Washington is a schizo organization. Give the guy a huge contract just after pulling him from a crucial moment in a game because he is out of shape/he doesn't know the two-minute offense/Grossman gave the team a better chance to win/etc.

They now have about $180 million invested in Haynesworth and McNabb.

Fucking brilliant.

Any time you can lock up a guy who has a 76 QB rating with more INTs than TDs you have to do it.

He's actually 33. Playing like he's 39 though.

Which means that when his contract's up, he'll be 38 and playing like he's a 55-year-old invalid.

They were just talking about it on sportscenter and apparently theres a way that the Redskins can get out of the "guaranteed" money owed to Mcnabb

wow. Seems like a boneheaded move to me, but he has provided them with a little stability at the position. He also is largely responsible for them being "okay" instead of "downright awful". But that doesn't mean you lock him up long term

Yeah, don't know why you pay a guy the coach has already lambasted this season 40 million guaranteed.

Dumb, absolutely stupid. If the Browns ever do this, I'll watch another sport.
