first!

Fly me to the moon, and let me play among the stars!

bbeeeepp

Why is Lloyd such an asshat? Every teammate says he's the most talented receiver out there yet he continues to play like he could give a f.
Hopefully this Caldwell dude is the answer, I don't remember ever seeing him play.

GREAT NEWS, wearing my whip cream bikini and doing the Hustle...feelin the flow...

cL, from the vanished thread, nfl.com says Caldwell is 6'0" and 220 lbs. Kind of like jm220 ... only, you know, rc220.

Before bashing this we should ask ourselves the following:

R) Is he an upgrade over what we have now?
III) Is he the best available receiver?

I think the answers are yes and yes. No one is expecting pro bowl numbers. We just need some kind of production out of our #3 receiver and we are currently not getting any.

You could make the argument for McCardell, but he's like 76 years old. With crazy eyes, theres some potential down the road as well.

Wade gets the nod

6th!

I believe Mr. La Canfora may have misheard and thus misquoted the guy. He said "looks really big" ... which is how everything looks from behind his peepers.

Henceforth on this blog, Reche Caldwell will be known as "RC220".

Let it be done!

Don't forget that Caldwell put up those numbers last year against #1 corners. This year he'll be going against #2 or 3 corners.

Cindy just lost about 30 posts switching this Carlos LaCanfora triple move back to one post.

The Boren Ultimatum will now be changed to 99970.

What's with the two fake Nate posts today? Not me, dudes. It would be sort of an honor if it weren't so creepy. Just come in with the Barney Fife and "this blog stinks" stuff, okay, hater dude?

I've been busy trying to reconcile a new and improved Boren Ultimatum with my plan to, you know, get a little bit of Work done.

*sigh*

When you said congratulations, I bet he looked surprised.

He didn't tell "you" that, Jason. He told all of the reports at the same time (since at least 2 other reporters are reporting Caldwell told the entire group of reporters that it "looks really good"). Don't act like you have a scoop gleaned from a private one-on-one conversation with the guy.

I guess they studied the film and saw Lloyd, Brandon's "effort" on the INT in the end zone, and that was the last straw. No plasma tv for this sjkhole. He should get an old 13" black and white with rabbit ears.

He needs to re-sign with someone right away -- REALLY expensive contact lenses -- specially made from scooped-out jelly fish.

guess that means lloyd should start making some plays on special teams before he has to find a new job. what a BUST!

and i'm excited about wade getting the nod. this makes more sense and wade is definetly good enough to start (as good as jansen or samuels... not really). and this way they can bring in heyer to spell wade and especially samuels who still isn't in 100% game form.

I really don't get this conundrum over WR. We have a dude who works his butt off and runs good routes and blocks downfield and actually catches the ball when you throw it to him -- his name is James Thrash. He's not the fastest wheel on the truck, but he does go round and round.

Throw it to Thrash!

Caldwell did nothing against #2 and #3 cornerbacks while he was in San Diego.

Chances are good that we will sign, never catch a pass, get cut in the off-season, sign with the 40ers, and be All Pro next year.

Who farted?

Sounds like La DorkCanfora tried to play our boy Reche into spilling the beans before anything was official. Smooth move Exlax!

Sign him - Cut Lloyd. Lloyd's a disgrace. He is the poster child for having non-guaranteed contracts although the Skins as usual paid this guy too much in guaranteed bonus money. I think the final straw was the interception this game where he got completely outhustled and just showed no want to whatsoever. Bye!

PS Guarantee Lloyd is dumb enough to blow however millions of dollars he has too. Haha! He's just that type of dude.

Way to show your optimism there El Fan or shall I say "Debbie Downer".

John - relax. It's not that big of a deal that Jason was not the only reporter there.

Jason- Good job keeping blog peeps informed!

Rule #76 No Excuses, Play like a Champion

This comment counts towards both Redskins related content and "jibba jabba."

As long as we sign the guy for around the minimum, with a minimal signging bonus, I'm definitely cool with Caldwell. I just don't understand what we're going to do with Brandon Lloyd's contract. I guess we could always deactive the guy every week and then "LaVar" him at the end of the season, right? Or should I say "Springs" him now?

1) Quit picking on Jason
2) Quit saying "who farted"
3) Quit saying "first"

Joe in Raleigh, hilarious.

Critical question on Caldewell: is the proper pronunciation of his first name "raysh", "reesh," "ray-shay," "reh-shay," or "anyone other than Brandon Lloyd"?

Sorry people, but Reche Caldwell is way better than Lloyd AND Thrash. Love Thrash the football player, but the guy is done as a receiver. He was slow 5 yrs ago. Think he is any faster now???

Joe,

I got it and laughed.

How about RC 20/20 cause you know he's got perfect vision.

How tall is Reche...what's the skinny on him?

Why wait? Cut out the cancer now before it spreads.

Brandon Lloyd -- meet the scalpel.

Redskins Depth Chart - Wide Receiver

1) Santana Moss
2) A. Randle El
3) RC220
4) Asshat
5) James Thrash

Rob P, read previous thread about cuts/trades counting towards the salaray cap. I don't claim to understand it, but its not an option from what the other hamsters say.

I would agree to cut Lloyd, but I have a better idea. Personal punt protector...

May have been going against #1 Recievers but he also had Tom Brady throwing to him.

is jennifer wilbanks part of the package deal?

LMGO!

Dammit Danny, show me the money!!!!!!

Once again, cutting Lloyd would put us OVER the cap and we'd lose draft picks as a result.

You can send him home like the Eagles did TO but cutting him would be like punching yourself in the groin to rid yourself of a headache.

No plasma tv for this sjkhole. He should get an old 13" black and white with rabbit ears.

Posted by: 4-12 | September 11, 2007 03:00 PM

LMAO. Maybe just a 5" tv for him

Jon, maybe what he meant was he asked the question and Caldwell answered. That would be tellng him, since he asked the question. Besides, who the SJK cares?

Dorf - I am not an expert, but I believe that Llyod would count against next year's salary cap. I am not sure where we stand for next year. When I say "where we stand," of course, I mean how far we are over.

I still can't believe we gave up everything we did to trade and sign for Lloyd. Since the offseason of '00 didn't teach them anything, I really hope the 3 critical offseason mistakes of '06 (Lloyd, Duckett, Arch) finally wake these idiots in the FO up.

Nate,

Let's wait to see the numbers on Caldwell. If they gave him something way over the miniumum and/or a big bonus, I will scream about not just using Thrash as well...

Posted by: Just sayzin is all... | September 11, 2007 03:08 PM

I wouldn't have a problem with that...sending him home, not punching myself in the groin that is.

Cutting a player results in his unamortized signing bonus being accelerated to the current year.

Translation - The Redskins cannot cut Lloyd because they don't have the cap space to do so.

Yeah Ricky Bobbie,

This Springs' situation could be "strange" like LaVArr's, but as we learned with LaVArr you never know what's going on behind the scenes. Remember with LaVArr it turned out he barely knew the team had a defensive playbook. I was dying to know why Springs did not play more as Smoot and Rogers were being picked apart underneath. Well now we know Gibbs and Springs aren't on the same page as far as his "health" is concerned. Weird!

What happened to Smoot? I remember his 2nd/3rd yr, I thought he outplayed Champ Bailey and, of course, he was getting more balls thrown his way too.

How many seasons does Lloyd have to be a skin without it hurting so much?

He received a 10 Mil signing bonus. If he gets cut now, the magority will spill over into next year, but we don't have enough cap room this year to asorb the '07 hit. Or we have just enough cap room and we won't be able to sign players as others get injured during the season if we cut #85........

Nate, Madden (if I'm remembering this right) pronounced it RESH-ay. I pronounce it R-E-L-I-E-F.

I don't see any pressing need to cut Lloyd, especially if it has grievous cap implications for next season.

Hate to give up on a guy after one season plus one week, however historically bad he's been in that span.

Let Lloyd, Reche and Thrash duke it out for #3 and #4 WR, and eventually work in this speedy Bodiford kid for a few snaps here in there. Lloyd can be active or inactive week to week, whatever.

Lloyd had his chance. Kick him out and the rest of team will applaud. This Skins play hard and there is nothing worse than seeing a play where 10 guys bust their butts and the 11th guy doesn't care. Cut Lloyd -- or have Chris Samuels could beat the crap out of him and put Lloyd on IR if you can't afford the cap hit. Getting rid of Lloyd is addition by subtraction.

At the start of the season, we had a number 1 in Santana, a 3 in Randle El and a 4 in Thrash. But no number 2 because Lloyd is a nothing. Randle El stepped up and we have a 2. So a 3 is what we need and Caldwell seems reasonable. Especially since the guy has something to prove

Frye traded from Browns to Seahawks... can anyone say Brady

Cowboys DT Ferguson out for season... nice

P.S. The NFL will not approve any transaction that would cause the team to exceed the salary cap.

Personal Punt Protector and Pine Baron will be Lloyd's best two options.

I expect lloyd, brandon to be cut in March of '08, as a post-June 1 designee. The majority of his dead cap hit will be in the '09 season that way.

'SKINS EYEBALLING CALDWELL

Jason La Canfora of the Washington Post reports that the Redskins are visiting with free-agent receiver Reche Caldwell.

Caldwell led the Patriots in receptions and yardage in 2006. He was cut on September 3.

Because Caldwell is a vested veteran, teams likely waited to court him until after Week One. Any vested veteran who is on a team's opening-day roster can elect to take the remainder of his base salary as termination pay.

Wow. That was quick....

Somebody must have emailed them...

slick move jason!!!

reche caldwell is 2 to 3 inches taller than the skins #1 and #2 receiver.

SPLIT REC YDS AVG LNG TD ATT YDS
2006 61 760 12.5 62 4 1 5 5.0 5

i'll take these numbers!!!

http://www.sportsline.com/nfl/powerrankings

Zebra- Flag on yourself for cheering an injury, even to a hated rival.

Dorf and everyone,
I know they probably can't cut him for all the technical cap reasons, which I don't have the time or inclination to figure out anymore. But, do something to embarrass him like the Bucs did to K. Johnson. It's like he is not even fulfilling his contract. Sue his dumbass!!!

If anything this will give BL a kick in the nuts that he has to produce or he's gone. It's kind of like what they did with the corners to get more production out of them. With BL looking over his shoulder this might be the one thing that will jumpstart him into the kind of WR he can be.

i'll take these numbers!!!

Posted by: dealer | September 11, 2007 03:16 PM

Was those #s because of RC220 or 3 Championship ring Brady?

I think we went down this road before guys who are hyped:

David Patten

dealer, i don't think so ... maybe taller than the #2 WIDE receiver, but Cooley is still the number 2 receiver (or, at least, was covered like he was by the Phins).

Is it me or does Wade resember "Putty" from Seinfeld

"Putty"
http://www.nndb.com/people/630/000058456/warburton.jpg

Wade
http://www.nflplayers.com/images/players/28804.jpg

like i said before let's TO #85! cuz if they cut it him now majority of the hit will be taken next year (as 4th said above) if they wait until the season's over then they can distribute the hit over 2008 and 2009.

I'm going to go with it's just you Daddy-O.

4th, i'll take david patten, lisa patten, juwana patten and late granny patten over #85 :)

4th he is coming in as #3 receiver and not a # 1 or 2.

Rob P, I would love more than anything to see him smack a valet parker around and for him to find his car sitting in Redskins Park on cinder blocks. He hasn't done anything to earn anyone's love (as a player... never met the guy personally)

At least the guy isn't a locker room issue and doesn't steal from his teammates.

(remember Micheal Westbrook and Albert Connell?)

HAHAHAHAHA

F ME!

I was hangin/posted on the double post thread...think man its quiet up here today...

I am moron, just call me Skippy

"STEINBERG: Did you see that quote I got from Fred Smoot when I asked him to compare getting hit by 21 with getting hit by 30?:

"That's just like asking yourself if you were to get shot, would you rather get shot with a .45 bullet or a nine millimeter," Smoot said. "Then you ask yourself, 'Does it really matter?' Both of 'em are gonna hurt."
"

Ehh, wasn't PAtten coming in as a #3 as well? Or was it a #3? I'm just saying, I'm not sold on the guy, yet......

Thanks Jason - Good job

This is my first post. I have been reading the insider for a over a year now and even though I disagree with Jason sometimes. I want to say thanks for the quick updates and keeping me informed.

Let Lloyd, Reche and Thrash duke it out

nate, the season has begun. that stuff is for preseason. who you gonna blame for #85? you guessed it. weird Al.

at this point i want don breux alone in that box up there and call up richie pettibone.

Send Lloyd home. Guys like that hurt the team just by being around.

While Thrash is a great team guy, he is just not effective as a receiver anymore. So we do need a number 3.

In the offseason, I wrote that resigning Thrash and Jansen to their deals was a case of the Skins spending too much on guys past their prime. Their contracts were too long and expensive.

Hope the Caldwell offer is rational though ... I'm guessing the Skins aren't the only interested party

4th - that is funny. I think that Patten was brought in as a #2. Just seemed like he was a #3.

Why is everybody so excited about Reche Caldwell? He's not that good. Exhibit A: He's unemployed more than a two weeks after being cut. Exhibit A1: his career numbers. Exhbit B: Two dropped TDs in AFC championship game. Last season was a fluke. He was "best" receiver on a team where if you're remotely open the QB will hit you.

Regarding Springs: You too would be pissed if you prepared all week for a project at work and as you're about to go in and give your presentation the boss comes up and, without any explanation, says we're going to let Fred do it. This is some more of Dan's "big screen" SJK. Even Stevie Wonder can see that.

F Skippy!

He was unemployed for a week because he is a vested veteran and no one wanted to guarantee his contract.

Choosy moms choose JIF

beep beep

LH, regarding RC: we're not excited about reche. we're excited about what it means for #85. like i say gimme great granny patten over there instead of #85.

re: springs: agreed. thass all i'm saying. and don't even think that that was not intentional. these guys are supersmart up there.

I want Don Breux and Richie Pettibone!

new post.

F the Pats. Reche put up just as many yards in both of his last 2 seasons with the Chargers and 4 more TD's than Lloyd has since he's been with the Skins. He's also much younger than Patten was when we brought him on.

I rather have Marvcus Patton playing WR than Lloyd, Lloyd null and void.

13-D

I got a fix to the B.Lloyd problem that I think everybody will like. Lets put him on the 2nd string O in practice and have him constanly run across the middle against the Reaper and L2, then I would guess by the end of the week he is either on the IR or quits.

Also, on the sportsline power rankings, where do we fall, that site is blocked here?

Hey, what is everyone wearing?

I'll take General Patton and Dick Van Patton over #85

beep beep..........

Caldwell is a little above average all around which makes him our #2 in a few weeks time. The one thing he does have is loads of heart which instantly puts him ahead of he-who's-name-should-never-be-metioned-again-in-the-same-sentance-as Redskin. Once he was a huge talent, but hasn't been the same since a bad knee injury a few years ago. Above average upfield speed, good routes, decent hands, and he caught more passes than anyone on our team last year. He is definitely the best FA WR out there available.

I liked Mcardell, but this is the right move. Too bad we can't pick up two and dump the bum we have, but that was the good old days pre-salary cap.

We rank 17

Huge mistake not trading brunell to hou for A. Johnson. I think that kid's going to have a breakout year. He'll easily be a #1 wr in a couple years.

Somebody asked earlier. 6 feet, 210 pounds

Not a big, but bigger than most of ours. We need a big dependable WR to move the sticks, but this guy can do the job.

Houston is bad but they are not on crack. Nobody offered us their ALREADY #1 WR for Brunella. They didn't go out and get Schaub so they could get rid of the only talent their to throw to.

"there to throw to"

Andre Johnson a #1 reciever in a few years? Are we talking about pro bowler Andre Johnson? I think he is already there.

The Texans trading him for Brunell? Who is your source? Larry, Moe, or Curly?

Time for a Code Red for the receiver! or the Joker treatment (soap wrapped in a towell and wail on the reciver)

Brandon Lloyd has a vagina!

The previous comment is derogatory to all those that have vaginas.

WELCOME RECHE !!! You are a BIG improvement over the thief in our WR corps stealing Danny's money.

#85?? #85?? Calling #85 !!... Oh there you are... guess what? Welcome to Special Teams !!!
