We obviously don't need him around. We just took close to a 2.9 mil cap hit by doing this. Just unsure why now when it would have cost us $0 to drop him after this season.

Jsarno - I think he was a really bad locker room distraction and the team just needed to cut ties with him ASAP. From the reports from JLC Llyod is being designated a post June 1 cut, so the Skins are getting the benefits of cutting him now and the cap savings too without having to give the guy the $1.8 million bonus for 2008.

What makes me mad about this is when you look at his pay per catch rate - with a $10,000,000 signing bonus and 25 catches in 2 years he got $400,000 a catch - not a bad gig if you could land it. At least he could have gotten 1 TD as one of his receptions, but that was too much to ask.
