’nuff said.

I’d do this in a heartbeat. How expensive can he be? We could line Larry, Curly and Moe behind him at LB and still be good.

The Titans were considering offering 12 million per season. Ouch.

Does going to an uncapped year give us any advantage? If we can sign him to a deal that has a cap hit we can fit into this year’s cap, and then blow open the bank after this year, having Allen’s money could help. I could also be totally misunderstanding the implications of not having a cap after this year.

as he was a total non-factor up until having two huge contract years.

There’s a chance he could revert to mediocre sloth again after getting paid.

This is about three things:

1. Does AH ever see the light of free agent day? (If so, why?)

2. Does Ruskell look to make a Haynesworth level splash this off-season? (I actually don’t think the face-stepping incident would turn Ruskell away for certain.)

3. Why would AH come here when he would have his pick of suitors (a la Reggie White)?

but adding age next to the birthday or height/weight would be pretty useful. Instantly knowing whether a player is 27 or 32 is just as important as their other physical stats.

…in football today. This guy is the closest thing you’ll see to Joe Greene, the updated version. I became convinced of this when I wrote about his performance against the Vikings this season:

We saw just how dangerous Haynesworth is, and how much his opponents respect his formidable skills, on Minnesota’s final two drives of the day. With 3:55 left in the game and the Vikings at their own 10, right defensive tackle Tony Brown shot through and gave Gus Frerotte a huge hit just as he released the ball. This led to a Nick Harper interception, and Frerotte was out of the game. I wondered how Brown got to Frerotte so easily until I replayed the action and discovered that the Vikings were triple-teaming Haynesworth with Hutchinson, Birk, and right guard Anthony Herrera.

If you wanted to make a compelling argument that you are the best defensive tackle in the game, you could start with this line: “I was triple-teamed by Steve Hutchinson and two other guys.” Try and find someone else who can say that about themselves. Harper returned the interception to the Minnesota 6, and rookie sensation Chris Johnson scored on the next play. Now, the Vikings had to try and erase a 13-point deficit with 3:32 left in the game, and Tarvaris Jackson facing the Tennessee defense. Not the most attractive of options.

He is the one free agent signing that could put me 100 percent back on the rickety Ruskell bandwagon. This isnt just a mauler — he’s a potential game-changer on every single defensive snap for his team. You get about as many Albert Haynesworths as you get Steve Hutchinsons.

Because every team would be better with him on it. Just like if Asomugha hit free agency . almost every nfl team has cap space. Sure we have a poor chance at getting him because we probably have 31 competitors. Still…we can dream.

Add me to the chorus of people who’d love to see Haynesworth in a Seahawks uniform but doubts it will actually happen. The Seahawks might have the cap space, but there are other teams with more. Seattle could be a Superbowl contender next year but they enter the season with alot of question marks; there are definitely quite a few teams that seem like better bets for a guy looking for a ring. He doesn’t seem to have any ties to the area or any of the Seahawks other players or coaches. At least it’s safe to say that Paul Allen is still rich. Overall, some hope but the odds don’t seem good.

but the logic seems exactly the opposite of the platoon the LBs post.

Now, why does it make sense to get plenty of first line talent on the Dline (paying up the ass for it btw), so platooning isn’t necessary; but settle for only two LBs who can do the full job and platoon the third position because you don’t have a guy talented enough do the whole job?

At least Albert is being honest in that regards!

On the surface I’m 100% in favor of lobbing a fat wad of cash at AH. He and Bang Bang would be freaking dominant.

There are some concerns though. First and foremost he hasn;t played all 16 games since his rookie year. Second: Will he be a guy that gets his cash and then gets lazy, never to acheive that high level of pay.

Third: Are we forgetting about Red Bryant when we talk DT?

I still don’t think he should be in the league after the face stomp
