Patriots Waive Haynesworth

[mlmpetert]

You know i could honestly see him just retiring.

Unbelievable how far this guy's game has deteriorated. Waste of talent. I would say the Eagles or the Titans too. I don't know if Reid would want this guys though.

Not much of a choice at this point. Still the Eagles are another team that could care less about taking on troublemakers. They have traded for T.O and signed Michael Vick among others. Besides they're desperate for some kind of push up the middle, even if it's a reckless non-team player that only cares about his stats.

Fat Albert never realized that his attitude has gotten him into trouble. The Patriots took a chance on him. Didn't risk much. Fat Albert's work ethic got him canned. The Patriots didn't put up with his crap. The book is out on Fat Albert. I'm not sure many teams would take a chance on him screwing up their locker room. That's why TO is still unemployed.

He's got no passion for the game. He's all about the paycheck, he got paid so he's just been coasting ever since.

Even I can't totally believe it. Fat Albert was able to contribute less than a drafted special teamer would. (imo, a 5th round pick averages out to a backup who plays special teams)

In short, we were able to rip off the Patriots.

Was Haynesworth at least in reasonable shape this season? Or was he more like the 2009 version of himself?

He was suspiciously absent from a good deal of training camp. But with Belichick being so tight on disclosing what's behind the doors, we can only make an educated guess.

It's hard to 'rip off' a team that only gave a fifth rounder, but it sure looks like we won the McNabb and Haynesworth deals.

I think this is a bit of a stretch. I'm just glad that the circus is gone and we got something in return for these two huge errors.

The three special teamers/olinemen or whatever other shots in the dark we draft from these players' respective trades don't need to contribute much to make more contributions than McNabb and Haynesworth. Just enough to beat out a half-season of almost nothing and another few weeks of bad QB play.

That's great, but it doesn't make up for the $41 million in guarantees and the 2nd rounder that were wasted in these two guys. Unless we get a solid starter out of these three low draft picks, we haven't won anything. Even if that happens, we still have a wasted year where the team could have been rebuilding.

Those are transactions that need be evaluated own their own terms. I get that you're talking about the whole sum of their contributions. But I'm talking about just the trades itself. It won't take much to win the trades in which we got the low round picks. It'll take more to make up for the total losses.

The only thing that surprise me is that a genius like BB actually thought it was a good idea to trade a pick for this worthless piece of garbage. I'm not surprise at all that the Pats decided to pull the plug on this waste of space.
