Haynesworth, God-awfully rich, not a Redskin for but two weeks and this... From "The REAL Feed":

I feel that the Skins will get Cutler and Shanny or Cowher will be the head coach here next year unless Jim Zorn takes them to the playoffs, even if that happens, I would not be surprised to see Shanny or Cowher here. There are reliable sources that have said that Cowher has already talked to Snider when he is ready to get back in the NFL that he would talk to him first. Shanny and the GM here in Washington are said to be good friends, whatever that means.

We all know that Danny Boy will always look for Stars, and there are confirmed reports that the Skins are shopping Jason Campbell for a 2nd round pick.

I think that this will happen. They all have about a 10 day window to get this done to get ready for the draft.
Danny boy will overpay for Cutler, who I think is worth it. If/when this happens the Skins will soon be talked about as a playoff team...

All I can say is WOW!!! Snyder finally did NOT give up the farm for a player. Maybe he is learning after all.

Campbell hangin' in there according to this LOCAL report rolling [smiley=rollin.gif] off "The REAL Feed":

Campbell Staves Off Skeptics -- For Now (http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2009/08/29/AR2009082902214.html)

The Redskins' Jason Campbell understands that criticism comes along with being an NFL quarterback, even if you play well, but for now at least, he's staved off his doubters.
