King predicts Haynesworth to Redskins

[SmootSmack]

There probably are teams interested in Montgomery, I just haven't heard it. A 2nd round tender for each of them I believe is a 1 year, $1.5 million contract.

But suppose they do that, that doesn't mean we'd get a 2nd rounder in return. Case in point, the Niners placed a 1st round tender on Brandon Lloyd. Instead of trading a 1st, we traded a 3rd and 4th. So conceivably something similar could happen with us.

Good point that it could be negotiated down from a #2. Assuming they signed AH I would let one of them go for maybe a #3 pick but no less then that. It also wouldn't be a bad way to go to just bring them both back anyway and have some nice depth on the interior DL for a change.

Thanks for the info, i thought the price would be higher. Both guys are well worth 1.5M contracts for one year (1/82nd of our total cap room). However, if we had internally decided to let one of them walk at some point, id rather get some compensation for either of them now than let them walk a year later for nothing. Especially if the haynesworth rumor is true. I think the reason neither Monty or Golston has become a star yet is because alot of the time theyve been playing next to eachother. Both of them would benefit tremendously if they were playing alongside haynesworth. Then again, so would Griff and Lorenzo. If we did bring in Haynesworth, i could see us trading both those guys and hopefully using the picks do address our oline.

Trading both is risky...Griff is getting old to be a full season starter and we also need to remember that AH never plays a full season so depth behind him will be important. I would trade whichever one I could get more for and keep the other. I would prefer to keep Monty I guess if I had a choice..

It would definitely be risky, but i have a soft spot for Lorenzo Alexander. I guess it depends on what the compensation would be but if i thought we could get 2nd rounder for both of them, it might be too good of an offer to pass up. we found both of them in the later rounds so i'm pretty sure we could find something like them in the 2009 draft. i would be pretty happy about our DT situation with Haynesworth, Griffin, Alexander and a mid round draft pick. However, Haynesworth, Griffin, Alexander, and Monty or Golston would be utter pimpage.

Excellent point BHA. Unlike Rogers and Hall, Monty and Golston have never benefited from each others presence. Golston has just sort of forced Monty out of position, and his production looks more uneven than the film on him suggests it would.

Unfortunately, Haynesworth doesn't fix this problem, he just makes it worse. Haynesworth DOES fit perfectly in scheme with Griffin, though.
