The Archuleta cap hit question.

Schneed, I'm sure it's been said before, but I appreciate the value you add to this sight. Same goes for CC and ThatGuy...and all the other resident Capologists.

Thanks 12th.

The great thing about the cap is that it gives us great insights into the teams future plans. You can listen to all the stories and rumors, but analyzing the cap situation will usually give you all the info you need to know.

This is why many people here were already predicting the Arch cut (due to our excess cap space), and now the numbers tell us that the Bly trade is a good bet as well.

Amen brother. I'd comment further, but I think my signature says it all!

Yeah the cap really does tell the whole story sometimes. I think we have the best capologists around, great job as usual guys.

I give most praise to Lovie Smith rather than the Redskins cap team. He could have made it much harder on us, but he was generous when we were in a bad negotiating position.

However, great job with the cap stats, Schneed. You've taken a load off my mind.

I'm sure Lovie made this move out of the goodness of his heart. LOL.

Reading Jason LaCanfora's blog post, it seems like he is saying that we are responsible for the cap hit this year, even if Chicago is picking up the $5 million dollar payment.

So would this mean, if he is right, that it is like we cut him?

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?

I wouldn't trust what the Times reports, they're off base quite a bit.

Yes, it isn't imaginable that someone wouldn't try to shaft someone else for the most they could possibly get. For a moment, I forgot.

Dan Daly at the Times is the worst, they are all Skins haters over there!
