If he is cut, how much he would cost in the salary cap?

His talent is unquestioned. There is no guarenteed $ coming out of the Pats pockets so they can cut him if it doesn't work. BB has Floyd Resse in the front office and is close to Jim Schwartz so you know he has done all the due diligence on the attitude problems and obviously feels it is a risk worth taking. To get that for a 2013 pick unlikely to make an impact - I can't see the downside.

The upside is 2 All-pro caliber guys in Haynesworth and Wilfork pushing the pocket from the inside on passing downs.

My flabber has been well and truly gasted. My initial reaction was, "Oh no" but the more I think about it I'm now in the "Hell yeah" camp

Could the Pats be changing to more of a 4-3? I think our LBs are well suited for 4-3.

If we don't restructure, I'm pretty sure it's the full $5.4m, as his salary for this year is fully guaranteed, and the Redskins have already paid his previous pro-rated bonus money.

We could really use that 5th rounder in 2013.

Hello active player number #46 - Sub rushing monstrosity.

In the division, the QBs are less than frightening and the way to their hearts is through speed and confusion.

You ain't in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. Haynesworth better be ready to deal with guys like Wilfork, Mankins, Brady, Welker and Faulk who won't put up with any s#*t. Wait until Haynesworth gets a load of Sebastian Vollmer kicking his whining ass on the 14 days in pads.

The other thing that comes to mind is that this is money laundering at its finest. If he gets so much as a parking ticket, BB will turn around and trade Haynesworth for more draft picks to continue the youth movement.

This is a good point.....This will help the O-line going against someone the caliber of haynesworth in practice and it will help haynesworth working against mankins and our solid O-line......Maybe we could just line him up against Koppen on every play so he can get used to going up against a big bull rusher......

This is a hell of a trade for the pats as everyone else has said, high risk/high reward.....Plus I am sure he will remember what BB did to Moss last season that if you stop playing for 1 game you will be gone.....Love it....
