He was born to be a Redskin. (yes, I do think that was a horrible move and he needed the 5-game suspension...I am joking)

He's grown up a lot since then, I don't recall any other incidents since then.

I saw an interview with AH and he stated that he regreted what he did and didn't want his kids to be subject to that kind of thing. Ever since then he has been staying out of trouble.

Well let's suppose we magically were able to do that. Would such sweeping changes make sense? And I guess they'd all start right? So Bodden and Bly (I'm going to guess you meant Leigh Bodden, not Anquan Boldin) start and Rogers becomes the nickel? Crowell and Scott start and McIntosh is benched? Canty starts and who sits? Rabach and Kendall to the bench? I'll admit that's some great talent on the bench

But what about the fact that maybe some (if not most) of those players want to play elsewhere or may not even be the best fits for us. What is Dre Bly going to offer us really at this stage of his career?

As for the folks the Redskins laid off, it sucks but it happens all around the league and all over the country. Colts laid people off, Browns laid people off, Pats laid people off...

You start Rogers and Bodden (Don't have to sign Bly, it was an example of how money could have been spent) Crowell, Scott and Fletcher (McIntosh is the backup due to a bad year and his knees) Canty replaces Evans, Brown/Dockery replace Kendall (again I used one of these players as what we could have gotten for 154M)

You do realize that $154M is not going to leave Snyder's wallet right? NFL contracts RARELY, I'd wager to say NEVER pay out the full amount you see on the news reports. Also, Hall likely won't stay all 6 years and Haynesworth won;t likely be here 7 years.

You have to understand how contracts work in the NFL and guaranteed money. Haynesworth is getting a nice chunk of guaranteed money, a reported $30Mil in the first 13 months of his contract, but the hit on our cap isn't as huge as it sounds when you hear $154Mil.

Great to hear.

Hall didn't cause any problems last year either.

I know some Raiders fans and one of them told me "you don't want a part of Hall". But last year, he was more of a spark plug than a locker room menace for us. Oakland and the Vick-led Falcons were hardly upstanding locker rooms anyways, so I think he'll stick to football with us too, especially since he got paid.

It's called I'm laying low to get the money, which he did. We'll see what he does next year, I'm hope I'm wrong.

You said he was a bust, he clearly was not.

He wants out because of issues he has with Mangini.

Mangini reaching out to disgruntled Browns DT Rogers

I don't see what this has to do with your take that he was a bust.

You should have used the word "or" instead of "and" in your original post

Maybe on Madden. Not in the real world. Boldin isn't even a free agent.

Like the player hate the money. but I voted "I like the French Fries" only cause that's such a great out in left field answer. lol.

I havn't read all the posts but some where saying that should tie up all our money however they are to meet with Canty today. It was reported on ESPN he would arrive today and meet with us. So they are either digging money up from somewhere or planning on letting other people go if he signs.

These guys are still young. This dude is a real talent, and in our system, he does something that Carlos Rogers in incapable of...getting picks.

Haynesworth fills a major need. We need a monster DT, and we got the best.

I am thankful we can afford this. I love it how people hate on Danny...I like him more and more every year. He just wants to win, and I realize that. VC is another story.

Did you read my previous post? I meant Leigh Bodden not Boldin.
