Kris Jenkins in Haynesworth out?

Would've been a nice fit a few years ago when he was leaving Carolina but he's of no use to a team that's rebuilding.

If Kris Jenkins didn't tear his ACL every year, then ya i'd take him.

Kris Jenkins has had 2 major injuries in 2 years!
not sure about this one boys!

I've had the chance to meet Jenkins a couple of times this year and I think he's a really nice guy...but I don't want him on the team. He's on the wrong side of 30, he's not healthy, he doesn't care for the Redskins (something from his youth I guess). The last piece I honestly don't think is a huge deal but the first two are deal breakers for me

I hear everything everyone is saying but look at his leadership and experience compare to the nightmare Hayensworth has been and disruption to the team he will continue to be........

He was a very good player. I'd like to stop signing guys with the WAS and start signing guys with the IS. :cool-smil

If you mix old players with young players they will not Jell, simply because the older players will be gone in 1-2 years about the time they should be playing well together. Start Young-start fresh & rebuild. HTTR

Absolutly horrible idea to sign this guy

I to think he is a non fit for the team, not because of his age but his 2 identical knee injuries within 11 months of each other. I don't see him playing a whole season anymore. What he does have going for him is his he is well rested and likes to play on natural grass and knows Redskins are desperately trying to replace Haynesworth.

But, He would not fit the "what we hope is the new mold and philosophy" of, rebuild with young, healthy, hungry talent.

53fan said it well, We need to stop going after the "was good" guys.

NFL.com news: Road-rage assault trial for 'Skins' Haynesworth postponed (http://www.nfl.com/news/story/09000d5d81f072e3/article/roadrage-assault-trial-for-skins-haynesworth-postponed)

Kris Jankins has injury and age issues like everyone else has said. But even though he may like the area and the team, why would a 31 year old want to come to DC over a team that can be in contention ie Jets. In my opinion it would be to get paid, not just check the Cherry Blossoms and reminisce at his UMD hangout spots. I realize that this is all speculation by the writer and not anything from Jenkins camp, so i think the writer is dead wrong.

Besides all that, what makes the writer think the addition of Jenkins would spur the release of Hanynsworth? I feel like Hanynsworth is going to get released or not going to get released regardless of who is added to the team. I feel like Shanahan could care less about the perception of his players, media and the fans have of him, and doesn’t mind keeping AH around regardless of what others may think. Danny is cool with it because its effectively punishing AH and is only costing him marginally more then what hes already paid. I think well try and trade him, but if we cant get a 7th from AFC team or a 5th or 6th from a NFC team then I think we keep him for another year, regardless if Kris da ja vue Jenkins is added or not.

It's funny how people feel that Shanahan should keep Haynesworth but they HAD to get rid of Campbell. I know they are different situations, but still.

"Punishing" Haynesworth is not going to solve the team's problems and personally I think the whole concept is laughable. As long as Haynesworth is on the team, there will always be a media circus around the situation. You'll have people like Kevin Sheehan bringing up issue many times over. Nothing positive will come out of Haynesworth being with the Redskins in the 2011-2012 season.
