King predicts Haynesworth to Redskins

I don't doubt AH can be a stud when he wants to. Again, I just have a bad feeling.

Completely understood. I know what we're paying for...but is that what we're gonna get?

We wouldn't have had this issue if we had just signed Justin Smith last year :)

But seriously folks...the other thing that has to be taken into consideration is the future of two of our interior linemen, Montgomery and Golston. One or both could be gone next year. Surprisingly, I've heard that there's more interest in Golston than Montgomery (who I've heard called a young Haynesworth, both because of his potential and inconsistencies in his dedication). But anyway, it's possible we could lose them...and maybe get a couple of 2nd or 3rd rounders in return.

Fat, lazy and oft-injured. His best years are behind him, and he's had a history of injury. The Skins need to transform into Tennessee in this equation. They need to be the team that drafts players like Haynesworth, not the one that signs him as a 29 year old free agent.

Do as the Steelers do. Pay them once, pay them twice, but let some other sucker pay them the third time.

For the record he'll be 28.

Do you think that Golston and Montgomery would bring us 2nd or 3rd round picks? These guys are solid, but I don't think they're that good. If a team is willing to give that up, then I'm all for it.

If we do lose one of those guys (and the Haynesworth rumor is true), I wouldn't mind it being Golston for a 3rd rounder.

Both Haynesworth and Canty are just rumors at this point of course. But I will say that beyond JLC, almost no one is saying the Redskins are going to heavily pursue Canty. It's more like a plan B or even C for them. It's smelling more like a case of Canty's camp pushing a rumor to drive up his price.

Has to do with Restricted Free Agency tenders. I don't remember the exact amount, but if they were to tender each around $1.5 million then if another team offered a bit higher and the Redskins didn't match within a week then the Redskins would automatically get a 2nd rounder from the team that signed Golston or Montgomery. But sometimes it can be negotiated down (3rd in 2009, 5th in 2010). I've heard of at least 5 teams that are interested in Golston.

i hate to see our young guys get away like that, but turning a 5th rounder into a 2nd rounder is still a good value, provided you don't waste the pick.

oh yeah, if detriot is serious about haynesworth, that's a really good sign, due to coaching ties to the player.

Apparently I was on to something when I suggested that we should pursue Chris Cantry.
