Apparently though, we've had serious discussions with the Panthers talking about sending Haynesworth, our 2nd, and Fred Davis for Jimmy Clausen! Obviously nothing can happen right now without a CBA but I have really mixed feelings on this. Clausen's fine, but I need to get some draft pick back in return. Even if it's their 3rd round pick.
Interesting to note Snyder really wanted Clausen last year. Gotta wonder if he's not influencing this somehow. He's been pretty upset with Shanahan with how the whole McNabb situation was handled. He might be thinking "I let you get your guy last year, this year we're doing it my way"

I know it was just speculating but the last part about Snyder being involved is the worst part of this. We are in deep trouble if he is already interfering again. I can't see it though, Shanny thinks he's the smartest guy in any room he's in. Can't see any circumstance where he allows his owner to make any decision let alone the starting QB. As for the rumor itself...i think we all agree the compensation is rediculous. He was a #2 last year and if anything he's lost value. I would trade AH or Davis for him if Shanny & Allen really like him but all that for him is absurd. Vinny is no longer negotiating our trades...
