JLC: Redskins Sign WR Reche Caldwell

[LaRon + Sean = Hell 4 U]

Reche Caldwell would be a great #3 wideout Lloyd doesn't have it anymore I wouldn't be surprised if we cut him next year if he doesn't produce this year.

While I'd absolutely love to see Lloyd gone because I hate his guts and think he's completely worthless, I think we're probably stuck with him through 2008 at the least.

Releasing him any time before the end of this season would put us over the salary cap for this year, so we can't do that.

Releasing him after the season ends, but before June 1, would cost us $3.0 million in 2008 cap space. Releasing him after June 1 would save us about $2.5 million of 2008 space, but we'd have to eat a dead cap charge of $5.3 million in 2009.

They could always try to trade him like they did with Archuleta, and get a team to redo his deal and assume some signing bonus money for us. That'd keep our cap hit nice and low. But I can't see anyone wanting the bum!

I've seen the Skins eat big charges before, so anything is possible, but I would call it very likely that we'll keep him through 2008 at minimum.

I think you are right on with them not cutting him sooner than later - you'd have to think with Gibbs getting up there in years the focus is on win now at all costs and worry about the future later - they'll probably defer the cap hit until 2009 like you said and someone else besides Gibbs will have to deal with the issue at that time.

One other thing to consider with the timing of Llyod's cut - does cutting Brunell and Springs in the coming years have an effect on the cut timing decision as well?
