MattFancy Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Adam_Schefter: Some more big reasons Albert Haynesworth won't be traded this off-season. RT@adbrandt Paid 21M on April 1, 32M past yr, won't trade now. That's what I was thinking too. Why would you pay a guy a $21M roster bonus on April 1 and then try to trade him less than a week later... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheismannQuote Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Schefter attributes the report to "a high-ranking Redskins source." http://nfl.fanhouse.com/2010/04/07/schefter-redskins-wont-trade-haynesworth/ I wonder if Schefter's high-ranking source owns this book?

MGutta Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 La Canfora.... Schefter.... La Canfora.... Schefter.... who to believe? Well according to rotoworld, With the Redskins having paid Albert Haynesworth his $21 million option bonus, his contract is essentially reduced to a three-year, $16M deal.$9M is guaranteed. "Every team in the NFL would have interest in that," a league source told Profootballtalk.com. The question is whether the Redskins will want some money back from the bonus they paid from interested teams. The Titans and Rams are believed to be in pursuit of Haynesworth. St. Louis makes a lot of sense because of its annually putrid run defense, and Washington's confirmed interest in Adam Carriker. $5 and change per year for the best defensive tackle in the game? I think that could bring back a LOT, regardless of what kind of person he is. The Chiefs got a first, two thirds and swapped 6's with the Vikings for Jared Allen. Just saying. I may be wrong, but allen had just been signing RFA tenders and, eventually, a franchise tag before he was traded. Also, Shaun Rogers signed for 6/$42 (7 mil annual) with Cleveland a couple of years ago. He is now age 31, compared to Albert's 28. Just complete speculation, but if I'm another team, this is an investment I'd like to make. EDIT: I see you guys thinkt he stumbling block would be the 21M bonus paid... Question. Why would Bruce restructure that and then, go back and offer him to the eagles right away if that was a problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TD_washingtonredskins Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 That's what I was thinking too. Why would you pay a guy a $21M roster bonus on April 1 and then try to trade him less than a week later... Well, I can certainly see why you'd want to keep someone you've paid $32M over the past year or so. However, you could make the argument that trading him was not an option until they cut that $21M check. So, if (big if) the staff really doesn't think he fits in with their future, now would be the time to cut your losses, eat the money, and get something back for him. But, admittedly, it's much more likely they'd want to get something out of their huge investment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DCranon21 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Well that's good news. I wouldn't want him being traded for some low rate DP and player. Hope it works out with him and Haslett running the defense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chicken Fried Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Well, Schefter is really the only one who knows what he's talking about, although he missed the boat on the McNabb trade. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santana_4_prez Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 This is going to tick off TK / Schefter... http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2010/04/07/redskins-haynesworth-are-suddenly-playing-chicken/ More significantly, Schefter's source also said that Haynesworth "is, and will continue to be, the Redskins' starting nose tackle." Those last two words are powerful; Haynesworth has made it clear that he has no desire to play "nose tackle" in the new 3-4 defense that the Redskins are installing. Characterizing Haynesworth as a "nose tackle" surely is aimed at reminding Haynesworth that, if he stays, he'll be expected to do something he doesn't want to do.Schefter's version comes at a time when three other NFL writers -- Jason Reid of the Washington Post, Jason La Canfora of NFL Network, and John Clayton of ESPN -- have reported unequivocally that Haynesworth remains available. Our guess is that Shanahan is using his relationship with Schefter as a way to apply the brakes to what quickly was becoming inevitable, and in turn to squeeze Haynesworth into coughing up some of that large pile of cash he received last week, if he wants to avoid playing "nose tackle" in the Redskins' 3-4 defense.

HailNatsSkinz Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Guys, there was a huge clue telling everyone who TK is a while ago, I am shocked no one caught it. But I know who TK is .

pastha40 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 The skins paid a huge chunk of Fat Al's guaranteed money after the Mcnabb trade. Whats left on his contract is a 3 year deal worth 16M, 9 of which is guaranteed. That is definitely a tradeable contract and they will move his fatass for a fair offer. Al had a chance to make nice with the new regime and he passed; rather go ride on that ugly ass cigar boat. Well he made his choice and shanahan made his; the days of the inmates running the aslyum are over. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tyman21 Posted April 7, 2010 Share Posted April 7, 2010 Why would they refuse to put him at end and move him abround, he could be such a beast at DE with Orakpo rushing on the same side, just imagie that. And why would they get Maake is they want him to play NT? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
