AH trade II La Canfora insists AH is indeed on the trading block.

I think AH is nothing more than a chip to build this team at this point. Whether he wants to be here or not he is being used to build the roster. I think the redskins will send him to Detroit for their second and something else. They will then draft okung and we will move down using suh as the ammunition and still draft Williams. We will pick up a 3rd in moving down giving us a 1st, 2nd, 3rd, 4th, 5th, and a 7th.

If we send him to Detroit, they're drafting Okung. Both of their lines would be strengthened then.

Do any teams really stick to the points chart anymore? It may be used as a rough guideline, but I think it's going by the wayside now.

Could be. IMO It seems that when it's a straight pick for picks trade in that years draft it comes out somewhat close to the chart most times. When players or even future year picks are inserted into a deal it tends to change everything. It seemed like NY moved up for Sanchez for next to nothing last year in my eyes just becasue Mangenus put some over-inflated value on his former Jet players.

It may be used as a rough guideline, but I think it's going by the wayside now.Smart teams like New England stockpile 2nd round picks, because that's where real value is. Considering the ridiculous rookie slotting system of 1st round contracts, Suh and G. McCoy will make guaranteed money comparable to the obscene amount that we threw at Haynesworth. I really hope that the next CBA limits rookie pay in favor of proven veterans. Let a player prove it on the field before he can break the bank.

I just don't get it. I do know you can't have it two ways. Either M.Shanahan is telling the truth or he's not.

Everyone is quick to point out that Shanahan said "T.O. is not in the Redskins plans." Meaning we will not be picking up T.O., but don't hesitate to question the fact that Shanahan said AH is a Redskin and is contracted and will remain a Redskin.

If Shanahan is telling the truth about T.O. then the obvious is also true...AH will not be traded.

Unless Shanahan is lying which means he could be lying about T.O. also. which is it?

Two different issues are at play here.

TO is a free agent. No need to smoke screen or lie. Just sign him...or not.

AH, on the other hand, may be traded with draft implications. Therefore a smokescreen or lie may be appropriate.

Maybe the Viks in play or should I say "hot pursuit" for fat albert....

Vikings in "hot pursuit" of Haynesworth
Posted by Michael David Smith on April 22, 2010 5:12 PM ET
One of the more intriguing draft rumors floating around today involves a new team that may have an interest in acquiring Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth: The Minnesota Vikings.

A league source told PFT that the Vikings are in "hot pursuit" of Haynesworth.

The rumor we heard lines up with something Judd Zulgad of the Star Tribune wrote today, indicating ESPN's John Clayton had mentioned that the Vikings had contacted the Redskins about Haynesworth. Although Redskins coach Mike Shanahan has said there have been no Haynesworth trade talks, most people believe that Haynesworth would be available.

Haynesworth would seem to be a better fit in the Vikings' 4-3 defense than in the new 3-4 that the Redskins are installing. In Minnesota, Haynesworth would join a defensive line that already has defensive tackles Kevin Williams and Pat Williams, both of whom are still potentially facing four-game suspensions over a 2008 positive test for a prescription diuretic.

Thats interesting.... Do you think there is ANY way that we get their 1st round pick for him?

I'm not really in favor of trading Big Al, but if we're going to, maybe we could at least get some value in this one.

That would be ****ing scary. Borderline insane defense. And I'm not to type to use profanity much.

OK, at this point AH needs to payback some of that money to get a trade. I'm not willing to let his ass walk with 30 million after just one year of service without getting at least a 1st round pick or some of that money back.
