They aren't going to a 3-4....I wouldn't mind seeing it but its not happening. If they could sign Haynesworth to a 1 year deal worth next to nothing why not?

not too sure haynesworth understands what you mean by "next to nothing" nor would that be his motivation to play hard

dude is a sociopath that needs a hug bad by his former d coordinator. if hugs work Im all for it.

Incentive filled contract.

...with the best out-clause ever written

"I owe Coach Wash pretty much everything. If my deal was $100 million or whatever, then Washburn deserves $90 million,'' Haynesworth said. "I have the talent, but he taught me how to let it loose. As a player, once you can get through the (colorful language), get down to the core of what he is saying, the information is more valuable than gold.

"He's a great coach, a great teacher. The Titans should have paid a lot of money to keep him from leaving.''

yea and any kind of short term incentive laden contract is a no-brainer and this is not a debate

who is going to cry over lost playing time or hurt feelings to bunkley and patterson and dixon

Agreed and I hate players like this. TO was the same story. Helped the team when he felt like it. Singled handedly destroyed the team when he felt like it. It's tempting to want a player like Haynesworth, and I think everyone's judgement has been clouded by the Vick reclamation project, but count me as someone who would be extremely cautious about a deal even if it is an imaginary one year, incentive laden, blah blah blah type thing.

you never turn away talent like that....if he acts up at any point you just cut him...but to automatically eliminate someone who could drastically help your team because they have an attitude past is not smart football business

I'm completely on board the "get Haynesworth" bus, and I don't care what it costs to get him so long as we aren't talking draft picks.

for straight up money, he's worth the shot.

NFL Network's Jason La Canfora reports that Albert Haynesworth is willing to take less money to play for new Eagles DL coach Jim Washburn again.

Haynesworth had his best seasons under Washburn in Tennessee, and the Eagles are expected to make finding a playmaking defensive lineman an offseason priority. A healthy, motivated Haynesworth would make RE Trent Cole that much more dangerous. This all assumes that Haynesworth is released rather than traded. The Skins will try to get something for him first.

Was the TO experiment worth it? They cut him in the middle of his second season and it was already too late. Look, I get what you're saying, and I wouldn't howl at the moon if they did sign him, but I would be plenty nervous about it.

They gave TO a 7 year 49 million dollar deal. You don't do that with Haynesworth, you ink him to a 1 or 2 year deal with a ton of incentives built in. He sounds like he'd be open to the idea because of Washburn. He isn't getting anywhere close to what the Skins gave him so he's deluding himself thinking otherwise. If he doesn't go for the above written type of deal you don't sign him.

rjs246 · January 21, 2011, 09:56:27 AM

From a different angle, I'm not sure I understand how that even helps the team. Sure, it makes them better in a specific way for next year, but with terrible defensive personnel and a new DC with a new way of running Reid's schemes I don't think anyone believes that this team is an Albert Haynesworth away from the superbowl. So what does signing him for one year accomplish? As soon as he gets paid again he's likely to sink back into his psycho ways.

Whatever. farg the offseason.

reese125 · January 21, 2011, 10:31:04 AM

Who knows. Maybe they were a Haynesworth away from a superbowl. It's not like they got blown out by the Packers. You jam the middle and off-tackle spot Starks does squat, and more pass pressure is placed on Rodgers from the end positions.

They are all big if's, but I don't think it's car fetched to think especially if everyone thinks Haynesworth is this great talent.
