Not gonna happen. Haynesworth and Suggs are going to command top dollar and, based on my review of our cap situation, we will not be able to afford to sign two guys of that caliber. Besides, I don't think the Ravens and Titans will let those guys go. As for trading Betts, we wouldn't get more than a 5th round or, at best, a 4th rounder for him. Finally, I'm not sure Hall will re-sign with us. He wants to play for a winning team and, right now, we look like one of the worst teams in the league. Unless Hall really wants to play for the team he grew up rooting for, I think there's a decent chance he'll leave in the offseason.
