Haynesworth to the Patriots for a 5th rounder.

[Jontrem]

Glad he is gone and that he did not end up going to the eagles. I hope he implodes (but) he will probably end up being pretty good for them.

[Gmanc711]

Well, I think its good we were able to dump both McNabb and Haynesworth before camp even started. No distraction there, which is great.

I think he'll end up kicking ass in New England, because he's still a good player, he just didn't want to try.

It is what it is, we had to get rid of him and move on. Even if he ends up being great there, I hope we remember what a disaster and distraction he was here... even if I think Shannahan shares some of the blame for some of last seasons issues.

Honestly I wouldn't have made this move. I'd have sat him on the bench and carried his $5.4 million number until he came around.

He'll dominate next to Wilfork.

I am relieved that Shanny and Allen got this done before AH reported.

I'm fine with a 5th round pick in 2013. Any draft pick is important for building and maintaining a team.

Freeing up the cap room is also important. I'm hoping that a Cullen Jenkins signing comes next.

I''m glad it's over. Now the focus will be on the rebuild. I am also happy that he is in another 3-4, the prick!

[Longtimefan]

Kraft for peace in more ways than one. To the NFL and to the Redskins organization.

I wish we could have worked it out with AH, I think he could still be one of the most dominant Dlineman in the league. But if this had to happen, I couldn't be more freaking happy about how it worked out. One, he was traded to a team that runs a 3-4 primarily, which freaking cracks me up. two, I hate Bill B, but it will be interesting to see how AH and he work together. Plus, with Tom Brady being such a vocal leader of that team and all the guys that are such a close nit group (instead of our disfunctional group) , like to see how they take to him.

Pats just got a steal, they will play him at RDE & he'll give them what Seymour did for several years. I'm not saying it was a bad move by Allen et al, had to get rid of him & the price to trade him out of conference wasn't going to be high. If he plays well, it will be another example of the pats getting a lot out of another disgruntled vet.

[VTSkins]

good freakin riddance. don't let the door hit you on the out painsworth

[VTSkins]

i always trade him in madden anyway

[12thMan]

I think the Pats got a good defensive lineman, hardly a steal though. I just don't think Haynesworth will ever live up to his potential at this point in his career.

Just reported that Haynesworth jersey's are on sale for $9.99.

[bigdaddy2348]

This is awesome news. Now the national media can take all the negative comment out there mouth about us. We won't have to hear everybody talk about we need to cut Haynesworth and or McNabb. I am sick and tired of hearing "Shanny is stupid for keeping Haynesworth" he is disruptive to the team. Really these are grown man and if they can focus on there game with a few distractions don’t need to be on the team. I think people need to shut up they paid for Al so they have the right to hold on to him and try to get something for him regardless of what people say. Really Bruce and Shanny has a plan and we need to let them work things out and then after 3 years we can judge. It didn't take a year or two to make this mess and it not going to take that amount of time to fix it. We are I think building a good fountain for the future. We are acquiring picks and role players for our base. Yeah we have needs but I am confident they will be filled.

[skinsfaninok]

Wow but don't they play a 3-4

[Dirtbag59]

Lesser of two evils. We play them this year. New England is in win now mode.

A well organized, well coached winning team can do wonders sometimes for disenchanted players. It will only take a minute for AH to realize he won't become a distraction in NE the way he did here. + He won't be asked to play the NT position, they have one of the best in the business already.
