He has a point about TMZ and PFT.

You've gotta be naive (or a gossip-seeking woman) to believe those sites.




We don't need Bradford either!




In other news, seems like Haynesworth may go for only a 3rd-rounder. I hope he has to pay some of his guaranteed money back or we'll be losing a ton.

Albert Haynesworth

The Titans have been in discussions with the Redskins about Albert Haynesworth "leading up to" the draft.
The report is from the Nashville Tennessean, though it was tucked matter-of-factly into a Haynesworth blog post. Beat writer Jim Wyatt believes the chances of a Haynesworth trade are increasing, and Tuesday's Adam Carriker acquisition could be the impetus the Redskins need to pull the trigger. The Titans don't seem likely to overpay, so a third-rounder could be enough to get it done.

Pure opinion from his former city's paper.. I mean who knows if it could happen, but if it was going to I'm sure that we could've gotten a 3rd from somebody already

Not sure why you knock PFT all the time and at the same time look at rotoworld.com as gospel

its not like PFT just made this up. pretty much every media outlet has said the skins are talking to the titans about Haynesworth. why are you just criticizing PFT and not all of the rest?

when you look at ALOT of the reports, they stem from PFT or JLC, both of whom, as has been discussed a ton, are notorious in the way the present the information. It's a simple media spin cycle, and the reality gets washed out of the picture.

Matty summed it up very well in the other thread.

I don't like Cerrato but this is the type of inside info I'd love to hear. He needs to write a book. I mean if he wants to make decent money I'm sure many of us would pick up the book to learn why certain picks were picked and why others were ignored. Maybe even some inside info on how certain players are or acted while with the Skins.

The last link in the AH/PFT story is also funny:

A year ago, then-Cardinals receiver Anquan Boldin was the subject of trade talks with the Titans. The deal never materialized because the Cardinals didn’t want to give Boldin away for cheap. He was traded to the Ravens this offseason instead.

Before that, the Titans entertained the idea of trading for then-Chargers running back Michael Turner. They also had trade talks in the past about former Lions and Raiders receiver Mike Williams, who eventually joined the Titans after the Raiders released him.

Basically the Titans want to talk to every named player but rarely are willing to pay for them. What could they offer us in return for AH? They say they won't give the 1st rd pick(#16), they don't have a 2nd either, so it would be the 3rd round pick. If Shanahan/Allen did that deal that would be pure unadulterated boneheadedness. But the Titans will talk like they want him, because at that price, they do.

The AH stuff just reeks of Media driven speculation, one article quoting another ad infinitum. Schefter on Sirius today said he had 2 different Redskins source again state that AH isn't going anywhere. He acknowledged that they could be putting up a smoke screen, BUT he didn't think they were.

Either way, the time is getting short and we will all know soon.

I'm not sure that it's media speculation anymore but with a lowball organization like Tennessee I doubt anything happens unless they start coughing up picks for next year. Personally I'm inclined to believe Schefter but it seems logical to me that they won't hesitate to move him.

I would be shocked....shocked.....if Haynesworth isn't dealt by friday. Past the point of no return in my mind, and I think ShanAllen will hope for a 2nd, but will take a 3rd round pick for him and move ahead.

3rd rounders barely take the field around here. I just don't see it.

The rumor is that Faneca, with a large salary, will get cut after the draft. We may be able to get him for free (i.e., no trade).
