Skins Land Haynesworth - Redskins Insider (http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/2009/02/skins_land_haynesworth.html)
Dallas free agent defensive end Chris Canty, who had agreed at around 2 a.m. to visit Redskins Park, will not be coming here, and has other visits scheduled. He does not appear to be in Washington's plans now.

Now this is news because he was scheduled to come here today and we dissed him.
That also means they didn't know if they could foot the Haynesworth bill when they scheduled Canty. We must be on thin cap ice after the Haynesworth signing.
Man...it looks like we blew our load with Haynesworth. I think I rather of had multiple free agents instead of one big one. Haynesworth could get hurt and there goes our offseason improvements.

He is headed to Tenneesse I read....Now I hope we can look for a OL player or two. If Vinny can do that and keep Taylor I would be a happy REDSKIN Fan!!!!!!! Now I need to get tickets to the Raiders/Redskins game out here!!!
I was really hoping we could work some magic and fit Canty in. I was daydreaming of a starting d-line of Haynesworth, Canty, Griffin, and Taylor.

Jesus that would have been insane.

Yeah I'm disappointed about Canty. Good young D linemen. Oh well. Can't get them all.

This makes sense. With Haynesworth and Hall in the fold, and Dockery still on the radar, we're just flat out of cap space. We need a G more than we need Canty at this point.
Woulda been real cool to have him facing Dallas twice a year, but I can't complain about giving him up to get Albert.

With Hall locked up we could have booted Springs and signed Canty as well.

What is our cap looking like right now?...and Can we release Springs and free up enough to after a quality OL?

Cap is tight right now, maybe room for Dockery, maybe. We could release Springs and gain $6M in space, which will be enough for a big money OL, but I don't think we'll do that.
They still love Springs.
