2010 NFL Off-Season Rumors and Reports (Week 5)

They let him walk because he had a no-franchise tag clause in his contract if he made the Pro Bowl [and he wanted to be paid big, which they couldn't do or didn't want to do]. If they could have done so, they would have franchised him again.

NFL News Feed: No Franchise Tag For Haynesworth - Mark Maske (http://views.washingtonpost.com/theleague/nflnewsfeed/2008/12/no-franchise-tag-for-haynesworth.html)
Exactly- they could have paid him, they just didn't want to. My point. They let him walk.

Tennessee knows all too well what a headache Haynesworth is. There's a reason they let him walk. Why would they give up a 1st rounder to get him back?

I will repeat myself. NO ONE is giving us a first rounder for Godzilla. We have a better chance of getting a first rounder for Cooley and their is zero chance of that.

They won't because they want something in the first round, but Tennessee needs him more then we do. They sucked last year defensively and they know it's because they let AH walk. Getting him back would give their D a major boost in getting back to their former status.

But... a 3rd is a slap in the face to us and AH. Basically they are saying he's no better then a 3rd round player. Sorry Tenn enjoy your sorry ass season. AH is if not the best definitly one of the best at his position. No need taking anything less then a 1st round. As far as AH I'd say either give back "all" the bonus or remain a Redskin.

So if AH wants out of his contract with us or traded then pay back the whole bonus, get Tenn to give us a 1st rounder (next yrs 1st would be satisfactory to me), and see ya later on the field. Maybe.

I hope AH gets offended with Tenn's 3rd round offer.

The only team bat-shit crazy enough to give us a 1st rounder for AH is Oakland, and they already did that for a D-lineman last year by shipping off a 1st rounder for Seymour.

Tennessee didn't offer anything. The article involves a sports writer speculating what they might offer.

Gottcha, but I still wouldn't settle for anything less then a 1st rounder either this yr or next.

I keep forgetting that they are a professional team...

A first for Seymour?! That is nuts. Nothing was crazier than Heyward-Bey.

Although, who would you rather have on your team right now RS or AH?

That's tough. Seymour is a bit older (not much) than AH, but he's a quality locker room guy and high level player. AH is more dominant at his position, but Seymour has a smaller contract and doesn't cause the kind of problems Albert does.

As far as Heyward-Bey, as soon as Oakland drafted Louis Murphy in the 4th round, I said he would be far and away the best rookie WR on that team. Heyward-Bey is a sprinter who happens to have caught a few deep balls in college. Typical Al Davis fail.

For crying out loud. Its an UNCAPPED year. Just sign Flozell Adams for crying out loud. Give him a boatload of money and then draft Okung. Left tackle problem solved.
Continue to screw around...let Adams sign with somebody else...we have an injury or 2 and suddenly we start over and experience 2009 all over again.
