Kris Jenkins to Redskins could be a good fit - NFL Nation Blog - ESPN (http://espn.go.com/blog/nflnation/post/_/id/38966/kris-jenkins-to-redskins-could-be-a-good-fit)
"Pop Jenkins, a guy who wants to be in Washington, into Haynesworth’s place, and the Redskins might be able to solve a big problem".
What do you all think?

I like the premise. Of course, 31 year old off injury begs a bit of a question but the article makes good points.

He's old and coming off a big injury.....
What makes him any different than Kemo?

What do you all think?
I think repeating the same thing over and over again expecting different results is insanity.
and a 31-year-old coming off another major injury
Sound familiar?
The 31-year-old Kemoeatu signed a two-year, $7 million deal with the Redskins. When Kemoeatu’s visit with the Redskins was first reported, it didn’t look like a signing was close because Kemoeatu isn’t close to being completely recovered from the torn Achilles’ tendon that cost him the entire 2009 season. But apparently the Redskins are satisfied that Kemoeatu is on the road to recovery.

Both are 31 years old when available for free agency. Both played in Carolina at some point. Both are Nose Tackles. Both are coming off big injuries during their respective free agent years.
This is deja vu.
Still as far as Jenkins is concerned, well simply put he's like a Ferrari with a 150,000 miles.
Stud if he's healthy, but coming off back to back ACL tears? Yikes.
I would consider him for part of a rotation, but I wouldn't bring him in expecting him to be the main guy at the nose.
Kemo's situation was a bit different, an Achilles injury is tougher to come back from.

I really like Jenkins but he is just too beaten up to be a serious factor.

For the veteran minimum. The guy is a health liability, always hurt.

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
