ESPN: Albert Haynesworth Headed To Seattle Seahawks
AUTHOR: Andrew Auger | IN: Seahawks | COMMENTS: 2 Comments

If you visit the NFL page on ESPN, the headline is there:
“Haynesworth Headed To Seahawks”
Plenty of speculation has centered around the Seahawks being a suitor for the disgruntled defensive tackle.
There are no sources confirming a deal is in place, just a headline, calling it how I see it.
The LenDale White release all started with a headline and no sufficient evidence to immediately support it. Something could be updated within the hour just like it was then; insider is generally diligent in updating the news wire.
If this deal does indeed go down, it means they are likely out of the running for Bills running back Marshawn Lynch if there was even a chance they could get him in the first place.
Regardless of your opinion on how Haynesworth has whined about playing nose tackle in a 3-4 after being payed $30 million for a season; he is still a game changing top five defensive tackle who would come to the Seahawks with a ridiculously reasonable $5.3 million salary over the next three seasons.
If he dons the blue and green next year, be content, embrace it, and say hello to the best player on the Seahawks roster.

The best player! What, have you been smoking crack?

[tryfuhl]

Who else would be Remember?

[RememberRFK]

I can only tell you who would have the worst attitude, be the most disruptive in the locker room and play the least amount of downs and games.

[MTK]

I don't care where he goes just get his ass outta here asap

[KI Skins Fan]

Seattle would be great because that's just about as far away as they could send him.

[Longtimefan]

It's going to be good for everyone concerned when this distraction reaches it's final conclusion. This whole Haynesworth ordeal has done so much damage to what otherwise has been an off-season of optimism and hope. Whatever the decision on Haynesworth, as long as it includes him gone I'll be satisfied with.

[The Goat]

Hopefully the compensation will more than nominal. AH is worthy of a couple 1st rd picks...we won't get that sadly but i'm hoping for a 1st.

[tryfuhl]

maybe an "Oakland first" aka 2 years out

[mooby]

Here's hoping we can fleece the Seahawks out of something nice for him. I can't remember the last time we were involved in a trade and somebody said we made out like bandits. Pete Carroll is an idiot too so a guy can hope.

[GusFrerotte]

This is too funny!!!!!!! Some folks thought he was going to stick it out and now his ass is going to Seattle. I hope the Goat is right, that we get a first rounder for him, but the truth is we probably won't get that. THe guy's pricetag is very steep, so we might have to settle with a second rounder or two. This will teach Snyder a lesson on how big an idiot he is.

I'm guessing any pick we get would be conditional on lardass actually producing somewhere else.

As we didn't actually give up any picks to get him, anything we get in return would be a bonus.

I still will always love Haynesworth for standing up with Hall against the Falcons and Giants. I was really impressed by that.

I have to admit I did like that. I remember seeing all the Falcon players swarming D-Hall and then Haynesworth comes in and suddenly everyone is moving back.
