King predicts Haynesworth to Redskins

[vallin21]

I am 99.9% sure Haynesworth will be our starting DT in '09I don't think any other team will give out the type of money he's asking for.

Not so fast. John Clayton reported earlier today that every team will be in the mix for this guy. There are obviously going to be teams that are more serious about landing him- the Lions, Bucs, and Skins are front runners at this point. The only concern about him would be minor injuries.

I saw the same thing. This is definitely not a "Done Deal".

Here's the link to the guy in Houston who sounds fairly certain that Haynesworth is a done deal.

Apparently his source here is the same one who provided him with advanced knowledge of Scott Pioli going to K.C.

He writes for the Houston Chronicle -- guess that means he's not just a 'tard with a blog.

I hope he's way wrong, 15/16mil a year. That's ****ing stupid!!

Generally speaking, I don't like the idea either -- let's find our own Albert Haynesworth who's hungry and eager to prove himself, then let someone else shell out a hundred million for him five years down the road when we've gotten the best out of his playing days.

Then again ... there might be small shred of hope with this deal. If we have a #4 ranked defense with absolutely zero pressure on the quarterback, and we can keep our secondary intact, then theoretically Haynesworth could take our D to a level that we haven't seen in years. And you can basically forget about any linebacker problem. A guy like this paired with young, fresh upstarts like Montegomery and Golston make average linebackers look a whole lot better. That's the thing about a great D-line -- it can turn ho-hum linebackers into Pro Bowlers.

The one thing you shudder to think about though, is another Dana Stubblefield-type situation.

Two words for you....... "AL DAVIS". You can rest assured if the Raiders were interested in Haynesworth, they would pay that type money.
