloyd will be eligible for free agency after the 2006 season.

I am as happy as the rest of you that Lloyd showed up for vol. workouts, but all of this talk about him not having a deal, kind of miffs me. He will make 1.6 million this coming year! Is that not a deal?! I know all of these guys want longterm deals, but I bet half the league is operating under 1 year deals. Lloyd is obligated to honor his remaining contract until a new one gets in place. I would show up for workouts if I was going to make 1.6 mill!
