Haynesworth trade possibly in the works

I honestly feel AH really wants to go down as, The Badest M-Fer to play the game and his pride wont let him have the word "BUST" attached to his name. He is an ALPHA DOG.

I so agree with you on the unbolded statement.

The problem with the Taylor move was that it cost us draft picks - including a valuable second - without improving the team. Taylor's return to the Dolphins really isn't even worth mentioning as it relates the Skins. At that point (preseason 09) we'd already forfeited the draft picks and the only question was whether or not Jason was going to make the team better that year, which he probably wasn't. It will go down as an infamously terrible move because we walked away from the transaction one year later poorer than we would have otherwise been, having lost picks without gaining anything in return.

If Haynesworth is traded for a second round pick or whatever, we will have gained draft picks, as Synder will have essentially bought whatever pick we get for 28 million dollars or however much we've paid Al to date. Maybe you don't like this if you are Snyder's financial adviser, but as a fan I don't see how you can be anything other than happy that we are gaining a high draft choice we wouldn't have otherwise had.

Except that, most likely, the draft pick isn't going to produce like Al.

That's a different argument, whether or not we should keep AH. I tend to think we should. However, I was responding to a post comparing his signing to the Jason Taylor trade; my point is that there is no scenario in which we will not be better off as a team for having signed Haynesworth, front office profligacy notwithstanding, since we will at the very least be producing a new draft pick out of thin air (and 28 million one dollar bills).
