This doesn't sound like they are targeting ONE player like Haynesworth. What about two players - S Sean Jones & LB Jonathan Vilma?

While I certainly wouldn't complain about Haynesworth, I do have my doubts about what kind of effort you would get, as well as how many snaps. I read a rumor somewhere that the Redskins are supposedly interested and that Daniel Snyder and Haynesworth's agent were seen dining together during the combine. Just getting him out of our division would probably be good enough for me.

Two guys that I had ahead of Dunta Robinson in the 2004 draft may be available as FA. I just don't know how much $$$$ it would take to sign DT Tommie Harris or DE Will Smith.

Or Sean Jones and Channing Crowder

I was thinking Crowder too.

AS far as Haynesworth. I know how dominant he can be, but he's never played a full season and I saw a stat the other day that he only plays about 60% of the defensive stats. I like when teams rotate their lineman to keep them fresh, but I'm not sure I want to pay the highest salary of any defensive players when he's a guy who is hurt a lot and he is off the field for 40% of the plays anyway. I think he either stays in Tenn. or someone give him a ridiculous amount of money and I doubt that will be us.

And yet he was still in the converstation for MVP of the entire league... For a DT to even be mentioned in that conversation, let alone one who you say only plays 60% of the snaps, that's domination. I'll take him on my team.

I know. I would be pumped even though I don't like the guy. I just think it's a huge risk to give a guy like that so much money. The money he wants he will likely hinder our ability to hold onto some other guys in the future if we signed him.

As PB said, it will hinder the retention of our core guys. Would you sign Haynesworth, if the cap ramifications prevented us from resigning Ryans and Daniels, or Dunta and Ryans or Mario Williams down the road?

I wouldn't.

I don't think it's quite the doomsday scenario as you're making it out to be.

Zierlein Report is that the Redskins are going to offer a 100 mill a year at 15-16 Mill a year. That's elite QB money...higher than the franchise tag this year that Cassel is getting if I'm not mistaken. Definitely could be a cap issue, but it's hard to say what kind if any cap there will be over the life of this deal.
