It's being reported - $15-$16 million per year.

Smart move? It's not the best move in the world but the Skins are DESPARATE for linemen so they're hands may be tied. They need to get the best out there.

Show one source. Way to make me waste a minute looking up this false crap.

You mean they aren't spending $15 million a year for another new tight end??

The good thing is if they sign Haynesworth then at least Jason Taylor will have someone to hang out with in rehab when the Skins re-sign him.

Steve K-

Just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber...

Why would this surprise anyone? If it is a big-name guy who is either used up or who is injured repeatedly and stands a pretty good chance of breaking down in a critical position and who demands big-time money, odds are pretty damn good Snyder will sign the idiot up.

Didn't this asshole make a name for himself by cleating someone lying on the ground after a play?

I've read the Haynesworth plays his best when under one year contracts and has the incentive to play harder.
In true Dan Snyder fashion, he takes away all incentive to players he signs.
Jason Taylor coming back is a done deal according to NFL.com He still has 2 years on his contract.

If they get him, will they have any money left to fill other badly needed positions or for the draft?

Haynesworth is pretty good, but I don't know about $100 millions.

Yeah, he needed like 30 stitches and it came close to taking the guy's eye out.

Doesn't look like a done deal-WUSA 9 is reporting Haynesworth has "narrowed his choices" to the Bucs, Titans and Skins.

i see alot of fairweather fans on here. im all for it any kind of production from big albert would be a great addition.

go redskins!

Doesn't look like it's happening

You're a damn idiot. Bleacher Report is a rumor site, not factual. This is the same site that reported Manny Ramirez was going to the Yankees, and Shaq was going to retire 4 years ago. Sure Haynesworth is a possibility, but not one viable website says he chose the Skins, or the Skins have commited to him.

As for calling me dumb, you would do it through a computer. You are probably one of those scronny men who never played a down in your life.

Steve K -

I'm certainly not "scronny" and me calling you dumb is not as bad as you embarrassing yourself in your posts.

Bleacher Report didn't break the news - read the first sentence.

"ProFootballTalk.com, the Houston Chronicle and SI.com have all had blurbs confirming that the Washington Redskins are going to sign Pro Bowl defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth to a contract."

You couldn't be a bigger jackass if you tried.

P.S. I played football and basketball in the WCAC against players that went on to D1 schools and the NBA while you were tickling your jingleberries in the drama club.

It's not that it isn't happening. The agent is denying it because he and Snyder are being scrutinized for trying to cut a deal before the official start of free agency. Of course, this scrutiny could result in the deal not going through.

HE CLEATED A COWBOY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

THATS ENOUGH FOR ME, SIGN HIM UP.

After re-reading, I think you're right. It's the kind of "non-statement" statement lawyer talk, and he's not really saying there isn't interest or there haven't been back channel discussions.

I like him, but toooo expensive without cutting J Taylor or making some other cuts.

two thumbs up

Too expensive! Geez, we need OL help above all and while a giant DT like Haynesworth seems enticing, look at the projected cost.

It's stupid; which means....Snyder will probably sign Haynesworth.

Someone needs to name a big name, big dollar signing like this that has worked out. Maybe Portis. But really, who else?

Andre Carter, London Fletcher, Shawn Springs, all 3 good signings...

time will tell with Jason Taylor who i think played pretty well, DeAngelo Hall not to bad, and i think Cornelius Griffen was a F.A who has been consistent.


also Portis came over in a trade so idk if you would consider him a big dollar signing.

The Skins need to come to the realization that they're more than one year and the-next-big-free-agent away from contending and just learn to use their draft picks wisely so they don't have so many emergency holes to fill.

I highly doubt you played in the WCAC. If you played football, you probably never played, and you did not play basketball for a WCAC school. I highly doubt you even went to a WCAC school, looking at your grammar in the first post.

As for Haynesworth, it looks like it might very well happen. When you posted this yesterday though, you left no link to a source and when I googled it, no results came up. Next time leave a source, and Steve lets have a kinder reaction. I speak for all Redskins fans, when I say this is a hell of a player to sign. I do get worried about his injuries though, and I do not think he is worth 1 million dollars a football game.

I do anticipate Jason Taylor having a good year, last year he was injured alot, and he comes in with a chip on his shoulder to prove he is still a game changer. Taylor and Haynesworth on the D-line is very solid, then with Carter and a healthy Daniels, wow. The Redskins always look good on paper, but hopefully they will step up this year. I still say we need a good reciever to compliment Moss, Randle El is good but he is not a number 2. With Haynesworth taking so much money, it will be hard to get a quality WR.

I will give you Fletcher and Carter and it seems like Hall is a good fit. But Shawn Springs, as good as he is, has spent way too much time on the bench with injuries. He comes in for a game or two and ends up spending the next four on the bench.

I did, in fact, go to a WCAC school and I did play ball there. My team actually defeated the #3 team in the country at one point. Where did you go?

Also, there's nothing wrong with my grammar in the first post. I misspelled desperate but the grammar is fine.

Neeeeeeeeeeeext.

Also, although the need for a receiver is real, the Skins have way more pressing needs. Plus they drafter two wide receivers last year. Kelly and Thomas are looking like busts but there is no way they will go out and sign another receiver after drafting two. That would mean paying good money for a #2 guy, moving Randle El to #3 and having the top 2 draft picks from last year on the bench. That just won't happen.

It's critical to get an O-lineman. Does anyone remember when Samuels went down and Geisinger had to block Terrell Suggs? It was a show. Plus injuries lead to more injuries - BOTH starting tackles were injured last year. This year will be a repeat if we don't start to get some decent big guys up front on offense.

If you have a decent O-Line, the need for a "big play" receiver decreases because a strong o-line will give Moss or Randel El time to get open. Also, while Malcolm Kelly appears to be a bust, I think it is too early to tell on Devin Thomas. He did have a couple of decent catches during the season and he ran that reverse against the Giants for a touchdown. One thing that Thomas seems to have that Kelly and Fred Davis don't is heart. If the Skins ever get a good O-Line and give Thomas a chance to get down field, he may end up being a decent WR.

They are hands may be tied? (tutorial: in this case you would use their) Great grammar Really! I went to Holy Trinity High School in Chicago years ago, and if you went to a WCAC school, you obviously did not do very well.

You're not a suburbanite. Suburbanite went to school in the SUBURBS, not the city. Poser.

So what are the odds Colt Brennan ends up starting sometime this season?

I'm trying to do my dayjob as well as respond to you so I didn't do so well. Thanks for attempting to deride my high school success, though. I did do well, went to a top 40 university and now I have a good job so eat S.

By the way, how was the male cheerleading at Holy Trinity while you were there?

WashingTone Locian Wrote:

im still behind Jason C. for at least another year. remember with a heathly o-line and Portis running strong Campbell had like 8 TD's and 1 INT, if he can continue to improve, and show some game changing qualities Brennan should be held off for awhile.

I feel like Campbell will go the way of Patrick Ramsey, although he has had more success. Ramsey wasn't a bad QB when he came to the Skins. He just got bamboozled by different coaches and a weak O line. Campbell could have been pretty decent but he only has 1-2 more years before he's going to get major heat from the fans. It's not his fault that he's never won a Super Bowl.

The O line is old and they deteriorate over the course of the season. And as they deteriorate so does Portis. I wouldn't be surprised if we go 5-2 to start the season and then choke the rest of the season. We just don't have the depth on the line or the health to go for 16 games. Jansen and Samuels are hurt every year - how much longer before one of them blows out a knee and is pretty much done for his career?

Campbell is a big arm, stand in pocket guy. He has no pocket and the West Coast Offense really isn't geared toward a lot of deep throws. I like Campbell, but I don't think this is a good offense for him. I don't know if Brennan is any good or not, but from what I recall from his college days, he seems to be a better fit for a short passing game that requires a lot of roll outs to get away from pressure. Until the Redskins get serious about the O-Line, a passer like Brennan might be the best option.

I lost all my confidence in Campbell last year. I just don't think he has the smarts to play quarterback. The coaches don't feel comfortable with him calling audibles and this is usually because the QB doesn't have a solid grasp of reading defenses.
I also don't think he has any confidence in throwing past 15 yards.

The skins have a bizarre theory that if you draft a really good QB, he should not play for at least the first year or two. But by then, they've forgotten how to play and lost all their mojo. I fear this will happen to Colt, if it hasn't already.

I agree that he doesn't feel comfortable passing over 15 yards. I wouldn't either if I knew there was a 95% chance I'd get mowed down by an 250-lb NFL linebacker. He has no time and is scared of getting killed. They should draft linemen the next two years and let Colt Brennan play after that. If he does well, good. If he doesn't they can draft or sign a new QB. If the Arizona Cardinals can do it we can, too.

Wash Post is reporting the Haynesworth signing. The OP is vindicated.

SKINS 7-9

Hall and Haynesworth are both signed to long-term deals.

Well, at least they are throwing money at positions they need filled. Hopefully this works out.

Now they need to do something about the O-Line.

Yep.

I expect Zorn will be out the door at the end of this season. Maybe Cowher will be ready to come back then.

I don't think Cowher would ever coach for Snyder.

If the skins look like they're gonna go 7-9, I think Zorn will be gone before the season ends.

I think the 7-9 scenario is very possible if Campbell remains QB, but I suspect he'll be pulled out halfway through the season.

How is that teams like the steelers, Pats, Titans and others always end up in the playoffs or beyond, yet never make a big splash in FA? New England never spends shit in FA and yet always seems to find great players, or at least players that fit their scheme.

I would be shocked, but very happy to eat my words if the skins even make it to the NFC Championship game.
Your a homer and that's okay, but it's also okay to criticize and voice our opinions of ways to improve our life-long, beloved Washington Redskins. Besides, in the last 10 years or more, the track record of the front office has not been very impressive.

This news is disgusting. Haynesworth, with a reputation of being a hoodlum on the field, gets top salary for nearly maiming a player during a game. No fine, just a 15 yard penalty, while Wes Welker is fined 50K for making a snow angel. I can no longer be a Redskins fan.

Pure Class

He was suspended for 5 games and forfeited close to 200K in salary- that's a pretty steep fine. And then he was also penalized an additional 15 yards for taking his helmet off after the incident. Christ what a nut. He seems to have wised up since then though.

I stand corrected. I seem to remember hearing about the 5 game suspension, but didn't read about it. Still, 200K in fines is change for someone who makes tens of millions and should have been criminally charged. Did you really have to bring Christ in to it?

He did not make tens of millions back then during the incident.

Yeah- it was a Cowboy player that he stomped... so it's all good.

Probably had something to do with why the Skins were so interested in him... he already shows a passionate hatred for our biggest rival!!

reaLly

It's a shame Haynesworth turned out to be such a bust.

He sucks.

He satisfied my wife. Was worth it.
