I find it funny that so many people on this thread are on VJ's side just because they want him to be a Redskins. Typically, whenever there is a story such as this (player vs. team) 9 times out of 10 the fans side with the team (i.e. Revis, up to a certain degree Haynesworth, pretty much any player that holds out). I know that every holdout is different, I just always see fans siding with the team (i.e. the guy should just show up; the player needs to honors his contract; etc., etc.).

The situation here is different -- he has no contract to honor. He wants a long-term contract and they would only give him a 1 year deal, so he didn't sign it. Then, they basically insulted him by lowering the offer to 600K. He wants some commitment from his team and they won't give it up. AJ Smith is a dick, plain and simple. I can totally understand why VJax doesn't want to work for him.
