    So... who wants to talk about something other than Chris Johnson/the coaches being awful?

    I can't really envision any scenario where Haynesworth comes back to Tennessee, but he won't have many options. Still, if he couldn't get motivated to play for a 4-3 defense (what he claimed to want all along) on a team as respected as the Patriots with a strong coach like Bill Belichick, I don't see how he can succeed anywhere.

    We would never take him back. We wouldn't even look at an above average WR for a 6th round pick when we have an awful & beat up WR core.

    Philly sounds likely. Wherever he goes, everyone will get really excited and then he'll be a non-factor. He got his money and he clearly doesn't want to put in the work needed to be elite.

    He got his money and stopped playing. He couldnt even get motivated to play for the Patriots.

    So why would anyone think he will try here or anywhere else?

    the last time haynesworth was on this team... we went 13-3 and had the nastiest defense in the league.

    What could it hurt, if he sucks we just cut him. Our pass rush is non-existent.

    i dont know if you guys remember this.. but when Haynesworth was in a traditional 4-3 like our defense... it sometimes took 3 OL to block him... which made the rest of our defense look awesome. We didn't have to blitz at all. Our D line was getting the QB
