More Haynesworth Drama? Big Al Sounds Off After Ravens Game

[SFREDSKIN]

"He's ruined it for everyone after him," a high-profile player told me over the weekend, echoing a sentiment I've heard throughout training camps.

I guess that's one good thing to come out of this, salaries are getting out of control especially for rookies.

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.

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)

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.

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.

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

Keep hearing TB is a good spot for AH but not for Clayton

More details on a possible Haynesworth-Tampa trade

Haynesworth trade buzz

Albert Haynesworth | Redskins | Interested: Buccaneers?

While the Albert Haynesworth-Mike Shanahan feud continues to percolate, a bold new idea has come to the forefront from the AM airwaves.

Specifically, veteran Tampa Bay Buccaneers beat writer Roy Cummings said on the Miller and Moulton Show on 770 AM in Fort Myers, Fla. (hat-tip to Joe Bucs Fan) that the Bucs could make a play for No. 92. Even more noteworthy is that Michael Clayton -- rumored to be on his way out anyways -- could be involved in this trade, owing to the fact that the Washington Redskins have a need at WR, and Clayton was drafted by current 'Skins GM Bruce Allen.

The hosts opened the conversation on Haynesworth with a disclosure that he wanted to play defensive end for a team that uses a four-man front, a fact that has seemingly evaded us to this point, since we've only heard that Haynesworth wants to play DT in such a setup. The need at DE is much stronger for the Bucs, who used their top two draft picks on DTs this April. Even so, Haynesworth provides an upgrade for most teams at DT, Tampa Bay included, and the Bucs were amongst those rumored to be interested prior to his signing with the Redskins last offseason.

All that said, we're not sure the Redskins are so willing to give up on Haynesworth just yet -- or give in to his demands, as the case may be -- so this one has to be considered unlikely for now.

Ok, so the AH topic is worn down and out, but for a new spin, after Cerrato was on Sirius defending the signing, Rich Campbell just tweeted:

Sherman Smith: "Do I think Albert is a bad guy? Absolutely not. Do I think [he] can be disruptive? Yes." 3 minutes ago via TweetDeck

# Rich Campbell

I spoke to Sherman Smith this afternoon about Cerrato's radio comments. He said he told the Redskins about Albert: "Buyer beware." ... 4 minutes ago via TweetDeck

[SmootSmack]

Sherman Smith had pretty much nothing but good things to say about Haynesworth when the Skins were looking to pursue him. Maybe he did say "buyer beware" but he also said Al was a completely changed man after the Gurode incident and he (Smith) never had any problems with him (Haynesworth)

[Ruhskins]

So unless AH opens his big trap, isn't this situation mum for now?

Fletch talked to AH and says things are ok. MS talked to AH and well didn't say anything, but isn't AH back and practicing?

AH just needs to stay away from reporters for this to either go away or getting him in good graces to get traded.
