Editing Brandon Lloyd (section)

===Washington Redskins===
On Saturday March 11, 2006, the [[San Francisco 49ers]] traded Lloyd to [[Washington Redskins]] in exchange for a third-round draft pick in the [[2006 NFL draft]] and a fourth-round pick in the [[2007 NFL draft]].  His first season in Washington is widely considered a failure, as he caught 23 passes for no touchdowns.  According to [[Howard Bryant]] of the ''Washington Post'', citing NFL.com, "Lloyd suffered through the worst season for a starting receiver in the Super Bowl era... No starting No. 2 wide receivers in the NFL started more games (12) while producing less (23 catches, 365 yards)."

Lloyd never made it out of [[Joe Gibbs]]' doghouse, due to a questionable attitude and alleged poor work ethic.  Later, Lloyd admitted as much, that he was in fact disrespectful to the Hall of Fame head coach.<ref>{{Cite web |last=Steinberg |first=Dan |date=March 15, 2012 |title=Brandon Lloyd says he was disrespectful to Joe Gibbs |url=https://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/dc-sports-bog/post/brandon-lloyd-says-he-was-disrespectful-to-joe-gibbs/2012/03/15/gIQABQUrES_blog.html |access-date=November 5, 2023 |newspaper=Washington Post}}</ref> On Sunday, November 4, 2007, Lloyd was listed among Redskins inactive as the team travelled to play against the New York Jets.  Citing the reason behind the move, Gibbs said that Lloyd had been told to remain behind in Washington as disciplinary action for missing important team meetings.  Lloyd would spend the latter part of the 2007 season on injured reserve after having snapped his collar bone while making a diving touchdown catch during team practice.<ref>{{Cite web |date=November 14, 2007 |title=Broken collarbone to sideline Redskins WR Lloyd|agency=Associated Press |url=https://www.espn.com/nfl/news/story?id=3110798 |access-date=November 5, 2023 |website=ESPN.com |language=en}}</ref>
