The Archuleta cap hit question.

Has anyone seen this as far as how we are treating AA's contract:

"Archuleta received a $5 million signing bonus last year, $4 million of which eventually will count against Washington's salary cap. It's believed the Redskins will use one of their June 1 exceptions so that Archuleta will count only $1.5 million against the cap this year, with the rest coming in 2008."

I thought the Skins were going to just eat the contract in 2007 so we get relief in 2008? Unless we are going to use the additional space in 2007 to sign free agents why not just get the dead cap hit out of the way in 2007?
