As SmootSmack stated earlier, PFT may not "filter" a lot of their rumors, but this issue of potential continued "use of painkillers" caught my eye...if true of course.

Well, his contract got adjusted here in Washington. He got what he wanted, the extra $1 million added to his salary. Seems like now he should be satisfied and would be willing to take any painkillers if need be.

I think that's a crappy rumor though, and just something to fuss over. I don't think this issue will have any impact on the Washington Redskins.

If the Pete Kendall experiment doesn't work out, it won't be because of the painkiller issue. It will be because he has to pick up a new blocking scheme, get used to new teammates, or because he actually gets injured.

For the record, I think the Pete Kendall experiment will work out just fine.
