I love the Snyder/Michael Scott references.

After researching this I don’t believe this is what Daniel Snyder and Chad Speck were talking over a meal. http://www.bengals.com/news/news.asp?story_id=7509
Last week “INDIANAPOLIS – The Bengals have expressed an interest in free agent wide receiver Kelley Washington but haven’t quantified it yet to agent Chad Speck.”
Is it possible they were talking about this?

Daniel Snyder has plenty $ to spend how ever he sees fit. It’s his money to spend. Any team owner that wants can do this.

Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA), 2009 is the last year of the cap. That is, the CBA will expire at the end of the 2010 season, and the final year of the agreement is uncapped.
Other sports can do this.

Sweet Raptor Jesus, you cannot be serious with this shit. I think this finally confirms it that Dan Synder is in fact the real life Michael Scott. What a horrible move.

2010 is an uncapped year. With that being said I am sure its a backloaded contract.

With an uncapped year, Dan Snyder is able to use his own money to sign Free Agents.

Haynesworth is the best player on the market and we landed him. He will instantly improve the D Line. He will command double teams and even triple teams, allowing JT and AC to get pressure.

How can any real Redskins fan not like this move?

Carter, Randel El and Samuels(today) have all restructured.

Sign Hall next, and some OL and LB’s and were a contender.

So let me get this straight –

- Keep Taylor and his $8M salary.
- Let Evans walk even though we could re-sign him for a faction of the cost of Taylor
- Sign Haynesworth who is 28, 330+ lbs, never plays more than about 12 games a year, has been suspended by the league before, to a monster contract.
- This is Ryan Clark, Hot Plate Williams, Arch Deluxe, Juwan Howard, Roger Mason signing/not signings all rolled into one.

Please wake me when the misery is over.
