No. you posted a link to a thread about Peppers (that evidently also mentioned haynesworth), so i was just throwing my two cents out there on him. sorry for the confusion.

Peter King sounds like your typical Snyder basher with this article. Man, what have the Redskins done to this guy?

I'm really on the fence with Haynesworth. The guy is a monster no doubt, I'm just scared that once he has a fat new deal in place he might get lazy.

He is not F. Tagged! I can see why many are not embracing the paying of a mercenary because with our history it has not helped us! but with selective FA and using the draft we can get where we want to! We have only just begun using the draft in a way that will bear fruit in a couple of years!

i really hope we get haynesworth. without trying he is still naturally better than any DT we've had in recent memory. well, at least since griff in '04.

Do you want Haynesworth enough that you'd also not sign DeAngelo Hall, cut Springs, cut Griffin, not find a suitable replacement for Marcus Washington, and go into the season with Carlos Rogers (if hes not traded) and Fred Smoot as our starting cornerbacks?... because thats what it would mean. The contract Haynesworth will sign will be the equivalent of the contract for atleast 4 other QUALITY starters for our defense.

Unless the market for Haynesworth completely dematerializes and he wants to sign for us for the "vet minimum" because he loves the redskins so much, he's not worth it.

I believe they can figure out a way to get it done, They always do. Besides would replacing Griffin with haynesworth and letting Springs and Washington go be all that bad. I think they can backload his contract and pray he'll restructure in the future.

I hope this is false. Haynesworth is already said to take time off of plays and isn't exactly what you'd consider a high motor guy. He's quite talented, but how many years does he really have left. Considering the pay-day he'll command -- not worth it at all.

Ruhskins -- Could it possibly be that King is saying the truth? You're biased. I'm biased. We're Redskins fans. From listening to King on NFL radio, he speaks well and backs up all of his opinions with solid facts. He's said many good things about the Redskins and he's brought out our weaknesses. One thing I've learned from NFL radio, is every fan thinks the media picks on/hates their team. I heard Cowboys fans saying they get no respect last off-season. As fans we see our team as the center of the NFL universe, and don't like to hear negative things about our team, even if they are true.

Daseal, I didn't say he wasn't saying the truth, he just sounded a bit demeaning in the tone of his article. Plus, given our cap situation, lack of draft picks, and many other reasons our team could not get a player like Haynesworth, I don't know if I would put it out there that the Redskins are a definite destination for Haynesworth. But you're right, I am being biased and I agree that no one wants their team being picked on by the media. And true, he has made both positive and negative statements about our team in the past and it is his opinion.

I think haynesworth would be a fantastic addition to our defense, but I can't see us signing him with our current cap situation. I would much rather have springs and hall than haynesworth, and although I wouldn't really mind if taylor came back next season, it looks like he's going to, which really doesn't leave us with any cap room.

If he took a big pay cut or agreed to receive most of his salary as a bonus then MAYBE, but I don't think we can objectively look at obtaining haynesworth unless he's shopped around and sees his price go down.

exactly. He certainly doesnt deserve to be the highest paid defensive player in history. I wouldnt even give him top DT money. If snyder does push for haynesworth, all it will prove is that he doesnt care about this team and only wants to sell jerseys.

I really doubt it, I hope that Snyder has grown up that much with Gibbs to not go after the sexy free agents at the expense of the team's salary cap.
