TT will get haynesworth

[SnakeLH2006]

Ok...lots of back and forth shit, but really how much money do we have in 2009? Anyone have a number. Do I believe Ted will inquire, well yes, as will all other 31 GM's....ass AH is a beastman based on other players/personal reports from scouts/media...haven't seen him much but he sounds like the toughest dude to block one-on-one from many reports...Could we use that, hells ya..but is EVERY other team gonna pursue him and make him possibly the highest paid NFL player in history, prob yes again.

2 Q's:

How much cap space will we have next year?
Who is the highest paid (yearly on average) NFL player currently?

There's no way we get AH, esp with Kampy, Jennings, etc. coming up with new deals...and I'd love to see it, just 0 chance it happens.

All I want to see is TT lock up Jennings, First priority. Then go for Haynesworth.

Haynesworth has a good chance of hitting the free-agent market in the offseason, because in order to get him to training camp in late July, the Titans agreed to forfeit the right to use the tag on him again after this season if he reached any one of four incentives. It’s almost a given now that he’ll reach at least one if not all four: Make the Pro Bowl, which appears to be a lock; play in 60 percent of the team’s defensive snaps, another high likelihood; play in 53 percent of the defensive snaps and have the Titans win 10 games (they’ve already won 11); or play in 53 percent of the defensive snaps and have Tennessee finish in the top five in total defense (the Titans currently rank No. 5).

Looks like he will be a free-agent.

It certainly seems like he'll hit free agency. I guess there's a chance the Titans will pony up and sigh him since they can't use the tag. There will be quite the bidding war if he hits the market.
