Haynesworth is Behaving Selfishly

i love that trade, as it would screw all parties involved equally:

1. It would screw the Redskins because we would be giving up one of the best defensive players in the league for a 3rd round pick, likely near the bottom of the third round, in a very weak 2011 draft class. To top it off, if we continue rebuilding our front office, we'll likely have mostly new scouting and personnel departments next year, further minimizing the likelihood that whomever we select at the pick will ever amount to even being a serviceable backup.

2. It would screw Haynesworth because we'd be trading him to a 3-4 team, and one where he'd likely be benched when he ultimately acted up.

3. It would screw the Patriots because they'd be giving up a pick likely to yield them a starter (far superior coaching staff and personnel department) for a disgruntled player who didnt want to be there and would miss 50% of plays due to being tired or "injured. And the other 50% of the time he'd be giving a half-hearted effort... because, again, he didnt want to be there.

All in all, i think this is one of the best Haynesworth trade ideas i've heard to date. (And Yes, for the record, I do know you were being sarcastic. I just figured i would take it up a notch.)
