    Newsflash: every moderate to big name free agent is overpaid.

    That's why it's smarter to build through the draft.

    It's not the overpay that bothers me it's the sorriness of the player. I mean how bad can you be to be Anthony Weaver or Jaque Reeves, Ahman Green has an excuse cause of injuries but DAMN not 1 season healthy? :confused:

    Come on now! This isn't even my team, but of course I'd love to have all the Houston franchises be winners. Who wouldn't be proud of that.

    No homo, I do love AJ boi is a beast! Thanks for all those fantasy points son.

    First sentence is correct.

    Second sentence is incorrect.

    T. Johnson and A. Okoye combined for 2 sacks last year.

    I understand that DTs arent supposed to be the ones registering sacks, but it would be nice to get a little bit more pressure with out starters. We are incredibly average at that position. Im hopeful that Okoye continues to develop, but it is pretty clear that we have seen the best of Johnson. We could use an upgrade there. Replacing him with Haynesworth would immediately alter our defense. Unfortunately though, we wont sign him.

    Albert Haynesworth will be a Washington Redskin
    Remember back on December 23rd when I told you guys that Scott Pioli would be the GM for the Kansas City Chiefs before anyone had it? I got it from a very well-connected league source. That source is talking (actually texting) again.

    This time around he tells me that the Washington Redskins will break the bank to sign Albert Haynesworth. The Titans could come over the top of the Redskins deal as well, but my guess is that the Redskins will let Haynesworth get the best offer possible from the Titans and then "better deal" it.

    My source tells me to look for a contract that could break $100 million with an average of $15 million to $16 million per. My guy is almost never wrong and Dan Snyder gets what he wants. As a Texan fan, I would really be devastated to see Haynesworth leave the division ... only, no I wouldn't. Beat it, Haynesworth.

    The Texans will sign Haynesworth right after the Astros sign a big name pitcher.

    Sweet, finally we can rush the passer. I'll take a shot for every sack he get's on Romo.

    Wow. Haynesworth is one rich mofo now.

    Let's go get us a veteran QB and a reasonably priced DL/DE...

    Wow, thats some ridiculous money getting thrown his way...

    32 million over the first 13 months of the contract! :eek:

    Well, as much as I would have liked him, Im glad we arent spending near that much money on a player...additionally, we dont have to worry about facing him next year. And finally, the Titans lose a key member of their defense.

    Im happy.

    If the Redskins are smart they should model themselves after the Steelers. In fact, Syder should fire Zorn and throw the bank at Cowher. Instant Superbowl appearance.
