Redskins D-coordinator talks frustration over Haynesworth

[over the mountain]

Slinging Sammy - finally I may have found one person who may believe in my conspiracy theory that AH never intended to play for the skins past 18 months and the only reason he accepted the skins offer (which was less than the bucs) was b/c he and his agent thought they could collect 38 mil for 18 months, get traded to a new team where his skins front loaded contract gets ripped up and he gets a more traditional big time contract that pays him as he he plays.

No way in hell AH was going to play for 5-6 mil per season in his prime after he got the landfall 38 mil. It would take a person with integrity to say "you know what, you paid me twice as much as I should have made for the first 2 years of the contract so Im going to play for half of what I should be making for the next 2 years".

Interesting that NFL.com is coming out with this article now. I could have sworn I heard the 10-15 snaps quote as early as the later part of the season.

The articles on nfl.com have gotten horribly redundant. At this point with the lockout preventing any big off season news from arising i feel like they're scrambling to write about anything. Hell they're even doing celebrity look-a-likes now.

I think this article came out after Haslett did a radio interview. Sure, he repeated some stuff he'd said earlier, but it was a recent interview.

Yup...that said, I wish there some legitimate new news

Haslett needs a gag order.
Any trade value Stainsworth had is eroding quickly.

[freddyg12]

Haslett said towards the end of the season, I think when he was suspended, that AH said he just wanted to play nickel & rush. The only thing knew to me was that he mentioned how disrespectful AH is of the rules in meetings.

I don't think at this point that they could do anything to change the obvious perception of AH, I mean they already suspended him. It's kind of a balancing act for the team w/the media, they don't want to talk too much if they can keep all problems in-house, but we're long past that. They need to some degree to back up their actions publicly & let fans et al know why they've taken the course they have.

I swear Fat Als half dumb...

CUT THIS BUM.

I would trade him at the first opportunity, for whatever we can get. Even if it's a 7th round pick, ship him outta here. Hopefully to an NFL wasteland like Buffalo.

What's the effect on us if one of his various legal problems (and the no doubt future ones to befall him) lands him in jail? Hard to imagine he can continue on his current path and not meet that fate in the next few years. Maybe we should send him out clubbing with Plax.

wouldn't do it. they have to get at least a 3rd rounder. if they can't get fair market value then keep him here and let him rot on the bench. i'm in total favor of making an example of him.

[MTK]

I don't think another year of his distractions would be a good thing for the team, you could see guys were sick of hearing/talking about him last year. No sense in cutting off your nose to spite your face. It's best to move on.

albert haynesworth: one of the greatest con-men in NFL history.

[NLC1054]

The problem with letting him rot on the bench, is that it potentially takes up a roster spot for someone else we need. Given the choice between having Albert Haynesworth sit on the roster all year doing nothing and having Chris Neild make the football team, I'll take the latter, just for example.

[Longtimefan]

We definitely don't need to spend another entire season talking about Albert Haynesworth. That's exactly what will happen if he's anywhere around to be talked about. Time to move ahead.
