Free Agent Suspense is Building

The suspense of which free agents the Redskins will sign is rising fast. The latest rumor is that Dan Snyder was caught having dinner with Albert Haynesworth's agent and one NFL network analyst says the most likely landing spot for Haynesworth is Washington.

While we would all love to have Haynesworth on our team and our team is in dire need of a big time DT, Dan Snyder has to limit the compensation he would give him. He is looking for $16 million per year. The old Snyder would sign him to an obscene contract and gloat about the top free agent he signed while ignoring all of the team's other holes. Let's hope he has learned by now. Plus, it is well publicized that Haynesworth plays only 65% of downs. That is an awful lot of cap room to take up for a less than full-time player.

If the Redskins can get him for a reasonable figure closer to $12-$13 million per year, I say sign him. Otherwise, use that money to add several value free agents.

For example, the team really needs to resign DeAngelo Hall to sure up the constantly injured CB's on the roster.

Latest Headlines:

Derrick Dockery - The popular monster Guard that broke in to the NFL with the Redskins was just released by the Bills. How about a reunion? The Redskins would fill a big need by bringing back Dockery and he is still in his prime at 28 years old. Of course, the price still has too be right. Derrick got a huge 7 year, $49 million contract from the Bills when he left the Redskins. He would definitely have to lower his standards for the Redskins to bring him back.

Jeff Saturday - It looks as if he really wants to play for the Steelers. If that doesn't work out, he would be a great addition to the offensive line. He normally plays Center, but has stated he is also willing to play Guard.

Other hot names the Redskins should, but have not yet gotten involved with:

Bart Scott - LB, Baltimore
Jason Brown - C, Baltimore
