um, if the cap goes, doesn't the draft go with it? isn't the draft illegal without the union's consent?
so college players would be immediate free agents, right? or is that a completely separate issue?

Yea there won't be a draft after the CBA runs out. I think right now the last draft is 2011.

I am 99.9% sure Haynesworth will be our starting DT in '09I don't think any other team will give out the type of money he's asking for.

I've been a harsh critic of the Cerrato regime however this would be signing, while costly stands in stark contrast (right now) to previous mishaps. While I won't argue that the redskins are learning, after all Hanesworth is arguably the sexiest name out there, I would argue that this signing could be the best yet.
Albert is young and is the best DT in the game. Perhaps more important is what he's not, which is old and a skill position player. The past few years have seen us try to rush to overpay sexy names at sexy position (Llyod, Randel el, Jason Taylor, Archuleta, Duckett, D. Sanders, Bruce smith, etc), defensive tackle has to be the least sexy position that isn't special teams. More importantly, DT is (in my opinion) is the most important position on the defensive side of the ball (games are won and lost on the both lines, give me a great lines and average everything else and we'll win games). Elite run stoppers demand double teams freeing up DEs, LBs and blitzing Safeties to make plays. This would be a great move.

Thanks to being the Redskins, I think the fact that there's no impact player on this defense has gone unnoticed for too long. Haynesworth is a real impact player. But he alone doesn't make us a lock for the playoffs, so we'll see. If Blache doesn't change his habits, we won't get a single dollar of value out of this.
I think he will though, it's really hard to act like a defensive coordinator and not realize you have Albert Haynesworth at nose.
