A good analysis from Florio on this situation, in the Jamal Brown Trade thread I was chatting with Alen about the thinking that has to go into the whole Fat Albert situation, and as Florio shows, there is much more to it than "he can play the 3 technique" (no offense meant to Alen).

And notice, Florio tosses McNabb's time in Philly with TO, but never delves into whether or not Haynesworth can actually help the 2010 Redskins Defense? Which at the end of the day is "the" decision imho.

BTW, Haynesworth is something of a hero for me, he shares my disdain for the 3-4..:D

 

Which is sort of my point Alen, there is more that goes into a player move than talent, there is a sort of mix of factors that have to be worked out that are as important as highly paid talent.

Imho that is a good illustration between a Scout and what a GM and Head Coach have to weigh.

 

Honestly, imho Haynesworth is *****ing because he knows if he is released another team will give him another large payday.

 

He wouldn't make more, he would make another large payday.

He already has 21 million in his pocket, and that does not include his 2009 upfront bonus, if manages to be released, he can sign a 1 yr deal, reprove himself, then hit another large payday.

Joey Porter showed how that works, and Porter isn't half the player Haynesworth is from a talent perspective.

And let me add that the Redskins know this, that (also imho) is why they gave him 21 million in April, if they wind up cutting him this year there won't be any Cap Problems paying down his bonus in future years, Shanny and Allen were more or less protecting the Franchise's future no matter what happens with Fat Albert.

 

There will be one, maybe a couple, big men who can move and produce are just hard to find, Fat Albert would fit in on several defenses, even the Vikings with one of the Williams Wall approaching their later 30's.
