Look at the past teams that picked up big name free agents the last few years. Cleveland spent a ton of money last year and didn't make the playoffs. Shawn Rogers was a bust. What about the Jets? They spent a ton of money and didn't make the playoffs. What abou the year before? SF spent a lot of money and never made the playoffs. Just cause you bring in a talented player doesn't automatically mean that the player will play well in his new system. AH only knows Tenn's defense and their system. Perhaps he doesn't fit well with what Blache and co does. As I said, history shows it doesn't work.

Kris Jenkins was a beast for the Jets so I blame the offense for the Jets not reaching the playoffs. But overall, no free-agent has dominated the way Haynesworth has for the last two years.

Nothing is guaranteed but he is the best player available at our weakest position on defense.
New system? Blache is still using Gregg Williams defensive scheme that was carried over from Tennesee. The Titans still run basically the same scheme (Gregg Williams) that Haynesworth has excelled in for the last 7 years, so I don't see a problem with him "fitting in".
Like I said, nothing is guaranteed but this was a very good move by the Little Danny and his sidekick Vinny.

Might be time to change your sig Crab I hope.

lol, yeah it might be but let's see what Vinny does about shoring up our biggest need...the offensive line. It's been known for the last 2-3 years that our line needed upgrading, big time and they just kept ignoring it and when Vinny said that he doesn't draft for need, that was the nail in his coffin for me.
So far so good though and it's still early in the FA market. Hopefully Vinny WILL draft for need this year and get the offensive line fixed.

Huh? Yeah the Browns as a team were a bust last year but Rogers was a pure beast for them and was in the Pro Bowl.

Did he make the players around him better? Why does he already want out after one year?

Because Mangini is an ass

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.

The Jets didn't make the playoff because Brett Favre threw a whole bunch of interceptions at the end of the season. I think they fielded a decent defense, given how competitive the AFC East was this past season.

Shawn Rogers was not necessarily a bust, and just like us, the Browns had their offensive issues as well (remember Braylon Edwards dropping all those passes?).

And I think the 49ers were giving up on their coach this year, yet don't forget that they were a few games away from being the AZ Cardinals.

My point is bringing in high priced FA's doesn't seem to translate into wins. Does it?

You forget the redskins official motto in the Daniel Snyder era:

"Just because its never worked before, that doesnt mean it wont start working now."
