How about Haynesworth?

[Mahdi]

I think this guy can still be every bit as good as he was in Tennessee. When he did get on the field for the Skins he was actually quite good.

Seeing as how we will be a multiple front I think that would be perfect for Haynesworth. He played DE sometimes in Tenn. and I'm sure he would love the idea of playing DT in our 4 man line and playing some DE in our 3 man fronts.

He would be doing that with KW beside him and Merriman off the edge.....


That would be a DL that could get after Tom Brady for once.


Thoughts?

Hell no dont want his attitude on this team

Re: How about Haynesworth?

With the signing of Merriman it's clear we will be a 3-4 defense full time next season. Haynesworth would not want to come here knowing that........there are a ton of 4-3 teams that could use him........Bengals, Texans, Colts, Jags, Titans, Raiders, Giants, Eagles, Bears, Lions, Vikings, Falcons, Panthers, Bucs, Rams and Seahawks are all options for him.......he wont be coming to Buffalo.

I wouldn't want anything to do with that cancer.

Re: How about Haynesworth?

I could see the Saints and Colts making a run for his services next year.........he instantly turns those defenses into top 10.

Yeah he had some bad plays but he had some great ones. This guy didn't just suddenly suck. He is still one of the best DL in the league.

I kind of went here yesterday but came to the conclusion that it isn't a fit.

Rotoworld says that the contract is now 5.4 mill next year and that none of the bonus is guaranteed. If I read that right, I read 5.4 mill which is way less that the 10 mill per that the contract seemed to be written for. I'd like to hear someone confirm if I am reading that right. That is very affordable for what you may get:

Here's the contract details, someone crack this code for me because it's far from easy to understand:

http://www.rotoworld.com/content/playerpages/player_contract.aspx?sport=NFL&id=2636

They also predict it may only take a 5th to get him which again would seem cheap if you get the Titans version of Albert and if he's not a head case but rather a motivated player.

I thought that Nix and Gailey could give him what he wants which is reportedly to not be a 3-4 NT. That we could use him in the 5 technique and let him rush the passer, and hold up against the run.

The problem I had is that we seem to be building character and targeting players with good character. This is a young team and has a coach who is building them into a strong willed, mentally tough team. I'm not sure Gailey will want to jeopardize that with a guy who could cause locker room problems.

If Gailey and Nix felt he can return to form, if they think they can put him in a position he's happy with, if they think they can get the production that they need out of him, and if they can convince themselves that he won't be any trouble at all in helping to build character on this team, then I wouldn't have a problem with it. But that's a ton fo if's and I'm not sure we would even be willing to go there.

Re: How about Haynesworth?

Haynesworth wants nothing to do with a 3-4 defense. Unless the Bills are going to switch back to a 4-3 (which I doubt), he won't come here.

[Mahdi]

Re: How about Haynesworth?

So why is he such a bad character? From what I know he had the stomping incident which was pretty bad but not the first time a player has done something dirty.

Other than that the Washington situation. Personally, I think the Skins were dumb to ask him to play NT. And if you are a player who was considered the best pass rushing DT in the game and then asked to play NT in a 3-4, that is pretty annoying.

He agreed to join the Skins as a FA based on what they had planned for him.

Basically for him, it was like being an executive in a company making a ton of money, then they ask you to go down a few floors and start working on basic accounting and all that grunt work after proving to be the best executive out there. Even if you kept the same salary you would not like that.


Does that example fly with anyone or???

No, Haynesworth does not want to be a NT. And our defense next year according to Gailey will be multiple. As in divided between playing 3-4 and 4-3.

In that case, Albert could be our DE in the 3-4 and a DT when we are in 4-3 looks. I would say that is a great fit.


This guy just wants to play his position.

I don't think that's what he said. I think he said he doesn't want to play NT. Ngata is a huge guy too and doesn't always play the nose.

The Ravens use a guy who's Kyle Williams size in Kelly Gregg as the NT and Ngata who's huge as a 5 technique. It would be potentially a similar situation.

Kelley Gregg is 6' 320:

Haloti Ngata is 6' 4" 350:

Kyle Williams is listed as 6' 1" and 306 but has added weight:

Albert Haynesworth is listed as 6' 6" 335 (he's heavier than that now):
