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.
Of course this is just based on some dude with a blog in Houston. Also, how long have you been a fan? I mean after all the disasters the team has had, I think all of our loyalties have been tested time after time.

this would top all the disasters of the past though. I guess for me, ive always deluded myself with the idea that things would get better, that Snyder has learned something... this tells me the owner of the team i love only cares about one thing - selling jerseys. And it tells me that the owner of the team i love cares more about making money than he does about winning. Why should we invest our time, money, and "heart" into something thats just using us for our money without trying to give us anything of value in return. we deserve more than that, dont we?

Ive been a redskins fan my entire life. My father raised me as a redskin fan, we stayed redskins fans, even when everyone else around us in NC switched and became panthers when that franchise started. i always thought when i had kids, id raise them as redskins fans too. maybe, im responding more with my emotions than with my head to this... but isnt being a fan about emotions in the first place?

if this rumor is true, and we do sign haynesworth to a contract that large (at the expense of addressing other positions on this team), itll truly make me question whether this team under its current ownership deserves to have me as a fan.

I wouldn't call going after the best defensive player a disaster. Trading picks for TJ Duckett as an insurance, that's a disaster. Trading picks for an average Brandon Lloyd, that's a disaster. Making Adam Archuleta the highest paid safety for no reason, that's a disaster. I'm not saying that the possibility of getting Haynesworth is the best thing the team can do, but I don't think it is the worst.

I mean, we're calling this a failure, because we believe he's going to decline once he gets paid. Well, that's a chance the team is taking, a bad one, but it's one of many things that can happen. I can tell you what's a worst move than signing Haynesworth, trading picks to get Boldin. You're entitled to your opinion, however I disagree with you labeling this the worst move ever by the franchise.
