Hopefully we can use the cap space to re-sign Chris Cooley next year.

We are not in danger of not signing Cooley. Never have been.

yeah, but if Daniel Friggin Graham just got made the highest paid TE in the league, then the market will certainly dictate that Cooley should get a huge contract with his skills/young age/numbers. Not having the baggage of AA's contract simply assures we'll be able to pay him what he has earned. Can you imagine how absolutely livid the fan base would be if we let Cooley slip away?? I would punch a hole in a wall for sure...

Somebody set up a crisis hotline for Hess.

I hate the way this whole thing played out. Ugly, just plain ugly.

I still think he was the infamous leak from last season.

I agree. That's one reason why I'm glad to see him go.

T.O.Killa · 03-20-2007, 07:13 PM

Thats basically a 7th rounder. I always liked him. I think we should have more.

ArtMonkDrillz · 03-20-2007, 07:14 PM

I feel bad for all 12 people that bought his jersey.

I'm glad he's gone before he had a chance to be a distraction. Hopefully we don't have to eat too much of his contract, if any at all.

Dirtbag59 · 03-20-2007, 07:15 PM

Now if we could only find someone stupid enough to take on my boy B. Llyod.

Did I say third? I think Arch was not used very well, but I was joking. Geeeez!

OK, the Archuleta trade lowers our available cap room by 6.72 million for 2007.

However, our cap numbers are lowered in the remaining years of the deal by the following amounts:

2008-3.8 million
2009-5.8 million
2010-7.8 million
2011-7.8 million
2012-5.8 million

Total saved: 33.28 million
Total cost of release: 9 million
Net savings: 24.28 million

Archuleta made 10.5 million from us total over his time here, 1/3 of the total value of the contract.

So does this mean that we have 6.72 milion extra in cap room for 2007?

6.72 LESS cap room for 2007.

We gain cap room in all future seasons.

All right, well I'll take that granted we have enough room to sign our draft picks. Thanks for clearing that up GTripp
