Leaves us with only [B][U]3[/U][/B] healthy receivers:
Randle El
Caldwell
McCardell

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

Never thought it would pain me to hear that B. Lloyd won't play for the rest of the season.

Your link's not working for me.....?

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

Goodness. I didn't realize it was for the whole year, just this Sunday.

If only Espy hadn't gotten hurt this year. Maybe Toler will be activated

But like I said last week we might be better off with Caldwell and Keenan playing anyway. At least Keenan, dude is sick.

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

What a deal 5 million for the year-2 catches-thats 2.5 mil. per catch. I would work for that if I wasn't 40 and fat

Here is a proper link to the story:

So when Lloyd is gone after the season, he will have given us 25 catches for under 400 yards and ZERO TDs in two seasons. It kills me that we gave up a 3rd AND a 4th for that. That doesn't even account for the significant cap hit that lies ahead. If Lloyd is cut after June 1st, he will remain on our cap through 2009.

forgive me for being off topic but how many posts to I have to make to not be a camp scrub?

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

Patten and Lloyd can't be classified as anything more than busts here. I mentioned it about a month ago and I'll reiterate here I think I'd like to see us go after Bernard Berrian in the offseason. Bryant Johnson is a possibility as is possibly Larry Fitzgerald (via trade).

But I really like Berrian and think he's coming into his own now. Another intriguing possibility could be Matt Jones out of Jacksonville. But I think the focus should be on Berrian this offseason (him and Justin Smith :) )

Maybe I'll start a "Five Offseason Moves I Want to See" thread

I think it's 100

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

Well after 9 games 2 catches and 14 total yards, I don't think we will be missing much.

This is just the start of the end for the 100% TOTAL BUST!

Hope SM's foot bruise gets well quickly. They can bring up a squad WR and out produce what this BUM has done.

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

LOL

Looks like I won't have to worry about him breaking that 600 yard mark I was talking about back in August!

What a turd. I hope his collarbone falls off.

Honestly this may be considered as an upgrade.

LOL what a perfect ending to the Lloyd era.

Man and you don't even know the guy. You must be cruel to your enemies. :rofl:

As for Lloyd... Whatever. I'm sorry the guy got injured like that and I do hope he makes a full recovery and goes on to excel with some other team.. but, don't let the door hit you in the ass on the way out.

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

Gets his chance to step up, boom out with an injury.

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

Hopefully we will finally be able to get Reche Caldwell in the mix, now that Lloyd is out of the picture.

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

What's Santana's status?

We may need to suit him up as the "emergency third receiver".

At least we won't have a Jimmy Farris sighting....right?

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

Could Mike Williams be on the radar?

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

In honor of B. Lloyd's contribution to the team, can a moderator please close this thread when the 14th person posts in honor of the 14 measley yards he had. Good riddance.

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

Un-friggin-believable.

Obviously Lloyd wasn't producing when he was healthy, but at least he was a warm body that could suit up and head out on the field.

What else can go wrong for this team, injury-wise? This has got to be virtually unprecedented in team history with respect to injured starters.

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

Jeez we're screwed when BL being out is actually bad for us.

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

He has two catches this year in 9 games. TWO!! I think Lloyd has played in his last game as a Redskin. I don't wish injury on anyone, but this doesn't bother me one bit. McCardell and Randle El have been playing very well. I'm far more upset about Thrash's injury than Lloyd's or even Moss' really. Santana couldn't catch a cold this year and has been riddled by the injury bug, whereas Thrash just turned in the best game by any of our WRs all year and is a big special teams contributor. Lloyd has 25 catches for 379 yards in 25 games. Maybe the worst WR free agent signing ever. I'm ready for him to just go away.

It'll be interesting to see if we sign someone outside the organization. One flare-up by Randle El's hammy and we're down to two WRs that weren't even on the team a month ago.

Bring back Terry Mitchell?

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

Does this we can cut him and give him an injury settlement? I don't understand how those affect the cap.

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

Just unbelievable. What a year for injuries! Here was the guy's chance to get some serious time, even from the dog house, with Moss and Thrash doubtful at best. And he snaps his collar bone. He's probably thinking--See, this is why I don't try in practice!

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

Mike Williams? Who else is out there? Practice squad has one WR. Just amazing.

I don't think anyone's arguing that the team will be really impacted by this. He hasn't produced jack squat so far and there's no reason to think he was about to step up.

I'm just blown away at the almost comical rate that we are racking up injured players. We start off losing guys in the preseason, then we start losing starters to game injuries and nagging injuries, and no we lose a backup WR to a freak, non-contact, practice injury.

I like the way you think. After watching replays of the resurgent :yeahright Rex Grossman hooking up with Bernard Berrian on the long ball this past weekend, I wondered if Jason Campbell could have a better connection with him than he's had with Santana. I think making a move for Bernard would be a nice decision. He maybe the deep threat the offense has been lacking.

Larry Fitzgerald and Bryant Johnson are intriguing too, but I'm not sure about Matt Jones. He's eerily similar to B Lloyd. He likes the amazing one handed circus grab and scissor arms balls headed right for him. He's got a wealth of potential, but the knock on him in Jax is that he's kind of lackadaisical and unmotivated. From what I've seen, he hasn't really done anything to dispell those grumblings about him.

Have heard the same about Jones. What's compelling about him is he's 6'6", fast, and I think Dave Butz' son is his agent.

But BB is at the top of my wish list

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

Can I start a what injury hurts more, Taylor or Lloyd thread?

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

He's out, they won't hold a roster spot for him. His Redskin career is over, I don't think her ever broke a sweat and boy did he ever rob the Skins.

He's definitely an intriguing prospect. If JC had a tall target with speed, it could be a lethal combo, but I'd hate to see Snyder back up the Brinks truck, and then Matt Jones is teetering back and forth from inactivity to 5th string receiver like he is in Jax. I wonder if he'd command a lot of money in the free agent market or if we could get him at a good price. I'd like him as compliment to our receiving corp but not to be the solution to fix our problems there.

What's interesting about Jones' season thus far is he'll be in street clothes one week, and then the next game, he's making a spectacular game winning TD. The way our season's gone so far, it might be worth shelling out $2.5 million for a game winning TD here and there, even if he could potentially be on the bench the next week, stroking his beard. It's definitely better than $2.5 million for a seven yard slant here and there.

Smootsmack - any of these guys would be a great addition although I like Bryant Johnson. I know that we have no chance because of our salary cap but what about Andre' Davis of Houston - if we didn't blow our cap on Llyod what an addition Davis would have been.

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

Personally I think its a blessing in disguise. The drama is over, no more media questions about Lloyd for the team and coaches. He has never played up to his hype and I think it is a good thing. Im fine with it actually.

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

We've got a Jimmy Farris sighting!! Comcast Sports Nite just said it. He's at this point the only wide receiver the team is bringing in. Sigh....

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

[quote=GTripp0012;378343]At least we won't have a Jimmy Farris sighting....right?[/quote]Ah, shit.

For those Redskin execs who patrol these boards...I was completely joking.

Re: B. Lloyd Possibly Out For The Season
 

[quote=theJBexperience;378366]Larry Fitzgerald and Bryant Johnson are intriguing too, but I'm not sure about Matt Jones... [/quote]IMO Johnson and Berrian are the best targets. Fitzgerald would require too hefty a price in a trade and I also agree on Jones, he just doesn't appear to give a crap that he is 6'6", 240, and runs a sub-4.4.....yet has only 9 catches on the season. Berrian would give us a legit deep threat with good size, 6'1" - 185 and Johnson is 6'3", 220 and appears to be a very solid receiver. Another UFA target would be DJ Hackett. He appears to have recovered well from his ankle injury, he's young with good size and has shown improvement each year.

I'm not sure about the potential salary cap ramifications of releasing Lloyd. But if I understand Canuck's cap sheets we will take about a $ 3M cap hit in 2008 by releasing Lloyd, hopefully we will have enough space to pursue at least a couple of the above WRs.

Yeah Llyod was indeed the biggest bust of Gibbs II. Patten was an all pro here compared to Llyod. Sad thing is it is a total loss. I can't see anyone wanting him in a trade now unless he was like an additional freebie along with a high round pick just to get rid of him. HE should have stayed with the 49ers. He might have still been productive there since he thrived in that system.
