King predicts Haynesworth to Redskins

I hope this is false. Haynesworth is already said to take time off of plays and isn't exactly what you'd consider a high motor guy. He's quite talented, but how many years does he really have left. Considering the pay-day he'll command -- not worth it at all.

Ruhskins -- Could it possibly be that King is saying the truth? You're biased. I'm biased. We're Redskins fans. From listening to King on NFL radio, he speaks well and backs up all of his opinions with solid facts. He's said many good things about the Redskins and he's brought out our weaknesses. One thing I've learned from NFL radio, is every fan thinks the media picks on/hates their team. I heard Cowboys fans saying they get no respect last off-season. As fans we see our team as the center of the NFL universe, and don't like to hear negative things about our team, even if they are true.

I have seen Hanesworth on and off the field here in Tennessee alot... The Titans don't want to loose this guy! He will make Jason Taylor and and Carter play better and the CB's don't have to dominate to win...just maintain coverage!!!! Will also help the O-Line in practice.

We have other needs but if we address it right in the draft then I think DT will be added help!

Given the probability that the salary cap era is coming to a close, I would pay ANY PRICE to get Albert Haynesworth.

not to hijack the thread, but do you really think that the cap will go away???????

I'm really on the fence with Haynesworth. The guy is a monster no doubt, I'm just scared that once he has a fat new deal in place he might get lazy.

I hope not matty. Is'nt he F. Tagged?

Had a feeling this rumor might pop up soon

Still, it's a bit presumptious (sp?) to think just because Snyder and Speck are having dinner they must be talking about Haynesworth. Maybe they were just having dinner. Maybe they were talking about another one of Speck's clients, Malcolm Kelly.

Bingo. My first thought when i read this was wondering who else Speck represented. I'm sure Haynesworth was brought up during the conversation (how could he not be?), but theres no way we can put ourselves in a position (financially) to pay Haynesworth.

As to Peppers, I'm pretty sure the Pathers franchised him, and we dont have the ammunition to trade for him. in addition to not being able to afford his salary, by all apperances we are keeping Jason Taylor so i'm not sure how Peppers would fit in with our plans. Really, both Peppers and Taylor are really 3-4 OLBs so i dont understand why we would want both of them.

you took the words right out of my mouth Haynesworth scares me his numbers doesn't suggest the kind of payday he wants

I hope not matty. Is'nt he F. Tagged?

He is not F. Tagged! I can see why many are not embracing the paying of a mercenary because with our history it has not helped us! but with selective FA and using the draft we can get where we want to! We have only just begun using the draft in a way that will bear fruit in a couple of years!

not to hijack the thread, but do you really think that the cap will go away???????

that comment surprised me too. my understanding was that it might go away for a year or two, but would eventually come back in some form or another.

What does Peppers have to do with this? Did King mention Peppers?

i really hope we get haynesworth. without trying he is still naturally better than any DT we've had in recent memory. well, at least since griff in '04.
