Haynesworth: For the knowledgable fan

That almost certainly defies the NFL rulebook. I don't see how they could be that brazen by having their check signer openly meet with a player's representative in a public place.

That means they had contractual talks before free agency began. I hope all this Snyder dining doesn't result in a penalty from the league.

Seriously, are you REALLY a Redskins fan?

We just vaulted our top-4 defense to top-2 (with Steelers since Ravens/Titans will be weakened after this FA) and you have nothing but complaints.

Soo.....it's true....the sky is now falling?

...Well done you got me. I guess I'm too worried about nothing.


I am concerned though about the all out enthusiasm for the Haynesworth signing. It is far too similar to what happens every year we land the motherlode in the offseason and every gets in a craze and we end up hoisting the Offseason Lombardi in March and spectating a meaningless game in February.

I don't want rationality to get lost among the signing frenzy. My heartrate has been pumping today because of all the huge transactions and it feels like gambling.

....oh yeah, and now Haynesworth can stomp on Andre Gurodes face twice a year.


I'm really excited about this part of the signing!

Snyder has always been the primary negotiator. Nothing has changed in that regard.

It shouldn't result in any penalty. For one thing, it happens all the time around the league. Secondly, the rule is more about direct contact with the palyer or an employee of the team (a coach for example). And finally agents and owners/execs get around this like this: The agent does all the talking (that's completely allowed) and the team guy just listens but doesn't make any response until 12:01 am.

Plus it's impossible to prove they weren't discussing other players that the agent represents who aren't currently under contract or are under contract with said team.

Just a bit of "extra" knowledge, AH will wear #92. I thought he might still negotiate with C. Wilson for #95. We will see!

#92 was his number in Tennessee too

And Reggie White's, who AH admires.

I think having everybody doubt Haynesworth is a good thing though. He is going to want to prove everybody wrong and show that he was worth the money (at least I hope anyway).

You know it's funny that was the first incident that put Haynesworth on everyone's radar, so to speak. You know, folks had a negative opinion of him after that incident.

But I must say after listening to him speak in the intereviews following the presser, this guy is well spoken and pretty intelligent. I just hope he comes here and works his butt off.

All I can say about our offseason thus far is...... HIP HIP... HOORAY......HIP HIP.......HOORAY......HIP HIP.....HOORAY!!!!!!!!! Nice job FO. I know I've posted this multiple times. But after all the FO bashing that's gone on around here. I thought they deserved some props.
