Why would a team trade anything for him?

Does the suspension just apply to games or is he barred from the teams facilities as well?

They won't. I we release him I don't even think anyone would claim him off waivers. He'll eventually wind up somewhere though, probably Tennessee or Detroit.

The problem is the AH took the bonus money when he should have said up front he did not want to play in a 3/4. The two side could have figured something out and parted ways and the skins could have saved money and he could have saved his reputation. Now both sides will loose.

Al is an unprofessional bum. He will never change so its better to flush this turd.

I wonder how much money they can recoup from this 4 game suspension?

In the cases of TO and Keyshawn, they were banned from the facility. One would think that the same would be true here. In fact, one would think that this is a major reason for the suspension - to remove the cancer from the situation completely.

Nope. You can only recoup the signing bonus in cases of holdout or retirement.

At least he's not gonna get a paycheck over the next month. Eff that dude.

Chances of that happening: 0.0%

He tried it in Denver with Daryl Gardener, but they settled and the terms were not released.

DT was a disappointment last year - NFL - ESPN

That the situation has devolved to this extant is really dissapointing. Maybe the Skins can recoup some money. Maybe the Skins can trade him for some value. But if any good is going to come out of it, I hope the Skins will have learned to be much more careful with cutting gargantuan paychecks. This isn't the first time a mammoth contract hasn't worked out for the Skins, though it is definitely the worst to date. Please, let the FO learn from this one.

Here's the way I see it:

Shanahan wants dedicated, hard-workers. If AH was just another regular guy, he would have been cut a while ago for his lack of dedication, a la Devin Thomas.

However, I think they held onto him because of the potential. If he does ever mature, he'll be great. So, the question is: will he mature? Brandon Lloyd did, so anything is possible.

about time this tub of lard is put in his place. Refusing to play in base D and on 1st and 2nd down? You can't let him get away with that

Yupp frustrating that Skins could have at least got a 4th rounder for him. However, if the Skins got a 4th rounder midseason, it would have pissed fans off more than suspending him now and releasing him at the end of the year.
