Haynesworth Update

[Alec22]

Due to his frustration with a potential move to nose tackle, Albert Haynesworth is reportedly hoping to be traded during the NFL Draft.

The Washington Post cites "two people in the organization familiar with his situation." Haynesworth is skipping voluntary minicamp this weekend and will only report to mandatory minicamp in June. Despite Mike Shanahan's comments to the contrary, we fully expect him to be available for the right price next week. The Titans, Lions, and Rams are the most likely trade partners.

Draft day trade, i would think wash would be ok with the rams 3rd (essentially a 2nd) and financial consideration

ZOMG!!!!! Bradford, Demyrius Thomas, Hanesworth, Osi, Scheffler, AJ Edds!!!! AHHHHHHHHH

Why trade for haynesworth when we can have SUH, a 10 time pro bowl and hall of fame dt!!!! Roflcopters!!!!

[Alec22]

(even tho i want suh #1)

We could draft bradford, d.thomas, haynesworth, scheffler, Osi, (next years 4th) 5th 6th 7th etc.

Not a bad draft....

And yes, this will never happen

[berg8309]

In all seriousness, I would love to grab Haynesworth for a mid-round pick. Due to the money owed him and his regression last year, as well as his attitude problem, I wouldn't be willing to give up the 2nd pick tho, and prolly not a 3rd either. Not sure Washington would accept less, but with his high cap hit (assuming the cap comes back next year) I'd rather have the cheaper younger talent.

If I'm Washington, I'm not taking less than a second for him unless it's packaged with a future pick as well. And if I'm the Rams, I'm not sure how much I want to give up for a guy with (1) attitude/character concerns and (2) who probably isn't going to be an every-down DL for me.

Redskins DC Jim Haslett says Haynesworth will play all across their DL, not just at nose tackle. So maybe he can live with that. I just don't know if, with only four picks in this draft and a number of needs on offense, the Redskins can afford to part with their best defensive lineman at a reduced cost.

I have a feeling if we were to end up with Haynesworth it would be at the cost of a 3rd plus a swap in position of either 1st or 2nd round picks. I could live with that even though his contract is Insanely overpriced. I don't think I'd drop a 2nd on him simply because he has really only been dominant 1 season and was "Guud" not exceptional during other seasons.

Update: Shannahan states that Haynesworth will not be traded, and Haynesworth is still on the Redskins roster. More as the story develops...

I don't really want haynesworth.. our D is young and I think he would leave a bad impression on them.. the skins can keep em for that outrage of a price

[Alec22]

As for the contact - haynesworth was just payed over 20 mill, making his contract much more reasonable tho the rams would prob have to give fin considerations for him, he wouldnt be as overpriced as advertised.
