Miyagi-Do Karate Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I would pay him whatever he wants. Seriously. I also cannot fathom how the Titans are letting him test the market. He's going to be gone within hours of the opening of FA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

H2o Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 I would pay him whatever he wants. Seriously. I also cannot fathom how the Titans are letting him test the market. He's going to be gone within hours of the opening of FA. Just like Nate Clements was a couple of years ago. I hope I'm watching ESPN and here this, "We have breaking news coming in from the NFL at this hour. John Clayton is reporting that Albert Haynesworth, the bohemoth DT from the Tennessee Titans, has signed a FA deal with the Buffalo Bills. The terms are not yet disclosed, but he is now officially off the market. We suspect he is now the highest paid DL in the NFL. We'll give more details as we get them."

BuffaloBaumer Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 At this point, I would throw the kitchen sink at him...I don't care about his charactor issue or how much over spending would take place. Go out with a bang Ralph go out with a bang..... I would rather have one MAJOR impact player than 3 or 4 mid level signings. This guy would change our whole D next to Stroud. Grab a DE with first pick and Center with 2nd. Do whatever the hell you want with the rest of the picks........ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steely Dan Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 john clayton reporting a rumor that a deal might approach 6 years 100 mil... That's really steep for any player. One bad injury and his playing days are over and A LOT of money is left on the table. I'd love to see him here but with his character concerns that's a steep price.

Mr. WEO Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 That's really steep for any player. One bad injury and his playing days are over and A LOT of money is left on the table. I'd love to see him here but with his character concerns that's a steep price. I'd offer $100 million over 6---as long as $60 mil was loaded into the last two years! After 4 years, just tear up the contract. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OrangeJuiceSimpson Posted February 20, 2009 Author Share Posted February 20, 2009 john clayton reporting a rumor that a deal might approach 6 years 100 mil... I saw that. There is no way 100 mill is even an option for such an unmotivated player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kota Posted February 20, 2009 Share Posted February 20, 2009 Personally i wouldn't want Albert. I personally think that once he gets paid he will get lazy or not be as much as a impact player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think he'd go for that. I think $100 million with at least $40 million guaranteed. JMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JMO i doubt he gets any more than 30 mil guaranteed in the deal. longs guaranteed money last year was the most guaranteed money handed iirc. tony romo may have had more Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thoner7 Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Cap Room... Yes Need... Yes With that in mind... who was Haynesworths backup the past 2 years? Because he is who we are going to sign. The thing is we will pay him roughly the same amount as money as Albert gets from his new team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HughC Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 I read somewhere that he stated he wants six years averaging $12 million per year with $30 million guaranteed. Now I know 2010 looks like it will be uncapped, but that money is absurd for a player that only seems to perform in his contract year, and is one infraction from time lost due to either jail or a suspension.

/dev/null Posted February 21, 2009 Share Posted February 21, 2009 Well Mr. Bills Zone guy says we're the ones planning to make it happen...not a chance. I'm not sure there's enough money left in Western New York to pay his salary, unless they include it as part of the next stimulus Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy's looked dominant the last three years. He made scrub DE's like LaBoy and Vandenbosch pro-bowlers; imagine what he could do for guys like Schobel and Stroud. Is it a risk? No doubt. But the upside is turning our defense into a top-5 unit with the additon of one player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree!! at $12 Million a year, with the latest signings that have recently been signed $12 Million is starting to look like a bargain. Since Suggs and Peppers are gone, and getting Orapko Or Brown through the draft are very uncertain. Maybe there is a chance that we target Haynesworth. He would provide more pass rush, plus obviously the run game would be stout as hell. He is worth the risk in my view as well. Plus you know that he will reinvigorate the decimated fan base, and would help sell tickets. I'm just concerned that there are many teams prepared to pay him this fee. He definitely has got to be the hottest FA this year. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
