Albert Haynesworth is a Redskin!!!!

[MdBluefinCrab]

Getting Haynesworth is exactly what this defense needs. Get rid of Springs and Taylor, pick up Dockery for cheap money (was never really impressed with Dockery...over rated) and draft an offensive lineman with our 1st pick.
Hopefully, this will shore up our offensive line, with the addition of Dockery and a top draft pick and give JC the protection that he needs to hopefully be the QB that everybody seems to think he is (me?...not!).
This is probably the last year that the salary cap will be in place and The Little Danny and Vinny know this, hence, the big bucks. As much as I dislike our owner and sidekick, this was a very good move on their part.

Its times like these where it pays to have a owner like Snyder. Especially next season.

We will totally regret this signing - WAY more downside than updside. Here's my reasons:

1) Too much $$. That is Peyton Manning money and you can't tell me that Fat Albert (who will probably participate in only about 60% of the snaps) is worth that.

2) His old team and Detroit (new HC is old DC at Titans) did not go after him aggressively at all. They obviously know he's NOT worth the money.

3) He's hurt. A lot.

4) He's got no motivation to perform - and has shown to be a player that needs motivation to perform.

5) The Titans' system was designed to collapse the pocket from the outside via speed rushing DE's and force the QB to step up into Fat Albert's path. I think we'll find out that this HUGELY inflated his numbers.

6) Not a high-character guy. (Neither is DeAngelo Hall who we just blew another rediculous wad of money on). This is the anti-Gibbs philosophy. How many perennial SB contenders do you see with character issue guys? Patriots? Steelers? Bad for team chemistry.

7) I guarantee you that in 2-3 years we're going to have a situation where we'll have to re-wicker his contract and it's going to be a media mess with trash-talking, holdouts, etc...

8) At this price, short of a repeat of what he did last year - it will be a complete DISASTER.

9) Cut & Paste all of these comments for MeAngelo Hall as well.

Soul-Skins: I hope I'm wrong. I really do. But this one doesn't smell like a good deal...

I agree w/all 9. Really seems that DS has amnesia.
