We have to credit Psyops and a few others; he says it in a few words; As long as Snyder owns the team, this is how it will be. Period.
Hanesworth going to the Redskins?

ProFootballTalk.com - REPORT: HAYNESWORTH TO THE ‘SKINS
Please say it aint so. I just read another story that denies it but, Snyder has been known to do some bonehead deals. Remember the Deion Sanders deal?
The initial reports I heard were last week in Indy at the combine when Snyder and Haynesworths agent were spotted having dinner together. At the time they also included in their comments about how this agent also has some players on the Redskins he represented. So they could have been discussing them. Since then it's assumed that they were only talking about Haynesworth. Which actually would be against league rules until after midnight tonight.

HAYNESWORTH WANTS TO PROVE THE “NAYSAYERS” WRONG
Posted by Mike Florio on February 25, 2009, 10:06 p.m. EST
Whether defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth continues his career with the Titans or the Redskins or some other team, the franchise that gives Haynesworth a nine-figure contract will want to get the most of out him.
The fact that so many people (yours truly included) believe that Haynesworth will grow fat and complacent and ineffective and fat after getting paid could end up being significant motivation for Haynesworth.
“The money is great, but getting the naysayers off my back is better,” Haynesworth recently told WUSA-TV. “The team I’m gonna pick, that gives me the money I get, I want to prove I’m worth every penny to teammates, to coaches, fans and the naysayers.”
Albert, the naysayers are only saying nay because of how you played in the non-contract years of your career. And then there was the whole “stomping on Andre Gurode’s helmetless head” thing. And the recent episodes of virtual reality/reality high-speed automobile driving reality simulation don’t do much to alleviate our concerns.
But the signs are still present that Haynesworth could be living in a location where WUSA will be on his regular rotation of channels.
Indeed, Sara Walsh of WUSA observes that much of her one-hour interview with Haynesworth involved the player asking the reporter questions about life in D.C. and “what the Redskins are like.”
And why was Haynesworth being interviewed by a television station in the D.C. area? At a time when Haynesworth’s agent, Chad Speck, has tried to dispel rumors that Haynesworth will sign with the ‘Skins, allowing Haynesworth to be interviewed by a media outlet in the team’s home market walks, talks, and quacks like an effort to get the local fans acquainted with the franchise’s soon-to-be-newest player.
I still hope it's not true. Oh well, live and learn. I think it will be a big mistake.

But what do you think of the idea? The 'plans' seem to be;
A; Haynesworth and just a get a loan from Obama to cover it
or
B; Canty, resign Doc, keep Hall, cut springs, pick the D line kid from Texas.
Oh, great otter-ocle, what say you?

I can't say, cuz it's fruitless with Snyder and Vinny.
I have to amuse myself by remembering when we had the perfect owner(Cooke), GM(Beatherd) and coach(Gibbs)..the perfect storm. The Skins were so more fun even in the years of Norm Snead, Dickie James and Joe Rut-fats Rutgens..I've held out hope since Snyder bought them, but its just his toy now. He is hell bent on doing things his way, just like Jerry Jones, and we see how thats worked out.

I'd rather see Hall. We had a top ranked defense. We need to address the offensive line. I still can't believe they kept Suisham. I hope they bring in someone to compete against him for that position.

Looks like no Haynesworth.
CANTY TO BE THE FIRST TO VISIT THE ‘SKINS?
Posted by Mike Florio on February 26, 2009, 10:17 p.m. EST
At a time when many are assuming that Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth or Ravens center Jason <NOBR id=itxt_nobr_0_0 style="FONT-WEIGHT: normal; FONT-SIZE: 100%">Brown</NOBR> will be the first free agents to visit Redskins Park when the doors fly open at 12:01 a.m. EST, we’re hearing indications that the first visitor will actually be Cowboys defensive end Chris Canty.
Canty has been a defensive end in the 3-4 attack that the Cowboys employ.
The Washington Post reported on Thursday that the ‘Skins are interested, explaining that he would play defensive end on first and second downs, and move inside in obvious passing situations.
Canty recently has expressed an interest in playing for the Dolphins, given that Miami V.P. of football operations Bill Parcells drafted Canty out of Virginia when Parcells was the coach in Dallas.

What the hell. Get Canty, too! And Doc and Sleepy and Happy and...

Yeah right. Unless they're seriously counting on the uncapped 2010 year it won't happen.
You better be thinking of who you can cut now.
Like the acquisition but I really loathe the amount of money we're shelling out.
Defense isn't even our weak point. Sure our D-line is weak but we've survived just fine on D with a weak D-line. How many more wins will Haynesworth give the Skins every year? One maybe? The weak part of the team is the offense.
Maybe I'm wrong though. I hope so.

40 mil gar. to Haynesworth, not a bad sign at all. We re-signed Hall, Canty is still on the visit block, and Dockery will probably be back as a Skin..
I have a feeling this could be a big splash year for us, for once, signing nothing but worth while talent. and NO, I'm not saying we are going to the SB
Just saying for normally over pay for guys on the down slide, for once, we have so far signed guys that still have some up swing to them 
And if we get Canty and Dock... I would be happy with our FO for this FA year

I just can't see them signing all these guys. Skins always seem to surprise me with their salary cap management though.
