Even without a cap, is there any way we could justify the type of money at one position to have both Wilfork and Haynesworth on the payroll? Even the Yankees don't have Mark Teixeria and Ryan Howard and Prince Fielder, even though they could easily afford to pay them all and have a DH spot in their lineup.
how would wilfork and haynesworth be playing the same position?

Not sure I understand the need for both guys either...

I got a 3-4 DE we should look at, Brandon Deadrick from Alabama, stops the run and gets near the QB a lot.

If the FO was smart they would temper the FA spending for at least a couple seasons til they get a grasp of the salary caps future(non future). Any FA acquisitions should be moderate contracts to bolster our rather thin depth at some defensive skilled positions. I am sure we will gain some starters from these moves. Use the picks of the latter rounds to address the same issue. I hope the cap is killed off permanently, but who knows. I just don't want us to get nailed(fined a hefty sum) or lose drafts picks if we are found to be way over the cap if it is reinstated in 2011 or 2012.
If this front office has done anything well over the years it's working the cap and finding creative ways to stretch it to the limit. I think they'll be fine going forward even in an uncertain time. Working the cap is right up BA's alley.

The way I understood it, Haynesworth is not a nose tackle and would continue to play on the end of the line. Wilfork plays on the nose. Sounds like a good combination to me...

i agree with you. as many high profile high dollar players we have it seems they find a way year after year to stay under the salary cap figure...so i guess we have to give them kudos for that

I read the article a few days ago when Jason Reid put it on Insider.
Still leaves the question whether AH's heart would really be in playing nose tackle... (although the "stunting nose tackle" action seems to fit him well -- for a couple of plays at a time, of course)
Would there be a problem of Wilfork and AH playing side by side? (other than the cost, of course:)
