And Vinny Cerrato continues to remake the Redskins into a championship football team. According to Mr. Sports Bog, the Washington Redskins announced today that they have released wide receiver Brandon Lloyd.

And so ends another chapter in the forgettable 2006 Redskins off-season. Safety Adam Archuleta barely made it through one season before getting shipped to Chicago (after collecting $10 million in guarantees, of course), and now Lloyd, the guy some Redskins coach/front-office type thought would complement Santana Moss nicely and give Jason Campbell another deep weapon, is free to work on his freestylin' skillz 24/7.

That Lloyd didn't work out came as a shock to exactly no one outside of Redskins Park. Lloyd ends his Washington (and maybe NFL) career with 25 receptions over two seasons and zero touchdowns. And just like Archuleta, Lloyd got $10 million in guaranteed dough, although it's hard to say who was less deserving.

For Washington, the most amazing thing isn't that they even considered Lloyd a legitimate NFL wide receiver, it's that they're holding on to this weird misconception that the quickest way to the Super Bowl is through the wideout position. They've not-so-secretly coveted Chad Johnson this off-season. And while Johnson's roughly a billion times better than Lloyd, he'll have minimal effect on the 'Skins final record.

Which should make it all the more entertaining when Mr. Cerrato works his magic to acquire Mr. Cinco.
