King predicts Haynesworth to Redskins

Its a bit risky letting them both go, but 2nd round picks would be enough for me to accept the risk.

That said, I think Tampa Bay has done enough today to essentially inform the league they plan on signing Haynesworth to the biggest contract in history of football and taking a 35M cap hit in 2009 to do it... and when we play the bucs this year, our interior linemen can thank them giving Haynesworth so much money so that he's no longer motivated to try and knock the living crap out of them.

I wasn't advocating that we would let them both go, but only that if we bring them both back, either 1) one of the two never sees the field, or 2) they both split an amount of playing time that is insignificant.

If haynesworth has any common sense, he'll come here because were not rebuilding like TB, plus if he does sign with TB a year from now he could be asking for a trade or release because TB's gonna suck next year and is rebuilding so he should go to a team that is good and not close to rebuilding (us)

Woah. Try reading that sentence a few times in a row... I may dream about the word "rebuilding" tonight.

Seriously though, I think Haynesworth just wants a payday. He's looking for $$$ much more than he's looking for a winner.

While we are not in a "rebuilding" mode right now the Skins could be rebuilding very soon if some players don't step up, in that case we would be rebuilding our whole team and not just rebuilding our o-line, or maybe rebuilding the secondary if hall smoot and rogers all go away, thank goodness we are not rebuilding yet but rebuilding could start any day.

I think we should be in rebuilding mode cause the players we currently have are not good enough for us to be a SB contending type of team. We should do what TB did IMO.

This year we cannot afford the cap hits that cutting old players would cost us. Nor do we have a new Coach/GM/Coaching Staff (well ours is a year old, but I think that makes a difference). Wait until next year, and we can start from scratch.

Here's something that jumped out at me reading on Redskins.com about Golston and Monty being tendered:

"Last season, Golston started 12 of 13 games and logged 44 tackles and a half-sack." Haynesworth played in 14 games and had 41 tackles and 8.5 sacks.....I'm not sayin', I'm just sayin'

I know Golston isn't as good as Haynesworth, and I completely understand that Haynesworth eats up double teams (when motiviated), but I thought it was interesting to see the comparable production.

We're not in rebuilding, we're in a building mode. A few more pieces and we're there.
