Not trying to defend Archuleta. He's been horrible this year.

Just looking at his contract and saying it would be a tough thing to write him off. If he played like he did in St. Louis (which he is obviously capable of), he'd at least be starting for us.

I agree, I think you don't get rid of him just yet. Give him a chance, especially because of how much we have paid for him. I think the Friend article is accurate in that, we shouldn't make him the scapegoat.

Like I have said before, AA was in demand at Chicago, and he was gonna get big bucks there too. I don't think they are stupid at Chicago, and they must have seen something in him. Let's just give him one more season, and then go from there.

Archuleta could end up being just another Cris Dishman though.

Didn't Dishman go to the Pro-bowl as a Redskin?

I think so, but then he just had a ridiculous drop into oblivion. It wasn't even a slow fade away.

I don't see the logic of moving Springs to safety. We're better off at safety than corner especially if Fox continues to hold up. Pray-low will come back next year. You need three starting cornerbacks to compete, IMO. Three wide receiver sets are as common a formatioon as you will see so the nickel back is essentially a starter. And, when Springs is healthy he's still an above average player. Rogers is not out of the woods either. I watched the game again for the third time and Delhomme played badly. I'm not saying Rogers didn't play well, but the Panthers offense was sluggish and the play calling was bad. If they show up playing better, I think we'd all be in here bitching about the same stuff we have all year.

The Nickel Package Next year

Carter/Evans Griffin/Monty Golston/Salavea Adams/Moses/FA

Washington Marshall

Springs Wright Rogers


Taylor Fox/Pray-Low

One thing I noticed when looking at the Salary Cap numbers (Scout.com: Redskins Salary Cap Chart) is some contracts really take upswings next year.

Portis, Griffin, and Washington all over double. I hope we don't wind up loosing one of them in a contract dispute. I am not as harsh on the FO as others, but I will say they have not handled resigning their own players very well. In this case we might need to renegotiate and it will take some tact not to turn into a team/player confrontation.

How can a Warpath member discuss the salary cap and link to SOMEONE ELSE'S cap sheets?????????????? Is this another April Fools joke from Tafkas??? Oh the shame and humiliation, I'm not sure I can go on...

Seriously though, the link you gave is for PCinOZ's cap sheets. He provides the sheets for Scout.com and has the most reliable info anywhere. But the link you gave is an old one (March 28th). The new link for PCinOZ's cap sheets is PC's Redskins Salaries and Contracts Pages.

But why go elsewhere when all your cap dreams can come true right here:
