BUT, I wouldn't give him away or cut him simply to rid the team of a malcontent. He was paid $32 mill to do a job for which he CHOSE not to do. For that reason alone I'd make his life miserable, suit him up every Sun., and sit him on the bench to watch the game. He would have a few options, sit on the bench and stew all year long listening to fans ridicule him from othe sidelines, or he can decide to play ball and request to get more playing time in the 3-4 defense he hates soo much, or he can pay back a large portion if not the whole portion and request a trade.

Philly is the worst-case scenario of AH directly affecting our wins and losses. With Casey Rabach as the center, AH is rather capable of screwing us. But then again, they swept us last year easy-peasy without him...

Letting him stew on the bench makes it harder to trade him. Thus, more likely than not, we'll eventually have to make a choice between letting him go for cheap or for free if we choose that route. Teams are going to say "it's too risky for us to pay for a volatile player like him, lower the price or no deal". Major character flaws, needs "babying", and even when "motivated", he's prone to embellishing injuries to take plays off. If someone actually does pay the 2nd rounder, I'll be happy as anyone, but I'm certainly NOT counting on that happening, especially with what he's done.
AH is like a junk bond. You're going to say "wow, look his potential return", but once that bond issuer defaults and can't pay you anything, you're going to say "$#@!"

Actually, for someone as capable of Haynesworth, I'm surprised no rumors of teams offering a 1st for him ever surfaced. Goes to show how teams view him. They're scared to take him for too much due to fear of the "lemon" Haynesworth.
