Has he even been playing. I can't recall the last time I saw him on the field?

 

Haynesworth played Sunday against the Giants. He did absolutely nothing from what I saw.

it's about saving money....

 

When Haynesworth joined the Patriots, he took a pay cut in base salary from $5.4 million to $1.5 million. He had the chance to make that money back in playing time incentives.

 

He won’t make any of the money back now.

 

Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports reported in August that Haynesworth would have received a $1 million bonus if he played in 20% of the team’s snaps for the year. Almost $3 million more was available if he reached playing time incentives beyond that.

 

None of that money should be paid to Haynesworth. Using snap counts from ESPNBoston.com’s Mike Reiss, Haynesworth has played roughly 30% of the team’s snaps during the first nine games. Cutting Haynesworth now should allow the Patriots to avoid any further payment because that percentage should dip below 20% by year’s end.

The one play i remember he Looked like his former self. Had a guard draped over him while he stayed upright and pressured Eli up the middle. I thought he was finally coming around.

I know what most are thinking.

 

Too expensive. Locker room problem, possible bad back etc.

 

But with the possibility of K Williams going to IR, Kelsay nursing an injury and a possibly pivotal rematch against the Pats in week 17 this has to be worth some discussion. If nothing else he'll add some insight to the Pats (offense) as we all know their entire defense isn't solid, and he'll have an ax to grind against them.

 

Sure he wasn't crazy about playing in a 3/4 in Washington, but how often have the Bills been a true 3/4?
