I'm not seeing much in the way of a source, but I think it's interesting that this is being brought back up. Where there's smoke there's fire?

Setting aside the money talk I'd take him in a heartbeat on that line. Can you imagine the rotation we'd have? Williams, Suh, Haynes and Hill..

Kstat · June 15th, 2010, 12:17 PM

That would be an embarrassment of riches on the D-line.

Cody_Russell · June 15th, 2010, 12:21 PM

Again, no chance of happening.

Adam Schefter was right.
La Canfora was wrong.
In 2 months, I will say the same thing (Because the trade won't happen).
The only (big name) players that might be added on the Lions roster in the next 2 months are Bullock or Atogwe.

Frank Van Dusen · June 15th, 2010, 12:36 PM

Given the current roster and the amount of money he would want, I think that resources could be better allocated than on Haynesworth.

Adamantine · June 15th, 2010, 12:39 PM

Haynesworth isn't worth much now that he got paid and decided to become lazy.

DetroitDad08 · June 15th, 2010, 12:51 PM

The only way he'd be a powerhouse, is if it was a contract year!

I can see where Haynsworth would want to reunite with Schwartz but I can not see the Lions trading for Haynsworth unless he does a sign and trade.

We trade for him we would only be paying like 12 mill over the next three years.

jaadam4 · June 15th, 2010, 02:08 PM

lol.. man is he making that much money!!! The skins will have to eat some of it.

I would think Schwartz knows him quite well - perhaps if he sits long enough and Washington gets desperate enough to move him it might be worth it. Haynesworth's work ethic and motivation has been questioned. We certainly don't need another Shaun Rogers on this roster...

DetroitDad08 · June 15th, 2010, 02:15 PM

Agreed, although when "Big Baby" did come to play, guy was monster, I'll never forget when his fat ass scored that TD and went and immediately got him some oxygen! Good times!

Coop · June 15th, 2010, 02:17 PM

I was AT that game DD08. They were 6-2 having pounded the Broncos 44-7 I think and looking to play Arizona (AT Arizona that next week) And it was after that game that Big Baby quit. Last meaningful game they won that year.

DetroitDad08 · June 15th, 2010, 02:19 PM

It was a bright spot and I was thrilled. What year was it. Was that when the last game of the season we beat the Cowgirls? and then didn't win again untill last year?

Niffla · June 15th, 2010, 02:29 PM

Haynesworth, prior to last season was perhaps regarded as the most dominant DT in the National Football League. If you can make it happen you have to certainly think long and hard about it.

I mean this is the Lions we're talking about. Being able to acquire players of his caliber doesn't happen everyday for this franchise.

jaadam4 · June 15th, 2010, 02:37 PM

Somewhere Big Baby is trying to board a plane with a handgun in his carry on...

jaadam4 · June 15th, 2010, 02:37 PM

he was bada$$ tho.. i felt bad we could never surround him with any talent. It was a waste

chemiclord · June 15th, 2010, 02:49 PM

The money the Lions would pay Haynesworth is fairly insignificant. The vast majority of his funds came in the signing bonus the Lions wouldn't be on the hook for.

That said, I haven't heard anything about the Lions serious pursuing Haynesworth... what exactly could the Lions give the Skins that they would be interested in? Remember... the Skins are trying to win now. They probably won't be interested in draft picks or what would amount to bench players.

Chuck Cunningham · June 15th, 2010, 02:55 PM

Lets put it this way, its not worth giving up anything more than a 3rd for him.

I'd send them Ford Sr. for Albert.
