I can't blame the Redskins for dragging this out. The fans and media are making this out to be a bigger deal than it really is.

I would probably feel this way, if AH had been a model player when he was with the Titans, but he wasn't. He was a trouble maker, yet the team decided to pay him $40 mil. Now, I understand an argument about the team wanting to get something in return. And the team should trade him to the team that gives us the best compensation. But as I said, I don't get the whole "let's teach him a lesson" or "we need to set an example to other FA" or "this is a changing culture" crap.
The team has made a myriad of costly mistakes in the past, right up until last year when they wasted two draft picks on McNabb. The only way things are going to change for the Redskins is for management to make sound decisions, do their homework with FA, and stay away from troublemakers.
