Evaluating the Redskins Trade Bait:

There were rumors of Lions looking at AH this past offseason too. Haynesworth sent Kyle Vanden Bosch to the Pro Bowl a couple of times while playing side by side. Him, Haynesworth, Suh, and whoever the other end us.. being coached by Schwartz, who coached them in Tennessee? That's probably good for a few wins alone next year.

I think the large FA pool diminishes any and all of our trade-able players

Ok, here's my bright idea.... we trade Doug Dutch for whoever we are looking to pick up, then when he gets cut we pick him back up and do it all over again. ;)

I mean it worked once. We got Beck and we picked Dutch back up after the Ravens cut him.

Considering that BOTH Suh and Haynesworth command double teams, teams would have to bring in a tackle-eligible for every play against the Lions D.

The only team remotely interested in AH at this point is the Titans. Some of the other teams mentioned up here (detroit) ended up passing b/c they didn't want Haynesworth no where near Suh during his development. They were right.

Right now, teams would have to give up a pick and pay him 5.4 mil for the season, and you'll be hard pressed to find any team who is going to want to give up that much for a head case like Albert. Sad thing is, Albert (much like TO and Moss) have put themselves in their predicaments.

I agree -- this seems right to me. But I will say, the combo of AH and Suh would be pretty scary. As would AH plus Seymour in Oakland, and Al Davis is just crazy enough to do it.

I'll bet Minny picks up AH to replace Pat Williams.

Haynseworth trade rumor....
Doesn't look like it has much meat to it though.

Lions might make a run at Albert Haynesworth (http://www.theredzone.org/BlogDescription/tabid/61/EntryId/14083/Lions-might-make-a-run-at-Albert-Haynesworth/Default.aspx)

That's like giving an unstable nuke to a third world country with political instability. Suh and a motivated Haynesworth would be unstoppable.

I was thinking the same thing. Jim Schwartz is familiar w/ AH. His system fits AH. Could you imagine a line w/ SUH and AH? AH plays well when he's not in a 3/4. I think it would be a good fit. Why not give us a 4th for him?

B/c nobody else (okay maybe the Titans) wants him and, if no one takes him off our hands we are likely to cut him. Why give us more than a 7th (to avoid paying a signing bonus) for him? At best a 6th so that we don't trade him to the Titans instead.
