This is another disastrous move by Cerratto/Snyder. They are not about addressing needs, they are about selling a once great brand to the masses who don't have the sense to know any better. To Dan Snyder there is only money. That's his whole universe.

Offseason isn't over. We can still sign another free agent on offense, and there's the draft. We do need to address the OL, for sure. But we also need to get our Thomas, Kelly, and Davis out there to complement Moss, Portis, and Cooley and together with JC's growth the offense should improve.

Investing so much in Haynesworth does present a bit of a risk but it potentially takes our defense to an elite level which makes the team much better...and we don't have to look to Ryan Boschetti for depth anymore. Now starters like Golston finally go to where they belong (solid depth on the bench)

Disastrous move is quite hyperbolic

Hyperbolic is all the rage. I even wrote a rap about it.

Just in case Demetric Evans had any doubts about the Skins bringing him back ....

Assuming a 50% markup all the Skins need to do is sell 2.9 million of those things and Albert Haynesworth pays for himself!

Whats the big deal that he stepped on the guys face? Thats a plus in my book. That stuff happened every week back in the day and was just a part of football. Now it is too violent and not good sportsmanship. He should have received a bonus for every stitch the guy had to get.

I no longer question the FO's number crunchers. They're the best in the business and in Redskins' land, there is no such thing as salary cap hell. I voted "love the player and the money" because of this.

I look at the moves in context- we picked up the best tackle in football and signed a CB (which our coaches seem to think) is going to step into the top slot. Both have prime years left. We shed Springs and Washington (I'll keep my avatar up for a little while longer, in tribute) who can't stay on the field and are way past their golden years.

Why not shake things up in a major way? It's nice to build "the right way", but it's not like we ended the season as an up-and-coming squad full of momentum and youth. The fan base is not patient and our tickets are the highest among professional sports. We expect excellence every season and cannot wait for rebuilding years.

Would you rather have Portis run into Albert twice a season or would you rather have the rest of the division's guards have to deal with him? Turnover city... here we come!

Wow, that's a lot of money. I don't really care about the total amount of the contract but 41 million is a sh*t load of money. My take is he'll be great for at least 2 years, good for 2 more, and OK or injured for 1 year. That defense better be a monster and we better win the line of scrimmage every game.

[Ruhskins]

Watching the presser right now.

[Dirtbag59]

Man Haynesworth is actually a pretty decent speaker. Nothing special but definitely articulate. I wonder how much this press conference is worth in terms of his contract?

[rstone1979]

We got a guy who already has stomped on Cowboys so lets hope he can bring what he brought to Tennessee without the unsportsmanlike stuff

Just watched Haynesworth's presser. I must admit, I'm very impressed.

He did a good job. Addressed the incident with Gurode right away, and got that over and done with. I think this incident and its aftermath made an impact on him and he knows better. He talked about coming in and making plays, be a disruptive force, and making others around him better.

[itvnetop]

He commands double teams on every single snap. When have we had a DT like that?
