    So Haynesworth is a jerk for trying to sign for the most amount of money he could get? Got it. I mean, none of you guys would try to get a big contract in his position. Just because he wanted to play for the titans doesn't mean he was gonna take significantly less money.

    I remember the rumour between our offer and the Redskins was insanely small. Like 96 versus 100 million.

    Wiki says, "Tennessee’s final offer to Haynesworth reportedly amounted to a four-year package worth $34 million total, with about $20 million in guarantees." (and they cite Terry McCormick, so it's probably true)

    4-years was probably the smart play by us.

    Yeah, ultimately it's impossible to know if we won by not resigning him. If we did offer him more money and he stayed here, dude might still be in the league dominating in TN. Who knows.

    IDK man.... dude flat out quit after he got paid. I doubt it would've been much different here.

    Oh yeah I agree with you lol

    But I think Washburn probably would of shanked him in the showers if he quit here... then we'd be released of his cap hit anyway. It's a win/win.

    I remember haynesworth fake limping off the field because he was gassed. All in it for the money. No love for the game and no work ethic.

    That's because that was also a contract year.

    2007 was a contract year. He dominated and carried us to the playoffs. We tagged him.

    2008 was also a contract year, and he dominated yet again. We would've tagged him again, but I think the price would've been insane.

    Letting him walk was the right decision. I'm sure we offered him a big contract, but he chose to go for more money.
