Haynesworth to the Patriots for a 5th rounder.

I'd would be shocked if AH dominated in New England.

He won't dominate, but Darth Hoody will get a lot out of him, and if not he will cut him. NE has had bigger trouble head cases before and knows how to deal with them, they also do the best job at getting the best out of a player and scheme around their abilities. Of course this all depends if AH has anything left in him after two years of mediocrity.

He'll make the Pro Bowl this year then NE will trade him for a first round pick in 2012.

...to Oakland. LOL.

worst free agent signing in the history of the league. glad he's gone. but not sure why a organization like ne wants any part of this loser.

That's my point. He's been mediocre for two years. The players people often point to are on the offensive side of the ball re: Moss, Dillon. I can't think of a veteran defensive acquisition that turned into a Pro Bowler up there.

Do I think he deserved to sit on the bench? Yup. Am I glad we didn't trade him to Philly? Yup. Bottom line, however, I'm just glad we, the fans, don't have to hear about him anymore. I'd have been happy to let him ride the bench, I'd been happy to trade him to Cinci for a ham sandwich, I'd have been happy with any outcome that means I don't have to listen to the media, the fans, or anyone else bitch about AH.

We got a pick for him when it looked like we were getting nothing. The distraction is gone. If he tears it up for NE for while, fine. Whatever. At least now we don't have to start every thread with "How will it affect Haynesworth? / Keeping Haynesworth takes up a roster spot! / Shanny an ass b/c he is keeping Haynesworth / blah, blah Haynesworth blah, blah."!!

He will be motivated by his anger, for a while, then he will suck his thumb. Belichek will push his buttons for a while and get him to play at a high level, but like Randy Moss (and as Matty said) soon enough he will be sucking his thumb and pouting. When we play them, just run the other way, run a draw or two, and throw a few screens over his head - soon enough, he'll get tired of all the running around, fall down and just choose not to get up.

I hope it's a conditional pick. This team always gets the stort end of the stick with trades.

Well Moss was pretty mediocre in Oakland. I doubt he'd be turn into a Pro Bowler. Darth Hoody will make him work and if not he will cut him, it's that simple.

Agree. This was an obvious Patriots rip-off.

While there is obvious hidden value in keeping him out of the division, the belief in such value is an admission that the player in question makes any defensive front better. It was kind of like the Favre saga of 2008: the Packers eventually did get value on him, but if they really believed in Aaron Rodgers, they should have just released Favre and let him go to Minnesota. Problem was: they didn't really believe in Aaron Rodgers, they just believed Favre was done or near done.

If the Redskins really believed they were right that Haynesworth creates more problems for a defensive scheme than he solves, they should have released him and let Philadelphia take him. But obviously, they did not believe that. And this was a sell low job with that contract.

I disagree. It is simply a recognition Philly's system would work better for Haynesworth and a recognition of AH's twisted mentality.

We new what system we wanted to run and are building to it. It is a system that AH would NEVER excel in as more than a role player. On the other hand, Philly runs, and has already built, a system conducive to Haynesworth's skill set with a DL coach who got the most out of him.

On top of that, although not motivated by money, AH has a twisted sense of self worth and, when he feels he has been treated with disrespect, he either runs in the corner and pouts or plays like a beast. In a system where he can take out his frustrations and, literally, be the big man on a small team, it is more likely he would have played like a beast - particularly against us.

Why put him in a situation where he may excel against us? I got no problem not trading him to Philly, the team that probably values him the most. It is a recognition of the realities involved not an admission that we should have accomodated AH while he was here.

Again, we got something for a nothing - just like in the Jarmon & McNabb trades.

Thank God he is gone and Good F'ing riddance. I shall do my best never to type about that big fat lazy good-for-nothing warped little cry-baby a**hole again!
