The Redskins should send a message now: cut Brandon Lloyd.
The malcontent receiver has been as big a bust as now-departed safety Adam Archuleta was and on top of that, he threw his helmet during a game last year. Lloyd admitted that this offseason was the first one during which he ever really worked out, and the result has been that he has missed half of training camp with shin splints.
The Redskins have plenty of cap room. Even if they give tight end Chris Cooley a big contract, they have the cap room. Lloyd might be a gifted athlete, but he's not a standup guy in the locker room. Corey Bradford, Jason McAddley, Mike Espy or any of the other backup receivers can score zero touchdowns as well as Lloyd and for a heck of a lot less money and aggravation.
Cut Brandon Lloyd now.

But he has also come out and apologized for that, and his head should be on straight now. I also saw reports that he worked out all offseason, and that might be why he has shin splints right now. We'd be dumb to drop him now with no back up plan in order. If this was going to be done, we should have prepared for it.
