Lloyd & AA contract updates

Redskins Notes: The Redskins faced a deadline yesterday to exercise $5 million options on safety Adam Archuleta, according to league sources, and Lloyd. They executed Lloyd's option, but reached an agreement with Archuleta to push back his deadline. Both players are guaranteed the money in one form or another, but the decision to delay the move for Archuleta could be a bid to buy more time in order to trade or perhaps cut him. . . . Former Redskins linebacker LaVar Arrington is about a month away from being able to pass an NFL physical, according to his agent Kevin Poston, and intends to play next season. Arrington, who negotiated his release from Washington last year and was cut by the Giants after one season, still is recovering from a torn Achilles' tendon but has drawn some free agent interest, Poston said. . . . The Redskins re-signed defensive lineman Ryan Boschetti to a one-year deal for around the veteran minimum yesterday, according to sources.

For Lloyd all those that agreed he would be back can consider themselves correct, those of us that said Arch would be back...

well I don't know no more :shock:

I'm all for bringing back AA for another year but if we can let him go and resign Clark.....that'd be my vote. Yes I'm still campaigning for R. Clark. He signed my jeresey and was one of the nicest players I ever met.

I'm glad to know that Lloyd is coming back. He flashed brilliance on the few plays he was thrown, I sincerely hope that number increases this season.

I think Lloyd will be fine. He no longer has to worry about being underthrown. With CP back in the fold and healthy, and a young strong armed QB under center all three receivers and Cool

ey should have good years. HTTR

Would Clark and AA be competing for a spot? I mean they are both safeties but wouldn't they play different roles?

I believe they play the same position opposite of S. Taylor. Clark is more versatile imo.

Isn't Clark still a "Stiller" :?:

I thought he was going to be released.

Isn't Archuleta mostly signing bonus though anyway? I think they should wait a year on that, take less of a hit. The smart thing to do would be to cut Springs.

I agree with this sentiment, although the worst underthrow of the year for Lloyd came from JC in New Orleans. That was a 50+ yard TD if its in front of him. The good thing is that they should have plenty of time to get that timing down before the season, and next year, that pass will be on the money. :rock:

IMHO, no one will remember the helmet incident after this season. ;-)

Get rid of AA. He's a total waste of money and talent in DC, especially the way we used him last year. Pay him the money we owe him, take the cap hit, and move on.

In a way, I kind of like having AA on the team, sittingon the bench. Because he's a constant reminder to Dan-o not to drink and sign. :shock:

Why pay him ALL of the money, when they didn't get what was advertised (free agency works both ways) he didn't produce regardless of the reasons and he made a lot of money. The Skins are staying right around $10M under the cap. Rookie pool = about $3M + cutting/trading AA ( about $6.9M) he's out of here.

I'm guessing you forgot about Campbell's first NFL pass. I didn't see any brilliance from him in that pass thrown his way.

I'm just giving you a tough time. Sorry. I just don't do much offseason posting. :wink:

Archuleta's Status Is Still Up in the Air
Saturday, March 17, 2007; Page E02

The Washington Redskins must work out a new contract or a deal for safety Adam Archuleta by Wednesday, when he will be owed a $5 million guaranteed bonus. The sides agreed to postpone that bonus -- which was due last Monday, according to sources with knowledge of the situation -- as the Redskins continued to figure out how to part with Archuleta, who was benched for much of last season after being made the highest-paid safety in NFL history.

Archuleta, who says he did not speak to the defensive coaching staff for much of the season, would not be averse to a change. Trading him will not be easy given the $5 million he is still due, and the team and Archuleta's agent, Gary Wichard, are exploring ways to either release him without taking a big salary cap hit or trade him, sources said.

Archuleta's bonus is guaranteed, meaning he will get the $5 million even if he is released. Should the Redskins execute the option and keep Archuleta -- the staff has not been informed to make contingency plans for his departure, sources said -- he would count $2.4 million against the 2007 salary cap.

Should they cut Archuleta, he would count about $9 million against the 2007 cap. Should Washington not execute the option but keep Archuleta, he would count $6.4 million against this year's cap.

Several NFL executives said they believe Archuleta likely would have to rework his contract to facilitate a trade. Last week, Wichard said his client would reject any deal that cost him any guaranteed money, but the agent has not returned calls since agreeing to the postponement.

Chicago, which needs depth at safety, was interested in Archuleta a year ago but the Bears are unlikely to absorb his current deal, league sources said, although he could be intriguing at a lesser price.

It seems as if cutting him is almost cost prohibitive. I'm more inclined to try for one more year out of him, I think he would still have some value in a revamped defense. Before I get bombarded, I understand how pathetic he was last year. But, again, the entire defense broke down. Archuleta's career numbers are not spectacular but they certainly don't indicate a decline of that magnitude. Retaining him to try to gain some return certainly makes more sense than having him cost the team an exorbitant sum to get, essentially, nothing.

It would depend on if he re-works his contract. He delayed his option bonus, if he is willing to pull a "mini-Lavar" and write out the guaranteed money in a new contract. The Skins could release him and he would recoup the money as a free agent. I don't see a trade but it would be nice.
In the end he'd cost about $7.9M in dead money and we'd be done with him. That's $1.5M more than what he'll cost if he plays

I've read that his agent has said that he will not agree to a deal that reduces the amount of guaranteed money. However, if Lovie keeps calling, maybe that'll change. If it doesn't, I think I'd have to agree with Fios. It seems like a big cap hit to let him go, and maybe if he was used creatively (like up in the box on 1st and 2nd down), he could be useful until we can afford to cut him.

NFL Network's Adam Schefter reports the Redskins are working on a new deal for Adam Archuleta in hopes of trading him later this offseason.

Schefter calls Chicago a likely landing spot, as Lovie Smith ran St. Louis' defense when Arch appeared to be a player on the rise. The Bears also need insurance for Mike Brown, who's recovering from a Lisfranc injury.

Looks like AA is going to where he should've gone last year....
