Fences to Mend?

Hard to imagine someone else wanting Haynesworth with that contract he's under.

I don't get all of the AH and Landry hate. Neither of them has said a word about the RUMOR that they were offered as trade bait.
So did someone from the Eagles or Redskins confirm they were offered or is it some moron reporter trying to get on TV? Just wondering if this is based on fact or rumor?

Dick Vermeil would beg to differ

why? we've already paid him 40 of the 42M he's garaunteed. he's very affordable (relatively speaking) for the next 3 years.

All I can say is it speaks VOLUMES on the way they feel about Haynesworth if they attempted to trade him only one year after signing him.

-OR- the more likely scenario>>>>>>>

Hey, it is a non-cap season and a perfect time to shed away lots of lingering dollars. Maybe the decision was purely financial?

Trade Landry for a grilled cheese, Haynesworth for a glazed ham, and CP for a pack of Kools.

I laughed out loud when I read the last part of this post, good stuff. I agree with you, Haynesworth has basically stolen $$ from us and for him not to participate in our training program is a slap in Shanny's face. I love this guys hard nose approach that no one is untouchable. If we could get some picks out of Portis, JC and Landry, I say pull the trigger. It would be even better if we could drop AH's fat ass, but that is unlikely.

His numbers the next 3 years are $8.8M, $10.6M, $12.4M.

Not sure I'd call him very affordable. Those are big chunks to go along with a guy that doesn't have the best reputation and tends to get banged up.

I don't know. AH and the HC appeared to agree to dissagree on work out regimin. If AH wants to be with the team he'd be here working out. Instead he's taking his work ethic elsewhere which pissed off the HC.

No harm in sending the love right back at AH. Right? Piss him off maybe he'll work harder. Especially knowing the Eagles wanted no parts of him. It would atleast make me want to tear them apart next year to say see what you didn't want.

i think those numbers accurately reflect Haynesworth's value in the NFL. If anything, i'd say his 2010 and 2011 numbers are a little light for one of the leagues top pass-rushers.

I honestly feel that this is being blown WAYYYY out of proportion. I mean when Shawn Springs disappeared during voluntary workouts, the team couldn't even reach him by phone. I'm not saying that the Shanny and AH are pals, but it's not the drama that the media is creating.

I agree.

AH was on the table simply because he's one of our most valuable chips to bargain with, not because Shanahan is holding a silly grudge over offseason workouts.

They were. But to be clear it was NOT Landry and Haynesworth for McNabb

It's called, I'm a whacked-out whore on drugs. Or maybe that was Amy Wino's new one?
