Yeah, kinda a "lousy 'Skins wide receiver from the Raiders/Niners" joke. I'm new to Redskins Warpath, does anyone have a sense of humor? Posts all seem so serious. When you put Muhammad, Barnwell & Lloyd in the same sentance, that's a joke, ok?

Here at the Warpath we take the internet very seriously. That way we don't end up like Extreme Skins.

Fair enough...but interjecting a little levity along the way doesn’t hurt and sometimes makes a point and educates others who might not remember being in the same position (sans salary cap) almost 25 years ago.

Keep in mind sarcasm goes a long way on this board. I guess every board. Some times people are serious and sometimes they are very sarcastic in hopes of being funny. In any case don't break the board rules and get thick skin.

When you mention 25yrs ago I hope you are mentioning when the salary cap started. I'm supprised no one has opened a new forum in reference to a possible 2010 cap free yr? what's wrong with you people?

I thought it was funny dude. Add TE Ethan Horton to the Raiders/Niners list.

I had so much high expectations of BL when we traded for him, I admit he was a total let down for me. I am glad we got rid of him and get on with finding a receiver that can help our ball team.

If you weep, weep only because we lost draft picks for that clown.

23 of those catches must have been during pre-season, right?

Actually he only had 2 catches for 14 yards in 2007 - so your memory is dead on GMANC!

Also to have zero touchdowns in today's pass happy NFL - I mean you have to say that this is in part due to Llyod's play and simply blaming everyone else under the sun besides Llyod is ignorance.

The guy is a bum. Everyone says he has all the athletic talent in the world to be dominant but results speak for themselves. Personally I think any team signing him even for the vet minimum is foolish because with all the injuries in today's NFL depth is so important and this guy is not even 2nd string material and would take up a valuable roster spot.

It sucks that we gave up picks and $12 million to this guy but I am very happy that the Redskins have wiped the slate clean and cut their losses with Llyod. Now we can sign someone who actually wants to lace them up every weekend and actually produce for the burgundy and gold.

Llyod has been fully exposed and chances are no team is going to take a chance on this guy. Out of the NFL and good riddence!

Some one was asking earlier if Lloyd was a June 1st cut, here's what this article said:
"...was designated a June 1 cut for salary cap purposes, executive vice president Vinny Cerrato said, which means his salary cap figure of $4.2 million will drop to $1.8 million on June 1. (Lloyd will count $5.5 million in dead cap space in 2009.)"

The question we have now is does he still get any other moneys that will count toward this years cap?
