King predicts Haynesworth to Redskins

But seriously folks...the other thing that has to be taken into consideration is the future of two of our interior linemen, Montgomery and Golston. One or both could be gone next year. Surprisingly, I've heard that there's more interest in Golston than Montgomery (who I've heard called a young Haynesworth, both because of his potential and inconsistencies in his dedication). But anyway, it's possible we could lose them...and maybe get a couple of 2nd or 3rd rounders in return.

Do you think that Golston and Montgomery would bring us 2nd or 3rd round picks? These guys are solid, but I don't think they're that good. If a team is willing to give that up, then I'm all for it.

Has to do with Restricted Free Agency tenders. I don't remember the exact amount, but if they were to tender each around $1.5 million then if another team offered a bit higher and the Redskins didn't match within a week then the Redskins would automatically get a 2nd rounder from the team that signed Golston or Montgomery. But sometimes it can be negotiated down (3rd in 2009, 5th in 2010). I've heard of at least 5 teams that are interested in Golston.
