There had also been some talk of Shawn Springs being moved into that position, but I've heard recently that he may also be released. My hunch is that they may try to draft a replacement since Archuleta had quite a tough time in coverage last year. Vernon Fox may also in the mix since he started some games at SS for Vincent last year ahead of Archuleta, and played reasonably well, but I don't know if he's the answer. If Archuleta was kept, he could wind up being quite a pricey backup.

Shawn Springs-DB- Redskins Feb. 21 - 7:25 pm et Cornerback Shawn Springs is expected to be released by the Redskins.According to the Washington Post's Jason La Canfora, they could make a play for Dre' Bly and/or Fred Smoot, who was a Redskin before his career was derailed in Minnesota. Springs' 2007 cap number is $7.35 million.

Archuleta threw Greg Williams under the bus in an interview, that's the main reason he got benched. Doesn't look like Greg Williams is going anywhere. Archuleta's signing bonus is too big to cut. Basically, Archuleta is gonna get traded for peanuts imo.
Redskins will probably go to the draft for a safety
all my speculation

Archuleta is apparently still in the Skins plans for 2007.
I'm no capologist TecmoBeast, but I think the Skins would take the same cap hit whether Archuleta is traded or released. I'm with you on the need for a safety if Archuleta isn't seen as the probable answer. If Vernon Fox isn't signed, the alternative looks to be Pierson Prioleau. Which isn't much of an alternative at all.

You're right Jene, the signing bonus has to be paid. Washington is going to pay Archuleta no matter what. Here's a good article on the Archuleta contract

This paragraph sums it up:
Skins have to pay him, gotta think they'd jump at the chance at getting anything in return. I think a latter round pick could be given. Teams often don't trade because they know the said player will be cut anyways, not the case with Archuleta. New team can renegotiate.
