Free Agency and Salary Cap

Prediction: we're not signing Haynesworth

Prediction: We will.

LOL

why do you say that matty

Too much loot, and someone like Tampa has a TON of cap room and can easily outbid us if they want to.

Plus I'm still on the fence as to whether we are really interested or if the rumor is little more than Danny doing a favor for his agent in helping to generate interest and help max out his asking price. I always thought the Briggs rumors were nothing more than Snyder doing a favor for Drew Rosenhaus. I have nothing concrete to base this on, just my view.

you think that he is willing to sacrifice a few million between TB and here...considering TB is rebuilding and knowing he has the chance to win now here in DC

Heres the deal, the redskins are helping to push the market up for Hayensworth, we really have no intention of signing him at all. The big signing will be Hall ,and DE/DT Chris Canty..Along with them a Guard(D.Dockery) & a FA OT

PS..Say Bye Bye to J.Taylor...

Depends on how many million we're talking. Plus, if his main priority is winning, he might as well re-sign with the Titans.

good point...is this all a smoke screen here you think then?........I guess we will find out at 12:01 tonight

If we sign Hall, Canty, etc. we won't necesarily need to cut JT but we'll see.

If we do sign AH, I don't see how we'll be able to do much else without cutting JT, or maybe Springs instead.

I posted this over in the Dockery thread but I think it is more applicable here:

To me, our entire off-season plan hinges on the result of the AH deal. If it happens, then I don't foresee signing anybody other than Hall. If it doesn't, then let's sign Dock, S. Andrews, Canty and Crowley. Solid pick-ups at reasonable prices.

IMO, it is akin to the 2004 off-season. Jevon Kearse was the big-money aquisition. We went after him hard. Instead of throwing (at the time) obscene money at him and getting no one else, we let him go to Phil. Instead, we gave solid contracts to M. Washington, C. Griffin, S. Springs, J. Salavea and T. Tupa.

I would much prefer a free-agent class similar to the 2004 group than one big signing.

When does free agency start? I heard that it started tonight at 12:01am but I also thought it is FRI night at 12:01am.


If it is tonight then I'm staying up late and checking breaking football news. Then I'll go to sleep with the thoughts of sugar-loaded contracts dancing through my head.

I think the interest is legit in Haynesworth. Haynesworth's interest in us is defnitely legit
