    Hate to say this, but we were all pissed when Albert Haynesworth left us for the Redskins. In the outside i acted like i didn't care because of the huge contract he was demanding, but in the inside it made me jealous that someone now has our prized possession.
    At the beginning of the season the jealousy started to fade fast. Last night i was looking at the NFL sack leaders and saw that Andre Carter (of all people) and rookie Brian Orakpo are 4th and 5th in the NFL with 11 sacks each.
    So as much as we like to hate on Albert these days, it just goes to show how much he means to a team even if HE doesn't have the stats..
    Can we say Terrance Cody :greedy:

    Well I happen to think Albert Peaked when he was with the Titans and to pay what he wanted was ridiculous because even though he is a game changer on defense, he only played half the snaps, never more than 13 games in a season, didn't have a great attitude, and I think the best days of his career are behind him. Just my 2 cents. In hindsight, I think what the Titans offered him was fair for a player like him and the media hyped him up to be a $100,000,000.00 man. Do i blame him for taking that kinda money else where, hell no, but was he worth it? Ask a Redskins fan :p

    On a good note we'll get some comp picks.

    We lost Chris Simms, Brandon Jones, Roydell Williams, Daniel Loper, Albert Haynesworth, Ryan Fowler, Chris Carr, and Eric King.

    Since you can only get a max of 4 comp picks I see us getting all four.

    Haynesworth till get us a 4th.
    Brandon Jones will get us a 5th.
    Chris Carr will get us a 7th.
    King/Loper will get us a 7th.

    Haynesworth should be worth a third which will likely be the best (and probably only) compensatory pick we get.

    I can say AH missed half this season so far. I don't think he played sunday either (the day orakpo got 4 sacks)

    We went 0-6 because of Haynesworths' absence (logically plausible). I hate thinking without Albert leaving for the money Vince still isn't in, but when we lost 92 we got back 10. It's bad for Kerry that the defense couldn't pickup where they left off last season, but how could they? New coordinator, new D-line rotation, and no secondary turned Collins' back into everything he wasn't in 08. Who knows how things would have played out with Al still in Tennessee this season. We could be a 12, 13 win team, or we could have blown near $100 million. Either way I like where this team is heading in the near future. Playoffs or not, this season was one I'll never forget.

    yeah he didn't play last sunday when Carter got 2 sacks and Orakpo got 4 sacks...but he's still had a big impact when he has played. I can only wonder how many sacks they could have gotten if he was playing.
    Is he worth 100mil??? But I don't think anyone is worth that much.

    I totally agree on this. I ain't mad at him for going where the money was, but I still don't feel he's worth is. Not a player in the league is worth that kind of bread.

    Ok maybe Donnie Nickey.

    How many games has Fat Albert played this year? Not only that, but I find it funny that you assume the sacks those guys are getting when Albert Does play are directly attributed to him.


    All I know is, Albert is not worth 100 mil....He's not even worth half that.

    I would give C.J. a 7 year 100 million dollar contract today if I could!
