Trade for Haynesworth?

[cland]

For those that don't know, Albert Hayenesworth is on the market? And after having been paid 32 of the 40 million dollar guaranteed money that he signed for, he's actually quite affordable (see below link.)

On top of that the current trade (as rumored) is either a 2nd or 3rd round pick.

I have to say, that while there is definitely risk in getting a guy with some major character issues, if we can get some Titans 2008 performance out of this guy for such a low cost, I'm hard pressed not to give it a shot. He's only 28, and should represent a huge upgrade over Sean Cody.

Kubiak has said he wants our D to be physical and nasty. Well...here's a shot to get one of the most physical and nastiest players in the game. The titans want him back, but don't have a second round pick to make that happen. I also think we can get a pretty good read on him, given our relationship with Shanahan. Assuming nothing crazy comes up, I'm all for sending #51 to the Redskins.

How about you?

Definitely. For a team looking to go to the playoffs with a void in the middle of the line. Second or thrid, I don't know... Possibly a second depending on how the first round shook out. You're just not going to get that type of immediate impact that this team needs in a second rounder... let alone a third.

Hail, no!

Costs too damn much and had his peak 2-3 years ago. He'll just get injured and spend half the year or the IR.

[Bigtinylittle]

Hayull no.

For those of you that are saying no... I'd love to hear some explanations as to why you wouldn't give up an Antwan Molden or some other possible role player for the best defensive lineman in the NFL.

From the article the remaining salary would be "$16.2 million over the next three years, with only $9 million guaranteed." That's pretty darned reasonable for a guy that had 1 off year where he only got 4 sacks, and was asked to read-and-react in the Washington scheme. (I think we all know how that style of defense works out.)

The more I consider what the Texans' line could look like, the more I'm in support of the trade.

Rushing Downs:

Smith Haynesworth Okoye Williams
Smith Cody Haynesworth Williams (In case Okoye doesn't show up this year)

Passing Downs:
Barwin Smith Haynesworth Williams
Smith Haynesworth Okoye Williams (if Okoye does show up)

You can't tell me the other teams OC wouldn't be a bit nervous with a Healthy Haynesworth and Williams lining up right next to each other. Bring Cushing off the other side occasionally and that could bring a world of hurt, if our run D gets the other team into 2nd or 3rd and long.

To be fair... they went on to say that in actuality it is closer to 52 million with 20 guaranteed left on the deal. While the next three are reasonable it seems that there after that contract would be pretty awful. I'm not sure what kind of implecations that would have for the 2013 season and going forward, or if there could be anything done with that though.
