If he doesn't show up and retires then it really depends on what was agreed to between the Redskins and Cardinals. Like right now I think it's a conditional 6th that could become a 5th. But maybe there's language in the deal that says if Vonnie retires then it becomes a guaranteed 5th

Re: Arizona RB Tim Hightower traded to Redskins.
i lost a lot of respect when he came out with the bamboozled and hoodwinked crack during the lockout.really did'nt think he needed to broadcast that to the whole world.

Re: Arizona RB Tim Hightower traded to Redskins.
I have been raving about Hightower since he was in college. This is my favorite move of the offseason so far. Not only do we have a darkhorse starter/stud, young RB, but we also have something for Torrain that he has not had since coming here: competition. I see a RB by comitee in our future!

"Grant Paulsen
Shanahan on Holliday for Hightower deal: "As far as I know the deal is already done." Said TH's blocking stood out. #Redskins" Good to know.

We added linebacker Eric McBride, a former Spider, today too. Not sure about Shawn Barber. I was real big on Hightower coming out of school and he looked great his rookie year, but seemed to fall off substantially the last 2 years. Well see how he does, im routing for him.

Yeah nevermind.... im way off. I remembering hearig about a little bit of a fumble problem though. 5 seems kind of high for 150 carries, 1 in 30 he fumbles. Anyone knows the average carries per fumble?

Re: Arizona RB Tim Hightower traded to Redskins.
Judging by the fact that he averages less than ten carries a game in his career, it's safe to say that he can only function as a part of a committee. He better be the finest 3rd down back ever.

Re: Arizona RB Tim Hightower traded to Redskins.
Keep in mind, Arizona has had one of the worst running games in the league for a few years. Hightower was not the only RB having trouble producing in that system...look at Wells' numbers too.
They'd run maybe 15-20 times a game as a team when Warner was still there...last year was just ugly all around for them. Hightower only had more than 15 rushes ONCE last two seasons, and went for 148 yards that game (vs. Denver). But, when Hightower did get the ball in space...look out. He's a TD machine too. Look at his limited touches and his TD totals: 2010 - 153 rushes, 5 TDs 2009 - 143 rushes, 8 TDs 2008 - 143 rushes, 10 TDs We needed some red zone help!
