Morneblade Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 On the plus side, he's still pretty young (27) and one of the best, if not the best DT's playing right now. He brings a serious mean streak with him and is one of the few DT's I've seen in some time that can totally change the game. He is very tought to move out, but has the burst to get penatration and get to the QB. He's also a Vol alum. On the negative side, is his asking price. He wants to be paid like the best DT in the league and just turned down 40 million for 4 years, but less than half was guarenteed and that seemed to be the sticking point. Should we take a serious look at him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
F Landry Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 Take a look at him? Is he even a Free Agent? Or is he a RFA? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfitzo53 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I would take a look at him but I can't see because he stepped on my face. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
COOLhandsCOOLEY Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I wouldn't be the least bit opposed to the idea, but don't think we have anywhere near the cap room to bring him in. He'd bring some new fire to the dalass rivalry too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morneblade Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 He's listed as a UFA. http://www.theredzone.org/2008/freeagents/showposition.asp?Position=DT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ucfSKINS Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I thought they franchised him this year? Guess I'm wrong. But we all know he hates the pukes, so I'm in . Seriously though, no cap room, so it won't happen. Plus we need depth at CB and LB, not particulary DT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Morneblade Posted July 18, 2008 Author Share Posted July 18, 2008 Doesn't he have the franchise tag for the Titans? I think you're right about that. But he they were unable to come to a deal and they missed the deadline on a contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

StillUnknown Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 if we had the cap room, i'd definitely look into it. that guy is a dominant force, plain and simple Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BG Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 He is franchised and the Titans will not let him go without a first rounder and more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seriously though, no cap room, so it won't happen. Plus we need depth at CB and LB, not particulary DT. We need a starter at DE as well, but Albert should be dominant and increase how effective both our secondary and linebackers would be. He could make us the best defense in the NFL. Cap room would be a problem, but after seeing 50 "Farve Threads" (who is going to make MORE this year and Hanyesworth) over the last week, why not?

cmorina69 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 We should find a way to get it done, hes a great player him and monty would be great. But we also have NEEDS at cb and lb, so i dont see it happening. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2006Skins Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 But do you think he would be worth it? With the need of depth and youth in a lot of key areas, it would be very tough to justify trading more than a 1st rounder for him. I definitely wouldn't be opposed to trade a 1st rounder and Montgomery or something like that... But it's hard to trade multiple picks, especially when one of them is a 1st rounder.

Have you watched any of the games Montgomery has played in? If we can bring in Haynesworth I'm all for it. But Monty stays a Redskin or it's all for nought. He is that good!

BigRedskinDaddy Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 I don't think he's worth what it would cost us to get him. C. Griff is old, but he's still got some gas in the tank, and Anthony Montgomery is developing into every bit the stud that AH is. D-line is not one of the concerns or problem areas that we need to address through FA right now IMO. EDIT: Pedro, didn't see your post when I dropped mine in. I could not agree more, brother. AM is a force, pure and simple. He's younger, as big and probably quicker than Haynesworth, so we can't let him get away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Absolutely not, due to the above point. The guy for the most part was lack luster and just decent up until the past year. Big surprise, going into a contract year he explodes and performs amazingly and was said to be in the best shape he's been in while playing in the NFL. Of course he wants guarenteed money. Becuase then his motivation can go back to crap. He'd be a waste of a hiring that we'd be lamenting by end of the year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DieselPwr44 Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 He had his best season career-wise last year but it was also the last year in his contract. We've been down this road before: Dana Stubblefield. No thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pedro Posted July 18, 2008 Share Posted July 18, 2008 But to the OP I say yes. We should look at it and look hard. Montgomery and Haynesworth in the middle would be the best DT tandem in the NFL. I would expect Carter to get 15 sacks with this duo starting at DT. Fletcher plays behind them and our outside LBers start outside and stay there, including eyes. Haynesworth is the player/position that can spark the rest of the team. Saying that as a draft lines first person I'm quite happy with what we have on both lines right now, but I don't expect us to win right now either...

But Monty is nowhere near the stud that Haynseworth is. I’m saying that to make a deal work, we would have to trade at least a first rounder and a young prospect like Monty or Gholston. I wouldn’t exactly be opposed to making it happen, but I don’t think it will. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monty is about the same size (6'5, 315), but not nearly as quick as Haynesworth (6'6, 320). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
