hahaha my brother just told me a min ago, exact quote: "how else do you see those 12:05 deals? BFD." . . .

yeah i know its not a big issue, everybody does it but you dont see too many articles like the king one about other owners. i think it gives danny a bad rep at the owners meetings having something like this come out so openly (even though king assumes danny was talking about AH).

sorry, i thought it was worth discussing given all the dead horses lying around here.

go skins!!

Well everyone does it and someone has to "prove" or have evidence that would show tampering. No one knows what they were talking about. Which is why I brought up the fact that perhaps Snyder met with him about a player who will be in the draft and the team is inquiring about how he would feel about coming to the Skins. I think it's presumptious to on Kings part to assume it was about Haynesworth. I doubt any team would have a problem with Snyder talking to an agent asking what money figure Haynesworth is looking forward to in order to see if we could be in the ball park come day 1 of free agency. It's illegal to talk contract and fine details. Haynesworth already said he would test the market so I'm betting a lot of other owner's have made inquiries also just to see what he's asking. Doesn't mean we are going to be a player at all.

but....as we all know King is pushing the envelope always to try to fry Snyder. .....and if history repeats itself we all know Snyder will probably try to find a way to get him in. My big question is how will Snyder accomplish this? Who will get let go in order to sign Haynesworth? If we try. Someone mentioned we are 3.3 mill under. We could cut Springs saviing us 6.4 mill. Honestly is that enough for Haynesworth? Call it 6 mill a year? Who else do we let go to sign Hall?

Zorn was and has stated he was satisfied with our O-lines production through the first 8 games and believes our down fall was injuries. He has said we need decent back ups. Perhaps with the moves they have made already picking up some O-lineman and perhaps drafting more he feels we will be fine starting next season with a healthy group of guys. I agree we need to get younger on both sides, I'm just throwing out there the possibility Snyder is looking to fix any D-line problems with free agents and go after O-lineman in the draft.

Someone made a good post earlier in which they said Snyder was doing the agent a favor by mtg. w/him. Drives AH's price up.

This may be rumor derived from that mtg. Reminds me of when Samari Rolle's agent said the skins were going to sign him in 05 w/15 mil guaranteed. Didn't happen.

I actually remember that. Its a possibility. Again profootballtalk is not the most reliable source. They might just be putting pressure on the Titans.

Does this mean no D. Hall? What about Canty? Since we're turning into fantasy football, how 'bout this front seven:

D-Line: Carter, Haynesworth, Monty/Golston, Canty
LBs: J.Taylor, Fletch, Rocky

Sounds pretty good to me.

I would sure hope this is BS. Haynesworth would be a disaster. An injured disaster.

So let me get this straight.... The skins are going to sign Haynesworth to a deal where he would make more than what Payton Manning per year? If reports are true, almost 1/7th of the teams entire salary will be devoted to a guy approaching 30 years old, who hasn’t started a full seaason in his 7 year career, who was spotted driving his car over 100mph two day after going on probation for reckless driving, and whose performance is expected to drop dramatically once he signs a big contract. He was nothing special his first 5 years in the league.... even now, he only averages one sack every 2 games.

If this report is true, it will seriously test my loyalty as a fan.
