70% stay 30% he goes

I think the fact they've been talking on and off for months, mainly driven though his agent Chad Speck, and are really close means something will get done. They're really not that far apart. I think a 5th is all but guaranteed. Still we want a guaranteed 2nd, they're offering a 4th. I also think Allen is against making a trade, but will get overruled

Good point. I think it's safe to say the fans are the ones distracted by all this AH talk. Inside Redskins Park they don't have much time for this BS. They're getting ready for Dallas.

Which was exactly my point. The things the fans are focused on are not necessarily the same things the players are.

Thing is the media likes to create their own hype, and if it continues the media is going to bug the players about the situation constantly, so yeah the players probably don't give a damn, but the mediawhores are not going to let them forget what is going on. The whole thing takes on a life of its own. I don't think the team is going to be affected all that much if at all, and I don't think Dallas gives a damn. They can beat us with AH in the 4-3 and they can beat us with AH in the 3-4. On paper they are the superior team. The whole thing is stupid and the media is behind it trying to drum of hype for the game and to just have something to write about to justify their moronic jobs. Doing fantasy football again this year on NFL.com is fun, but it is also sort of hilarious how they have made such a production out of it. I mean how many frigging writers for fantasy football do you need?

Well except for AH since its about him. lol. Probably cause he's propetuating it but it's still hovering around him. The rest of the team is probably focusing on Dallas.

Yeah, but I don't think Dallas gives a damn. I can't fathom this being a smokescreen, as it is too big of a production, that has gone on for way too long just for the sake of one game. Dallas is probably guessing, but probably going to go in thinking AH might start just to be safe. And your Giants analogy is a bit weak compared to the AH saga. Barber and Strahan bitched about Coughlin being strict about team meetings isn't anything compared to the AH drama. Besides the Gmen were a much better team than we were anyway that season. In reality, the only one being distracted by the whole mess would likely be the Skins. Besides AH started last season and that didn't really affect Dallas then, and he was in his element in the 4-3.

We would except that we are not in the "Lets beat Dallas" thread. We are in the Fat Al thread which clearly means this discussion is appropriate.

Ya see this focus group in on Fat Al. Talk to you later in the other thread.

They could die at any moment, or if we know BA we will get the most we can.

[mbedner3420]

someone mentioned that the raiders are a possibility as well for trading Haynesworth...anybody heard anything about this? Al Davis is an idiot, but I don't think he is that dumb, then again...

Fisher at least has a rapport with him, knows his tendencies.

[GusFrerotte]

Tenn needs AH back. I am not sure Al likes to part ways so easily with draft picks like Vinny and now Bruce.

The only one to overule him would be coach correct?

Yup.

a 4th and a 5th for haynesworth would be a steal for the Titans...it would make me a bit sick...but I guess I'd get over it.

Ideally we should get what we need from Haynesworth so we can acquire VJAX....which is probably why we want a 2nd and a 5th...is that your take Smootsmack?

Honestly I think that the conditional 3rd is the best for all parties involved.

I don't think we're looking to add Jackson, but who knows
