Comments on Detroit Lions' interest in Albert Hayneswort - 04-08-2010

Maybe I missed it but where does it say anything about trading AC and Al for the #2?

^ I admittedly threw in AC to make the trade more plausible in my eyes but the initial conversation is there.

Here is the full text:

ALLEN PARK - If it seems too good to be true, it's because it is.

The Washington Redskins are interested in trading defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth and the Detroit Lions are interested in acquiring a big playmaking defensive tackle. Haynesworth has not only played in the head coach Jim Schwartz's defensive system before, he's played for Schwartz himself.

Also, Haynesworth's contract -- $16 million over the next three years - would fit into the Lions' budget. He'd come at more than a 50 percent bargain over Ndamudong Suh (if the Lions were to draft him with the second overall pick).

There's just one minor little catch. Well, if you consider $21 million to be minor.

That's the amount of money the Redskins paid Haynesworth last week as part of a bonus that was connected to the $100 million free agent contract he signed last year. If the Redskins are willing to simply eat the $21 million and dump Haynesworth, the path is cleared for a trade to Detroit - or elsewhere.

A league source, however, said the Redskins want that money back, or at least a big chunk of it. Right now, the Redskins have paid Haynesworth a total of $32 million of the $41 million in guaranteed money. That's a lot of cash for just one year - even by the standards of Washington owner Daniel Snyder.

There are only two ways the Redskins can get their hands on that money. One, Haynesworth can give it back - which is possible, but doesn't appear very likely. Two, the team that trades for Haynesworth can pay a portion of that bonus back to Washington - a more likely scenario. The problem is the ''portion.'' (To circumvent accounting rules, Haynesworth would have to give some of his money back to Washington and then get paid by his new team.)

The Lions didn't have any interest in Haynesworth in free agency because they knew he'd be far too expensive. At some point, that scenario will repeat itself if the "portion'' is too large.

The other issue is that Haynesworth made it clear he wasn't interested in going to Detroit as a free agent. Would he more open to joining the Lions now? General manager Martin Mayhew isn't going to pony up millions of dollars upfront for a player who doesn't want to be here and won't take part in off-season workouts - as Haynesworth is doing (or not doing) now in Washington.

This whole article is a typical NFL off-season hot air piece. There is not one point which makes a substantial hint that this trade ever was or would be discussed. Was it? I don't know, but this article can't even be added as a rumor, because nowhere in it does it even imply that Washington and Detroit have had basic talks. The closest line is Washington has Al, and Detroit wants someone like Al. It then goes on and says Al didn't want to be there, Detroit didn't want him there, and maybe still doesn't want him there, and Washington doesn't want to let him go unless they get their money back. Where is even a hint that this would happen?

I don't want the Giants to get Spiller or McLain. Can we do something to get them to take Tebow instead?

Now that's what I'm talking about or trade down with the 4th and get another pick in addition. I would tale Jason Pierre-Paul if all we got was a 2nd rounder for Fat Albert.

Check this out.

I would be much more fearful of McClain. I think the fear around Spiller stems from the idea that he'll be as good as Chris Johnson. I on the other hand see him as a slightly better Reggie Bush where the team will have to go out of it's way to put the ball in his hands. Still had we kept our second round pick and the draft went the way his mock did then we would have been in trouble. I think the only lineman selected in the second round were Guards.
