The Washington Post was skeptical at first too. The 'Skins don't currently have the cap space to offer a monster contract, so they would have to do some serious tinkering to pull it off.

Uh, what would you expect the Tenn. media to say or think. Haynesworth has been given an offer and he snubbed it. The team came back with another offer after they learned of the Skins dinner and he has said he will see what FA has for him. The fans and media are probably getting all miffed cause he snubbed them twice so now they are going to blame the Skins for driving up the market on Haynesworth. Certainly the Skins don't care to talk money and possibly take him out from under them even though everyone knows we despiratly need to upgrade our DT possition.

Yea, we are a tool. Every year we hear how the Skins are looking at so and so. Except the difference this year is we actually did have a dinner meeting with the agent and Snyder is truly interested in a DT to upgrade our defensive line.

I guess if AH truly wanted to stay with a winning team and he would have probably taken the second deal that was worth more. ......or maybe AH is looking to get out of dodge for the NFC beast.
