    I don't see it happening.

    About $8M a year is what the market value is for albert. He doesn't like the franchise tender because he wants a heavy SB. If he is seeking a contract similar to what clements or samuel got he is not going to get it.

    His agent might think that because he was one of the 5 most valuable defensive players last year he shoud make $10M a year and of that is the case we are too far apart.

    We just signed roos to a $7M a year deal so it isn't like we are not trying and i'm sure we offer at least that much to haynesworth..

    #92 of the past.

    With all the complaints about him he still was a damn good player and a valuable asset in the middle of our defense. Roughly the 10th-12th best DT in a year when he typically would miss about 3 games from injury.

    Some players who are certainly no better than he has been have gotten $6M a year type deals. Given what he did last year he can demand more.

    2 years ago john henderson signed a 6 year $34M deal. I don't see how albert can justify getting more than $10M above that. That's a 25% bump..
