Also, Eagles have placed the franchise tag on DeSean Jackson

From that article:

9. Albert Haynesworth

(US PRESSWIRE) Breakdown: Haynesworth makes the list on reputation alone. And we mean his pre-Redskins reputation, when Jim Washburn got the most out of the man now known as one of the biggest free-agent busts in recent years. Not even Bill Belichick could revive Haynesworth's career, cutting him midway through last season.

The Bucs signed him only to release him a few weeks ago. Maybe his career is over, but then again, coaches and GMs are seduced by potential. And Haynesworth certainly has plenty of that.

Possible landing spots: Realistically, Haynesworth's probably done. That said, we wouldn't be shocked if the Redskins signed him to another $100 million deal.


Really? Well the media ever give up on the BS, do they not see a new sheriff in town?

The media will stop associating us with big name free agents when Dan Snyder no longer owns the Redskins, and we have a decade of cheap frugality under a new owner. Only then will it become tired to associate us with big name free agents. But it will still be mentioned in history, as we have become the team most commonly associated with trying to build through free agency.

The media is just lazy and recycle sh*t over and over again.

Yeah, just look at Smoot, he just keeps starting QB threads over and over, then grabs this link from someone else (good job CB) and starts another thread of someone else's info. Never an original idea there!

Relax,it will take some time to change what DS and VC did to the Redskins over the last 2 decades,simple winning will stop all of it.

mmm I love the smell of new thread

Here is the link for the DJax story...

Philadelphia Eagles use franchise tag on DeSean Jackson - ESPN

I wonder if teams are going to let this DJax situation play out instead of trading for him. They could just wait and see if the Eagles are truly going to pay him $9 mil for one year.

Oh and the Browns won't be tagging Hillis...

Cleveland Browns won't use tag on RB Peyton Hillis, source says - ESPN

[Alvin Walton]

I'm glad DeSean is franched.
He aint all that.
Stay away Mr. Allen!

[skinsfaninok]

I'd love to have Wallace or Garcon/Wayne.. I think VJAX will cost too much

[DC Tailgate]

So Redskins on Manning, Browns on Flynn and whoever loses on that, goes for Griffin (unless they both do). But of course the Rams want to get a trade done before FA so they can get the most. Otherwise it's a losing situation for them. Obviously.

Don't tease me too much, but when does FA officially start?
