Albert Haynesworth is a Redskin!!!!

You know, When I heard about the deal, I was absolutely shocked. I started texting family and telling them how pissed I was about all this money being spent...

But in all honesty... This is exactly what we've needed for years. We found our answer to Brandon Jacobs. We have exactly the player that this line has been lacking. We have two DE's that have consistently made QB's step into the pocket, but have always lacked the penetrating DT's to collapse it. Enter AH.

This will instantly make our defense top 3. I think this is the perfect player for this team, and if your going to get the perfect player, you've got to pay perfect player money.




I'm officially on the AH bandwagon.

Redskins will have a press conference to introduce Big Al at 5pm est at Redskin Park to day!!

Alot of you will be surprised, especially given our tone and the way we writ eon dcprosportsreport.com (http://www.dcprosportsreport.com) about the Redskins, much of our criticism well deserved, but here are my thoughts on Haynesworth. Granted, my part at dcprosportsreport.com will likely have an entirely different view.

There were 6 other teams in the running. Word is, several of them were not offering what the Redskins were BUT were pretty darn close. So, my feeling is, was this a position of great need? Answer, YES. Is he the best at his position in the NFL? MOST would say YES. So, would I have offered that deal? YES.

Now, i do believe much of the guaranteed money will be paid in the uncapped salary year of next year? Is that correct?

Overall, good signing.

If you're gonna spend money like this, which I am not sure is wise really, at least we paid for a dominant player at a cog position.

The only ODD or WEIRD thing about this is, we have now restructured Griffin and really makes no sense to keep Grif. I would rather see a duo of Golston and Montgomery beside Haynesworth than the frequently injured Griffin.

Lets hope he gives it at least 70% :) I wonder how many warpathers are in favor of the Haynesworth aquisition vs how many against it?
(yes I'm hinting of a poll)

I'm 100% not in favor of this move. History shows that these type of moves rarely pan out. Haynesworth has already played 7 years and has a history of getting hurt and has questionable character. The only good thing about this is that we didn't have to give up draft picks. Another bad move by the FO.

Unless we can pick up a OL player in free agency or two then go LB in a deep draft at that spot!

Your right........i'm a huge fan of Ray Maualuga

To me, the fact that we were able to do this while keeping Cornelius Griffin is huge. Griffin is capable of having a big season himself. Teams doubling Haynesworth should give Griifin, as well as the DE's, more opportunity to make big plays.

I think keeping Griff adds leadership to the defensive line, and he should have a good influence on AH. Like everyone here, I like the player, don't necessarily love the money however we were calling for a better pass rush and run stop, and I think we got it. I am a bit concerned about the team's ability to get an offensive lineman, I think read in the Wash Post that the talks with Dock have stopped? I hope not and I hope we can get him for cheap.

Think how Romo must feel. And McNabb and Eli too. :)

I love the signing because, for a few years we'll all seen and complained how the D-Line is our biggest hole, especially the DTs. We can no longer say it is a weakness.

If our O-line can stay healthy or we upgrade it with the draft, we're a rock solid team everywhere except kicker/punter...and hopefully our defense can negate the punting situation and the offense can score TDs instead of relying on Suisham.

We are a better team now than last year already.

I hope we can get Dockery somehow now.
