The ten latest exclusive Washington Redskins, Washington Capitals, and NFL Draft news and articles by www.thehogs.net. en-us http://www.thehogs.net/content http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1181 Last season, THN launched a weekly interview during the preseason with Redskins starting defensive end Andre Carter, aptly named: “THN Weekly with Andre Carter.” THN is proud to announce that Andre has happily agreed to continue THN Weekly for the 2009 season. And in this special installment of THN Weekly, Andre gives his thoughts on just about everything that happened during yet another entertaining offseason as well as how he spent his down time during the late winter and spring. ... Tue, 9 Jun 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1180 In this exclusive interview with THN, Redskins safety Reed Doughty describes how he spent his offseason, his decision to return to the team, how he felt about the team's offseason moves, and his outlook on the 2009 NFL Draft. If anyone knows adversity, it's Reed Doughty. Whether it's battling to make an NFL roster as a rookie coming out of little University of Northern Colorado in 2006, coping with his first son Micah's kidney disease, stepping up in place of superstar safety Sean Taylor... Wed, 8 Apr 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1179 Sean Taylor would have been 26 today. Running a Washington Redskins web site, there's not a day that goes by that one doesn't think about what a tragedy Sean's murder was, and from so many different angles. First and foremost, it robbed a family of its beloved son, a woman of her beloved fiance, current and former teammates of a friend and the most heart-wrenching of all, a little girl of her Daddy. As bad as remembering that couple of days are for the people that knew Sean Taylor the Redski... Wed, 1 Apr 2009 11:00:00 CDT http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1178 The most quoted paragraph on Washington Redskins message boards and any other discussions about the Redskins leading up to the start of Free Agency was from the Washington Post. It read: "The Redskins still have one of the worst salary cap situations in the NFL. They could be roughly $10 million under the cap by restructuring a few more contracts and releasing a player such as veteran cornerback Shawn Springs, but that might not be enough for the Redskins to sign a high-profile player wh... Thu, 5 Mar 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1177 The Redskins have addressed another need by bringing back the missing original member of "The Dirtbags." Left guard Derrick Dockery will sign a five-year, $26.5 deal to return to the Redskins. The contract should be a happy medium between the reported three-year, $12 million pact offered by the Redskins just prior to free agency in 2007 and the seven-year, $49 million deal he ended up accepting from the Buffalo Bills, where he has started all 32 games the last two seasons. On the eve of ... Sat, 28 Feb 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1176 The Redskins have done it again. This time, it's record setting. Never shy from attempting to catch the big fish in the ocean known as NFL free agency, the Redskins have essentially caught the whale shark of this year's talent pool. The team doled out a 7-year, $100 million contract to former Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, the largest contract ever given to a defensive player, with a reported $41 million in guarantees, a record for any NFL player. The deal could es... Fri, 27 Feb 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1175 The Washington Redskins have roughly 45 players under contract for the 2009 season, and off-season activities (Free Agency and the Draft) are fast approaching. The Redskins are currently more than $3 million over the projected 2009 cap. Contract restructurings and player cuts are right around the corner, so where will the Redskins start? First, they will need to tender contract offers to the restricted free agents that they will be bringing back. Chances are Defensive Tackles Kedric Golsto... Mon, 2 Feb 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1174 The Redskins completed their final contest of the year against the San Francisco 49ers in a similar heartbreaking fashion that mirrored the season as a whole. The Redskins had high hopes at the halfway point with a record of 6-2, while the hopes of a victory following their halftime lead against San Francisco dwindled as the game ended with a last second field goal, putting the finishing touches on a season that ended in an aura of disappointment. The defeat was especially painful for defens... Mon, 5 Jan 2009 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1172 Redskins defensive end Andre Carter is returning to San Francisco's Candlestick Park -- the place he called his NFL home for his first five seasons -- for the first time since 2005. Washington was eliminated from the play-offs last week by the Atlanta Falcons, bit Carter has plenty of motivation following the Redskins completion of a season sweep against the Philadelphia Eagles. The Redskins 10-3 victory over the Eagles was fueled by a fiery effort from the team's 4th ranked defense, holding... Sun, 28 Dec 2008 11:00:00 CST http://www.thehogs.net/content/index.php?id=1170 It's official. The Redskins have now reached the lowest point of their season. A 20-13 loss to the Cincinnati Bengals last Sunday deflated almost any hope the team had of reaching the 2008 postseason. Many players and coaches continue to say that the team practices at a playoff-like pace and focus hard every week to prepare for these games, so why hasn't it shown when it comes to game time? "Good question. Even I can't answer that. We are busting our tail in practice. Our level of confiden... Sat, 20 Dec 2008 11:00:00 CST
