More Haynesworth Drama? Big Al Sounds Off After Ravens Game

Cutting him would be dumb for a couple reasons...
1st,he gets what he wants
2nd,he's playing for the Giants the following week. OK..I being presumptuous,but they offered close to what we paid..lol

Point is,you cut him and he's playing in your division or even same Conference.

You trade him,if you have to unload him.
If it's for a 2058 6th round pick...then fine,but you don't cut the guy.

and 3rd,we could use a player or draft picks for what the team has shelled out for this guy.

We're already down a 3rd and 4th for next season already. be nice to add picks instead of shipping them.

The perfect scenario?
Would be to trade the guy for a position of need or other player on the block.
Like Fat Al involved in trade with San Diego for V.Jackson.
Or maybe we snatch Revis from the jets
Heck,I would trade for OT Marcus McNeill,even though we don't need a tackle before just cutting haynesworth and getting nothing.

Problem is..chargers run a 3-4 I believe

But it's getting to the point where I would ALMOST trade him to the Giants just to get rid of the guy.
(Course..I would expect Undrafted WR rookie Victor Cruz at a bare minimum though...lol)

Honestly I don't know how good that is. The thing with rookie salaries is, everybody agrees that a rookie salary cap is a good idea, and the money being saved from having a rookie draft pick salary cap is supposed to go towards vets who have earned it in free agency. But if owners start getting scared about giving out big free agent deals for fear of signing the next Haynesworth, well then no player benefits. And if the players don't think they are going to benefit, they aren't going to agree to it in the next CBA. So it might end up being a hinderance to a new CBA getting agreed to, especially if owners insist on putting some sort of clause in there to prevent this Haynesworth type drama from ever happening again.

It doesnt seem to me that rookie salaries are out of control. Granted there are maybe a dozen or so rookies that get huge contracts without ever playing a snap in the NFL, and they get all the attention, if you look at rookie salaries in toto I think its pretty obvious the vast majority of the rookies dont make big $. I think if a rookie salary cap is implemented the players union will surely insist on a minimum rookie salary as well, and I suspect that minimum will be higher than what the majority of rookies are currently getting. My bet is that there wont be a rookie salary cap because owners will realize that in the long run it will cost them more $.

Nice, but I find the depiction of Albert to be way off. First need the moon size diamond bling hanging from his ears and then cameltoe would be appropriate to show his vagina.

LOL. Hilarious.

Well, to be fair, Shanahan came out Sunday and drew the line in the sand, no practice = no play. I don't see how anyone looks at MS and sees him not doing anything. If anything, I think you see AH's whining as proof that MS is not giving in to an impetuous player. The 2 main questions are, at what point does the shape up or ship out message sink in to AH? and if it doesn't can we get any compensation at all for him?

I'm curious as to exactly how that no practice no play mandate is going to play out over the course of the season. Key players are going to get nicked and maybe unable to practice much, if at all, during the course of the week. Does that mean they don't play on Sunday should they be able to go by weeks end? If that be the case, we're going to be presented with some very unpredictable line-up's as the season progresses.

I think the jist is that if you keep on making excuses when it comes to practice, but you are suddenly fine on game day, you will have a limited Sunday experience. If the complaint is valid, I am sure the trainers will be on top of that, and let the top brass know the situations.

At least thats how i took it. Shanahan is against overworking his veterans anyway, at least thats what I have heard this preseason. I think this is a non issue for the majority, if not for the rest of the team outside of Haynesworth.

From what I've seen with Shanahan in the past, at least with regard to his running backs, if they practice on Friday then they'll play on Sunday.

I think the media and the fans have be come obsessed with the guy. AH drama is getting old.
