The Case For...

I would rather give a proven stud tackle in his prime a shit ton of cash than take a gamble on some kid from college. Also, why break tradition? We're a team that spends high dollar amounts on free agents and if we're gonna continue the trend, then this should be the guy to do it with.

It's a tradition I'd wish they'd get away from. If it is an uncapped year in 2010 I can see the logic. If it's not we'll have to eat a big s**t sandwich in cap space. Personally, I'd like to start developing our own Haynesworths, Dansbys, and Jacobs.

Exactly, and who knows how Haynesworth will play once he gets his fat contract? That's the kind of thing Snyder use to do and got us into this mess to begin with.

This team does not draft well. We've tried to "develop" guys like Golston and Montgomery and where has that gotten us?

Also, this team is not young and DOES NOT have time to develop a bunch of mid to later round picks. We need to win now or let the rebuilding begin in 2010. Theres not another single player that could improve a team like Haynesworth could.

Judging by the reaction from others on this site it's unequivocally clear that posters here watch far more college than they do the pros. I guess watching boys in school play sloppy football is more entertaining.

I can also guarantee that Haynesworth is not Bruce Smith, Deon Sanders or Adam Archuletta. I can understand why fans are apprehensive when it comes to free agent acquisitions, but it doesn't mean you just shy away from FA's all together. Drafting well is important, but so is spending top dollar to add elite players that could augment your entire team.

Everyone here knows what Haynesworth can do. Its not just about $$$ its about giving up draft picks. Haynesworth will have a tag no doubt.

I hear what your saying, but Mr. Smack did not ask "Whats the most prudent, logical, fiscally responsible move you would make in the offseason."

I made my pick and I'm sticking to it.

We draft so-so I woud say: Laron Landry, Chris Horton, Carlos Rogers, Chris Cooley, Ladell Betts, Rock Cartwright, John Jansen, Jason Campbell, not to mention undrafted guys like Mike Sellers. It isn't we don't draft well. We don't draft enough.

Good point Tramp. and may I add we risk trading guys like Carlos Rogers and then spend the next 3 years looking for the next Carlos Rogers

And there lies the problem. I think we should pass the meds around 44. I'm pretty sure I should be on some. Are you near The Big Red Star REDSKIN1?

You can't always develop that guy, you can try, but so does every other one of the 31 teams that doesn't have the guy. Sometimes there's just THE guy.
