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.

Yeah I never understood that group at all.

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).

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.

They're desperate since Gerald McCoy got IR'd. They're doomed now. I can see it now, Fatal Bert blows a gap assignment and Turner or Stewart takes it to da house. Mwahahaha.

That punk voodoo guy they have at Raymond James deserves some suffering. That stadium is like kryptonite to us.

I thought the skins finding the endzone was!!!!!!

It's funny. We came into the season expecting to have revenge games against Haynesworth and McNabb. Now it looks like we won't even get a chance to face McNabb. Ironically the only revenge game we did end up having was a loss against Los and the 9ers.

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.

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.
