Handicapping Trading Partners for Haynesworth and McNabb
 

It is very possible, if not probable, that both Haynesworth and McNabb will be traded during the offseason, perhaps just before the NFL Draft. I’m guessing that the Skins will want draft picks in return.

I’m also guessing that the Skins may take a little less for Haynesworth than they’ve supposedly asked for in the past because I don’t expect Haynesworth and Shanahan to reach an accommodation on Haynesworth’s role on the team. The very most I can foresee getting in return for Haynesworth is a 3rd Round pick but we’ll probably need to settle for a 4th Rounder.

As for McNabb, I can’t imagine that he would want to return as a backup, which is his likely fate if he stays in D.C. The Redskins overpaid for McNabb to begin with and then Shanahan’s benchings of McNabb depressed his trade value even more. I think we’ll probably get a 4th Rounder for him, as well.

The following are the teams I think might be interested in each player, with the most likely trading partners listed in descending order, and what I think the return for each player might be if he is traded.

Haynesworth – Obviously, we would need a 4-3 team to take him.

1.Tennessee – They have expressed interest in the past and they have a smallish D-Line. It’s also home to Haynesworth who played at UT (that’s a big deal to people who live there). It was rumored that TN offered a 4th for Haynesworth last season. We might be able to get their 4th (#12) and get them to swap 5th Rounders (#11 to WSH; #24 to TN).
2.Minnesota – They may lose one or both of their starting DT’s. I could foresee a similar deal with them. Their 4th (#9) and a swap of 5th Rounders (#8 to WSH; #24 to Min). If Min loses both starting DT’s, then we might be able to land their 4th (#9) and one of their two 5th Rounders (#8 or #19) for Haynesworth. Losing both DT’s might also propel Min to the top of my list. Min has no 3rd Round pick.
3.Detroit – Haynesworth’s former DC, Jim Schwartz, is now the HC in Detroit. Suh recently said that he’d love to have AH playing next to him. Nevertheless, as far as I know, Detroit hasn’t made a move to trade for Haynesworth and Corey Redding is a pretty good DT. Maybe they would trade their 4th (#10) and swap 5th Rounders (#9 for #24).
4.New Orleans – They’ve shown some interest in Haynesworth. They might like to play him between Sedrick Ellis and Will Smith. They have no 4th Round picks but they have two 3rd Round picks. Perhaps they would trade their second third round pick (#24) for Haynesworth.
5.Carolina – At DT they have, well, um, nobody. But now that Luck will not be in the draft, they should take a DT in the 1st Round. Whether they do or not, they are probably too cheap to pick up Haynesworth’s salary.

McNabb

1.Arizona – Their QB situation is horrible! They may draft a young QB but their team is set up to win now and they are in a weak division. They need a veteran QB. They might want to send their 4th Round pick (#6) to the Skins for McNabb.
2.Minnesota – See Arizona above. They have the #9 pick in the 4th Round.
3.San Francisco – They’ll probably draft a young QB but they might want a vet while the young QB develops. They could use their second 4th Round pick (#18) for McNabb.

Great thread. I'll share my thoughts later this afternoon

Re: Handicapping Trading Partners for Haynesworth and McNabb
 

Yeah I see both being moved...would both be in a package deal be "too crazy" of trade scenario? That would be ideal for a say a Tennessee, Minnesota, Miami or San Fran team...

Re: Handicapping Trading Partners for Haynesworth and McNabb
 

Shanahan's pissing match with AH, along with AH's character/work ethic have really devalue him as a trade option, however a lot of teams with a 4-3 defense could really use a guy like AH. I think the teams listed by KI are probably the best scenarios for Haynesworth and McNabb. I'll be curious (like someone already mentioned) if a team would take both of them. Although I think AH's best situation would be with Detroit, since Jim Schwartz seems to be the only person able to get anything out of this guy.

Re: Handicapping Trading Partners for Haynesworth and McNabb
 

With Ron Rivera going to Carolina, they will more than likely be moving to a 3-4.

Re: Handicapping Trading Partners for Haynesworth and McNabb
 

I wish we were closer to the draft but, I'll play along. If Suh was smart, he wouldn't want Haynesworth playing beside him.

Why do you say that? He's coached a 4-3 before.

Re: Handicapping Trading Partners for Haynesworth and McNabb
 

Only in madden will this play out like we want to. Unfortunately, most teams were not interested in McNabb last year when he was available, so to think they would want him after him having a horrible year is even less likely.

Same with Haynesworth,with how he's acted and the red flags that have been there since his days in Tennessee, no team is going to give up a draft pick AND pay him 5.4 mil. Not when they know they are going to get a guy who's going to half ass it, and dictate to coaches on what downs he wants to play...lol I think our only shot at trading AH has and always will be with Jeff Fisher and the Titans (4th rounder that was offered). The only way this changes is if some big time DT goes down on a contending team and they need somebody bad. (much like we did with Jason Taylor)

I read a quote from him where he said he planned to stick with the 4-3 because of the personnel that were already in place in Carolina. Imagine that!

Rivera used the 3-4 most recently in San Diego, but he's coached both schemes in the past. Though he promised to use "some elements" of the 3-4 in his new defense, key players such as MLB Jon Beason will stay in their comfort zones. River emphasized that his will be an "attacking" defense.

Re: Handicapping Trading Partners for Haynesworth and McNabb
 

I think AH lands in Detroit, he knows that system and coaching staff well.. Suh is there to help free AH and get him more chances to nail QBs..

1. Lions
2. Eagles- I think Philly could really use Haynesworth but would they actually want him on their team?


McNabb- This is tricky, the guy still has a big arm and some mobility. ARZ is the popular choice right now because he has a home there and works out every summer in AZ. Cards have some young QBs that they really like so they may just roll with what they got. I could see Min but now that Chilly is gone I doubt he lands there. Wildcard is Miami IMO, they need a QB and if Chilly becomes their OC I think it would be a perfect it. Solid OLINE, BIG TIME WR, and decent run game..

1.AZ
2. Mia

Re: Handicapping Trading Partners for Haynesworth and McNabb
 

I think we'll take at worst a 5th for Haynesworth, otherwise he'll just sit on our bench. I'm not sure Detroit or Carolina are really in the picture and I think the New Orleans ship sailed last year.

Tennessee and Minnesota I would agree are the favorites, my guess is Haynesworth ultimately agrees to give back a portion of his money and we send him home to Tennessee for a 5th and a 6th.

McNabb is tougher to figure out. I could easily see him staying, but at the same time he's easily tradeable and I think if he's not going to start here the Redskins will try to accommodate him.

I don't believe Arizona or Minnesota is really interested in him, nor he in them. I think it will come down to San Francisco or Miami. And I think it will be a 3rd and a 6th or 7th that gets it done.

Re: Handicapping Trading Partners for Haynesworth and McNabb

Ah yes, the money! I neglected to address that issue in my OP. I assumed that the Skins would hold Haynesworth hostage until they could get back some of the bonus money they paid him.

It would be a damn shame if the Skins could only get two low draft picks for Haynesworth. The number of picks (2) would be nice but the rounds you suggest aren't very appealing.

On the other hand, the value you put on McNabb seems too high to me.

Do you think the Skins would allow McNabb and his agent to shop for their own landing place?

Re: Handicapping Trading Partners for Haynesworth and McNabb
 

The Patriots thought they owned this upcoming draft. Yeah right.

When we trade AH and DM we are going to be the envy of the NFL on draft day!

Re: Handicapping Trading Partners for Haynesworth and McNabb
 

Actually if we could get a third or fourth for McNabb and a fourth or fifth for AH as well as a trade back in the 1st for an additional pick or two we would be in great shape to have a well rounded draft.

I think they would allow him to shop for his own landing place, though Allen publicly says they wouldn't.

I think McNabb may command a bit more simply because his contract is easier to manage, even if AH gives money back

Really? I thought w/AH's bonus $ mainly paid out that his contract was pretty manageable, not too expensive. McNabb on the other hand is set to make $16 mil in 2011, a franchise (top 5) level. Of course, he can be cut at no expense, but whoever would take him would have a pretty big salary for an old qb who might not win a starting job.

I don't recall the specific parameters but I believe it's worse for the receiving team if McNabb were to be moved after next season vs. this off-season

Maybe I'm mistaken, and getting my numbers confused. I'm pretty sure though that McNabb's contract is pretty agreeable

Haynesworth...He's been paid what..37 to 38 mil over two years?? I'm sure Snyder still wants a return on his investment so unless we get a high draft pick, or he returns some of the money I see him coming back. Det. didn't make a move for him, Minnesota is in somewhat of a rebuild mode, Tenn didn't take him back cause they're not going to overpay, so that leaves New Orleans. I could see him going there but will they be will to part way with a 3rd rounder? I doubt it. He's damaged goods IMO.

McNabb.. Old QB coming off a bad year. His options are limited. Arizona has Skelton and I bet they'll go with him. Minnesota or Miami might be his best option. Or where ever Childress might end up.

Re: Handicapping Trading Partners for Haynesworth and McNabb
 

I don't think Haynesworth "giving back money" means that it lands in Danny Boy's pocket. I think those checks are cashed and those are sunk costs. What Haynesworth may agree to do is to take less money in the remaining years of his contract such that he is less burdonsome from a salary point of view to the team that might seek to acquire him. His salaries in those final years are not trivial sums of money!

Even so, I do not think there will be a herd of GMs milling around outside the doors at Ashburn begging to have "rights of first refusal" on any deal involving Big Al. Most other GMs know that Mike Shanahan would greatly prefer not to have Big Al on the team - - whether or not he is playing or is on the bench or is inactive every other week. I suspect the bidding starts with a 6th round pick this year and a contingent 6th/7th next year.

McNabb's market value could be a lot more - - so long as there is no more overt dismissal of McNabb by the Shanahans. Miami needs a QB upgrade if they hope to compete in the AFC East; SF needs a QB upgrade no matter what; if Seattle loses M. Hasselbeck, they need QB help too; Arizona has three hugely mediocre QBs on their roster at the moment; in Minnesota, Joe Webb is at least a year of learning/study away from being a decent NFL QB; Cincy may or may not remain satisfied with Carson Palmer; Tennessee might be in the QB market; Denver might lose K. Orton. [B]PLUS[/B], never rule out Al Davis when it comes to a QB who can throw the long ball...

The key to getting something of value for McNabb is twofold:
[INDENT]1. There has to be a plausible sense that more than one team is actively engaged in putting togfether a deal for him.

2. The rest of the league's GMs cannot have the sense that the Shanahans simply cannot wait to have him put his house on the market here in the DC area.[/INDENT]
Neither of these conditions will be easy to create - - but if the Skins hope to get value for McNabb, they are going to have to do it convincingly.

If you're right and the bidding for AH starts with a 6th and a contingent 6th/7th next year, I think the Skins will probably keep him. I just don't think that Mike Shanahan will give him what he wants - his outright release. The idea of AH strolling out with bags full of money and the Skins getting nothing for him, after all that's happened, probably wouldn't seem right to Shanahan.

Your thoughts on McNabb make sense to me, for the most part.

I think getting value for Haynesworth and McNabb is going to be the defining moment of Bruce Allen's career here...at least as long as Shanahan is in the picture.

And this is one of the few things I unconditionally trust our front office on: I know they will play the market correctly and get the best deal for these veterans. Problem is, of course, it's unlikely we'll be allowed to trade them before the 2011 draft.
