100 mil, 30 mil guaranteed..? Damn, wouldn't mind having him but not for that kinda jack. I'm hoping he gets it elsewhere.

I wonder why the market is soft......

SOFT MARKET FOR HAYNESWORTH?

Lately, we’ve been chirping the phrase “caveat emptor” whenever discussing Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth. And it could be that some of the potential emptors are indeed, um, caveating.

According to Peter King of SI.com, there won’t be a long line of teams chasing Haynesworth come midnight on February 27.

As one unnamed coach told King, “Everybody I’ve asked this weekend says, ‘We’re out of that,’ or ‘I don’t think you’ll see us involved in Haynesworth.’”

The coach to whom King spoke also said that his team has some interest in getting Haynesworth “at the right price” — “which is about half of what Haynesworth is hoping to get.”

It’s believed that Haynesworth wants a $100 million contract, with more than $30 million of it guaranteed.

King says that the Redskins might in the end be the team that gets him, as evidenced by the fact that Redskins owner Daniel Snyder was spotted having dinner with Haynesworth’s agent, Chad Speck, in Indy.

As we’ve said a few times lately, if neither the Titans (for whom Haynesworth has played all seven NFL seasons) nor the Lions (who are now coached by Haynesworth’s former defensive coordinator) make a serious play for the guy, it’s the strongest possible message that could be delivered to any team that toys with giving him huge money.
