I'm glad that he has a job. I don't buy the take-a-year-off thing, though. He'll be a year older without having played for a year - who will want him on the gridiron? He's done.

I'm not one to lead a Plax campaign, but people were saying the same things about a certain QB a little while back.

I was talking about Pennington's plan to take a year off, not Plax.

I find it hard to believe that Redskins would want to go after Plax

I don't think the Skins want him he said we are #2 on his list, based on the fact his agent thinks that will raise up his contract $$$$, alots changed since he went into JAIL there's a new SHERIFF in town and we nolonger out bid ourselves.

This article title misconstrues what Cooley says so bad. Cooley says, and I quote, "If you were going to take a risk on a guy that's a good player, he's probably the guy you're going to take a risk on."

He follows that up by saying, "He'll probably step in a locker room, keep his mouth shut, work hard and try to earn his way back into the league the first season,"

Cooley does not say he thinks the Redskins are going after him. He only states that someone would most likely take a shot with him over someone like T.O. or Ochocinco. Terrible title for this article.

I dont know what the hell to think about this season

1. Washington Redskins: Owner Dan Snyder gave defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth and cornerback DeAngelo Hall around $36 million in bonus money in 2010 to free up room to be a big spender in free agency in 2011. Snyder and Mike Shanahan will have to be creative in how they structure contracts, because the $120 million cap would give them only around $10 million of cap room. On the positive side, the Redskins' current payroll is $75.7 million, meaning Snyder would have to spend close to $45 million in cash to meet the potential minimum floor requirements. Imagine a system that forces Snyder to spend.

Hello Jenkins, Franklin, and Joesph.

Well the last tackling machine we signed from Buffalo worked out so might as well give it another shot.

Posluszny sticking in Buffalo?

For teams in need of inside linebacker help, Paul Posluszny is an intriguing possibility, as the impending free agent has experience in both the 3-4 and 4-3 alignments. Thus far this offseason, he's been linked most strongly to the Jacksonville Jaguars and Washington Redskins, though there are a number of other teams in the market for the help he can provide.

In the end, however, all of this speculation may be moot, as Pro Football Weekly has reported that the Buffalo Bills will make re-signing Posluszny a priority.

Furthermore, the site notes, a daily team observer has indicated that the blue-collar sensibilities of the city are a good match for Posluszny, and this may play a role in his sticking around.
