Wash Times: Titans, Chiefs, Giants, Falcons, Bucs were all after Haynesworth

Posted by Stewie (aka whysoserious) Feb 28 '09, 15:07

It also took winning a bidding war with the Titans, Atlanta Falcons, Kansas City Chiefs, New York Giants and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers to land Haynesworth. Unlike his hero Reggie White, Haynesworth didn't make a round of free agent visits. He researched the teams and their cities on the Internet. So even though the Bucs had plenty of cap room and topped the Redskins' offer, they came up short.

Responses:

Atlanta offered at least the same as Washington as well. -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:24 21
- I guess he doesn't like the playoffs. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 28, 15:29 20
  - I love Haynesworth, but I'm perfectly happy seeing him sign elsewhere for that much. - David Feb 28, 15:33 19
    - I wouldn't have paid him, but it looks like the way Snyder is going to play the uncapped year the risk is only to his bank account, not the team -- nm - Stewie Feb 28, 15:40 11
      - Where does Snyder's money come from? Any risk with the downturn? -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 15:50 10
        
        The Redskins and the Cowboys are the 2 teams praying the Cap goes away - Will Hunting Feb 28, 16:26
        
        No risk at all, the season ticket waiting list is 100,000+ names and the area has a lot of expendable income - Stewie Feb 28, 15:58 5
        
        Yeah, most likely if you took worldwide values of sports teams, it'd go some combo of Skins/ManU/Cowboys. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 16:28 3
        
        + Yankees -- nm - Stewie Feb 28, 16:33 2
        
        Yeah, the new stadium will push them up to the 1.5bil range - Will Hunting Feb 28, 16:37 1
        
        Here's the #'s from this January; they're 5th worldwide - Will Hunting Feb 28, 16:38
        
        Also, the team value is double the $750 mil he paid for it in '99 -- nm - Stewie Feb 28, 15:59
        
        The Redskins and Cowboys are 1/2 in the league in revenue. Salary expense is never an issue for them. - David Feb 28, 15:52 2
        
        well, except for the whole return on investment in his players side of the equation -- nm - prayformojo Feb 28, 15:54 1
        
        Touche. -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:55
    - I just fear what this could mean for Ngata in the future. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 28, 15:37 6
      - Ngata could wind up getting $18-$20M annually if the cap goes. -- nm - David Feb 28, 16:11 1
        
        goes? like baseball? - Stewie Feb 28, 16:30
      - It means "no worries". -- nm - Reagen Feb 28, 15:38 3
        
        That's a problem-free philosophy. -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 15:41 2
        
        thanks you for walking down that path - Reagen Feb 28, 15:42 1
        
        Man, there's no one saying stop that. No one saying see here. - TFox Feb 28, 15:45
Alex Marvez of FOXSports.com reports that veteran linebacker Keith Brooking has signed a three-year deal with the Cowboys. - Stewie Feb 28, 15:11
