For anyone wondering, the Bucs were the only team to place a claim on Albert Haynesworh.

Ok whats gona happen when play Minn & NE?? Thats right come out and play like garbage!!!! :silly:

Well, there were some strange silliness among the fanbase about KEEPING HIM ANOTHER YEAR to "punish" him and make him suffer. If anything, I'm absolutely glad those fools were absolutely wrong in their assessment.

You know I was one of those fools that wanted to see fat and ugly rot away on the bench. The reason for my thinking was that i was sick and tired of our way of buying and dying by high named players. Today all I care about is getting us on the right track towards a respectable team not FRANCHISE, but a team.

I think you've got to be a lot more diplomatic towards MS & Allen; they both were knew & their boss just paid an exorbitant sum for this guy. Easy for us to say he "should've" gotten rid of him, we don't have to tell our boss his $40 mil is gone after 1 year. MS did the right thing by confronting him & saying; 'if you take the bonus $ we expect you to play in our system.'

Given AH's attitude, this was a no-win situation for MS. He tried to get an adequate return on the investment. Now that he's been cut by NE, MS & Allen are vindicated to some degree. Of course, it's not a "victory" for the organization overall, since Vinny signed him in the first place. But in terms of moving on from that terrible signing, it's good for the organization's rep.

You have a timeline problem here.

Shanahan and Allen joined the Redskins in Jan 2010. The $21M check was not handed over to Haynesworth until April 2010. They - - actually Shanahan and Haslett - - had about 10 weeks to make a decision on what to do about paying Haynesworth and how they would be playing Haynesworth. They had plenty of time to ditch him and end what turned out to be a giant goat rodeo.

Now, we will NEVER know if they made an independent decision to keep him and mold him into the Shanahan/Haslett system or if the word came down from upstairs that the decision on Albert had already been made. But understand that while they are totally innocent when it comes to the original Haynesworth signing, they have some complicity in what happened last season.

Well, unlike Shanahan, BB didn't wait to release him or try to "teach him a lesson." Granted that the Pats really invested close to zero on him (a 5th rounder for the Pats is nothing for a team that constantly has multiple picks in the first couple of rounds).

As I've said before, in the end this isn't much of a victory, since it clearly shows that this guy was an issue and the MS should've gotten rid of him as soon as he started here (and get that 3rd rounder that according to rumors got offered for AH).

Two totally different situations. The Pats had a hell of a lot less invested in AH. AH took the huge payout from the Redskins so they were not going to reward him after paying that amount of jack. Pretty much a common sense move for the Redskins.

I do not believe Shanahan cared much about the payout involved as long as it didn't affect the cap. What he saw probably was an extremely talented guy that could pay huge dividends if it worked out. Remember, he's a new guy then and didn't know AH's mind or history that well. He was making a decision that had a degree of uncertainty involved. It's clear he wasn't the only one willing to take a chance on hoping AH pans out.

Ultimately, the loss was more psychological than tangible. A toxic workplace was the ultimate loss for the players on the team. Draft picks are valuable for a rebuilding team, but at the same time, the loss of a 3rd rounder in exchange for a 5th rounder is not the end of the world.

I love how some Bucs fans are loving this move. I dunno. Maybe it'll work out for him. He's finally back in the 4-3.

You can't fix fat lazy and stupid.

EDIT: I take that back. As a fat, lazy, and stupid person who is actively trying to form better habits and become a better person, I realize it is doable. But you have to have the willpower to want to do that, and that's what's missing from Big Al.

So to summarize, what separates me from Big Al is I'm not satisfied with myself in any shape or form, and as long as he has millions in his bank account he's probably happy giving half ass effort and being a prick.

shanny's Presser today was hilarious when asked about AH
