And it tells me that the owner of the team i love cares more about making money than he does about winning. Why should we invest our time, money, and "heart" into something thats just using us for our money without trying to give us anything of value in return. we deserve more than that, dont we?

Ive been a redskins fan my entire life. My father raised me as a redskin fan, we stayed redskins fans, even when everyone else around us in NC switched and became panthers when that franchise started. i always thought when i had kids, id raise them as redskins fans too. I suppose i'm being overly dramatic, but if this rumor is true, and we do sign haynesworth to a contract that large, itll truly make me question whether this team under its current ownership deserves to have me as a fan.

I wouldn't call going after the best defensive player a disaster. Trading picks for TJ Duckett as an insurance, that's a disaster. Trading picks for an average Brandon Lloyd, that's a disaster. Making Adam Archuleta the highest paid safety for no reason, that's a disaster. I'm not saying that the possibility of getting Haynesworth is the best thing the team can do, but I don't think it is the worst.

I mean, we're calling this a failure, because we believe he's going to decline once he gets paid. Well, that's a chance the team is taking, a bad one, but it's one of many things that can happen. I can tell you what's a worst move than signing Haynesworth, trading picks to get Boldin. You're entitled to your opinion, however I disagree with you labeling this the worst move ever by the franchise.
