Titans and Haynesworth Fail to Reach Long-term Deal

Three: We franchise him again next year.

Unless I'm wrong, we didn't agree to any clause that says we can't do that.

 

To get Albert to sign, we may still have to agree to that. So far he hasn't signed anything yet.

 

Seems to me like a win for the Titans honestly. Albert seems to gain very little. We'll see how this plays out. If he has another good season the Titans will poney up. If he doesn't, we can afford to let him go, or sign him cheaper than expected. If he has a great season and we cannot afford him, then it is probably a good financial decision to let him go at that kind of cost. He's already highest paid. I really don't want to lose one of our best players, but I do not feel he is irreplaceable either if he wants too much money.

 

Bummer.....I saw it coming though.

Big Al doesn't get signed long-term comes in lights it up this year and goes off and signs a huge contract with someone else.

Antonio Johnson better be as good as he's being hyped because he's going to be the one to replace him.

Finny and Bironas should be the next to get signed.

 

Too bad we couldn't sign him. History shows from our own and other teams experience that Big Al will be long gone after next season. Reinfeldt hasn't shown me anything that would lead me to believe he would negotiate much for this guy. I am guessing if the Titans don't already know that whether they like it or not without this tub of lard in the middle of their D-they are screwed longterm on D, then they never will. I mean let's say he has ANOTHER huge season I would wage that motivation won't be to show theTitans front office how valuable he is but to show the likely teams interested in him come next years offseason. We had our chance now we will have to dedicate a first rounder next year to a DT oh **** wait a minute that was saved for the huge hole in CB position;}

 

Good I'm glad they didn't sign him...we could use the money on a player who will actually do something

 

Who will actually do something? Haynesworth was arguably the most disruptive, effective player on our team last season. Who in the world would you rather use the money on?

 

In the league.

 

The main focus needs to be bironas and finny and i'm already thinking of life without albert. If we can franchise him again next year who really cares? We got him for 2 more years anyway and that gives us time to draft and develop a couple of players at that position. Let's see what jones has got and this johnson kid. We can likely sign bironas and finny both for less than what it costs to sign albert.

I knew we had no chance after harris signed that $10M deal. Haynesworth is not worth $10M, no player on this team is worth that right now..
