You think Tampa Bay wouldn't be able to give him more money than we could? I mean they do have 50 mil of cap space.

Yeah, but are they willing to drop that money on him in a bad market. The face value of tickets may not be effected. But you have to figure that jersey sales, food sales, and advertising money is going to decrease. So it's a risk.

And the reason they have cap space, is because they've been relatively frugal in spending money. It would take a business model shift for them to drop $15 mill a year on something considered to be high risk. Which he is.

Dan is gambler, and is not afraid of high risk items, if he can envision a payoff, or playoff, if you will.

Re: Free Agency and Salary Cap

there's a difference between tons of money, and dan snyder's version of tons of money. i'm sure it's purely financial.

I read somewhere yesterday that the Giants were rumored to be interested in haynesworth. If thats true, they are obiouvly the more attractive destination for haynesworth.

Interested or not, I'm sure they would be happy to drive the price up.

I'd hate to see him go there. Doesn't seem like their style though to spend big $$ on a FA. We'll see though.

If this were to happen, we'd better give our offensive lineman guns to fend off that d-line.

I agree. And the thought of Justin Tuck, Osi Umenyiora, and Albert Haynesworth on the same defensive line makes me want to go hide under my bed.
