As soon as that quote of his came out dozens of football writers used it. So its a whole bunch of outlets coming off the same report. Also he would have said "my sources are telling me.." or "a source close to the redskins..." but he didn't hes just purely guessing.
Now the Cullen Jenkins thing has come from more than one report and has been linked to a source from the redskins and a source from Cullen's side.
See the difference here?
Would I want Nnamdi? Hell yes I would! Would I pay him the $17+ million he's asking for? Hell No, especially after the Haynesworth fiasco. He's going to Houston or Tampa when its all said and done. Not saying though that theres no chance we go after him or even get him..

The team needs to spend 48 cents of every dollar on players anyway, and...... I'm sure the 17+ mill would not be for 1 year, the team would probably spread the 17 over 4-6 yrs. Thats not even counting any what they give up front or bonuses each year which also would scrape off the top.
