addicted Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm posting this in case anyone was still hoping that we could bring Canty in. It's out of our plans now. http://voices.washingtonpost.com/redskinsinsider/2009/02/skins_land_haynesworth.html#more Latest Update from JLC: Dallas free agent defensive end Chris Canty, who had agreed at around 2 a.m. to visit Redskins Park, will not be coming here, and has other visits scheduled. He does not appear to be in Washington's plans now. I'm happier having the NFL's Defensive Player of the year here then having Canty but it woulda been nice to get them both (Cool new smileys! ) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGoodBits Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Well it's coming from JLC, so apparently we're on the verge of signing Canty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Santana_Fan Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm glad. I think he's alright, but not really something to get excited about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benskins26 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I think that's just JLC bs speculation based on common sense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
benskins26 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I'm glad. I think he's alright, but not really something to get excited about. Definitely not worth the 50 million or so that he's asking for. You know, it's sad. I'm a Redskins fan first and foremost, and I hate the Yankees with every once of me, but we are already having an offseason to rival what the Yankees just did. Snyder is the Steinbrenner of the NFL. I hate that it's true. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hate that it's true. I agree the skins are like the Yankees of football, but it still isn't Yankee bad because the rules of football are significantly better. The three big Yankee signing made more per season then the team salaries of like 6 teams. That and we don't win.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IbleedBnG83 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 There would be no point to sign Canty at this point... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Skinz4Life12 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 i would rather get a beast O-Lineman Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr. S Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I wouldn't mind getting him, but I think it's smart. His value is slightly inflated I think. There are some other decent DE's who could probably have the same production and would be cheaper. I hope we instead bring Dockery back. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rdskn4Lyf21 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I think it was Haynesworth or Canty. I'm good doing without an ex-Cowboy. Let's get the O-Linemen now! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darc Requiem Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 Because of his size, Canty would be good at LDE on opposite of Carter/Taylor at RDE. I'm always wary of signing Cowboys though. Plus Canty is asking for more than he's worth IMO. I wouldn't mind the Canty signing, he's still on the right side of 30 and he did go to UVA, but I really want the FO to address the O-line. If we can solidify the O-line, I think our offensive would improve greatly and the defense wouldn't have to carry the team in practically every game.

pissondallas Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I cant understand how anyone here would want that guy on our team. I cant stand any ex cowboy here (our stupid kicker also). Much happier we signed the guy who head stomps cowboys! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ChiefPowhatan17 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 I heard on the radio that Canty was still visiting today. Maybe we don't sign him, but I bet he still visits. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkinsMaster88 Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 At the risk of sounding like a homer based on who the Redskins would get/not get, I'm glad that we aren't getting Canty. I liked the idea of a big DE complementing Carter (or Taylor). However, I was concerned that Canty wouldn't fit due to his lack of experience in a 4-3 scheme. Also, he didn't have much production in Dallas to justify a big contract. Now, I know 3-4 ends occupy blockers more than get in the backfield, but still. He got around 30-40 tackles and 2-3 sacks a season. We can get better production out of just bringing back Daniels for vet min. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The three big Yankee signing made more per season then the team salaries of like 6 teams. That and we don't win.... I wouldn't say the rules in football are better. If a team wants to spend to keep or bring in the best players to make their team the best why should they be restricted by those who want to remain cheap? I still dont see the league having an uncapped year that would allow you to purge the waste of cap space from your team and allow everyone to be like the MLB for a season if you dont count the franchising and transition tags everyone will have.

dreamshatterer Posted February 27, 2009 Share Posted February 27, 2009 JLC has sucked so far. The Redskins "Insider" has been wrong numerous times even before last night. He should be fired if Canty just shows up today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
