Man, I hope this isn't true, that would REALLY limit us in free agency. Getting Hall locked down, maybe signing Chris Canty and a couple offensive linemen would go a long way...

Getting Haynesworth for BIG money is going to force us to sacrifice depth.

Now it's all over ESPN... I don't think I like this... I wanted Hall, Canty, Dockery and maybe Ray Willis (perhaps another crack at DJ Hackett for cheap money after his release.)

Now we signed Haynesworth... that's a LOT of money, what kind of cap situation does it create now?

(On the good side though a 7 year deal would only take him until 35 if completed.)

Cuts must be Looming after this ..at some level anyway..WE NEED DOCK....I hope this doesn't screw us for dock canty I could careless....I bet were trading down in draft as well...13 pick is pricey...they might trade down grab a 2 and low 1

I don't know how to be a Redskins fan anymore. It is totally insane that the Danny does this crap. Vinny was on Mike and Mike sayinf it will only be another month before another DT gets a bigger contract. Ugh.

Well I think it's to much money, but all we can do now is hope for the best. I hope Haynesworth stay's healthy and earns every dime.

Depth, what depth? Who needs depth when you can have an overpaid, pipe swinging, 12 game playin', head kickin', only plays great in contract years DT who won't play but 2/3's of the snaps in the games he's healthy for? we don't need depth!

You are seriously imbalanced. Haynesworth and Dockery? Dockery might be the best free agent non-move of Dan Snyders career and you want him back?

What, are you a Dunkin Donuts owner? :lol:

Glad to see my boy Hall staying with the Redskins, i'm still not sold on Haynesworth, it could workout. Does this mean Springs and Taylor will be out the door?

ESPN.com is saying he will make 32m in the first year of his contract...This is insane...What a incredible waste of money...

You guys are all whiners! "Aww its too much money, thats insane, we overpay everyone" Well you know what it is not your money so dont worry none of us have to fork over any of the 100million(pheww I was worried we were stuck with this tab). Ticket prices aren't going up! And what did you want to take that money and go get some mediocre pieces? Go get four 7's instead of one 10. Where are our holes? (O-Line, D-Line, Linebacker) And apparently we are still going after Dockery.

No, we dont know how this could turn out but were still going to have money we always do and we will have money(somehow) next offseason for all the people no one will want to sign next year. I don't care about huge free agent deals I care about trading picks for stupid reasons because that actually does handicap us.

Look it addresses one of two biggest needs. Who would you be so upset about that they cut for this deal? Is anyone that vital to our 8-8 team? I can think of two (Landry, Samuels) everyone else is expendable. I say screw it if you cant change em' join em' (I say that only in this case of being a fan of the Redskins and not a fan of the front office). I threw in the towel on being upset with this franchise early this week, it was a tough transition, but hey what are you going to do. As I am sure I will be scolded verbally by many of you at least I have peace of mind.

No way he could make 32 million in 1 year. Its only 32 or so guarantee in the contract.

Is Canty still Redskin One bound? Does Taylor get Cut? Springs ?...a lot more questions now...Is Dock still on our radar? Etc
I strongly feel were trading down in the 1st round...grab a 2 ..and Low 1 or 2 2's ..a lot less Guaranteed money and adds depth

Maybe now the Redskins can draft an offensive lineman, which is what they really need to fix as far as offense goes.

I know this might be meaningless to some of you but Shefter on NFL Net reports Canty visiting Titans todays...Skins officially out....So Taylor might stick around afterall..well see

Washington Post says Canty is not coming to Redskins Park. They credit league sources that we are no longer interested after the signing of Fat Albert. Thats all I have heard
