Haynesworth in the division?

[Mr. Scot]

Per news reports, maybe as a Buc, but not as a Falcon.

Observer: Panthers won't face Haynesworth as a Falcon

PFT: Bucs to chase Haynesworth

And of course, there's the question of whether or not we'll try for him ourselves.

[Sloth]

I'll worry about him in contract years.

[joemac]

I think that we will make a push for him once Peppers is gone. If we dont do something, we might have the worst defensive line in the league.

[mountainpantherfan]

I only see the Panthers going after him if Peppers is traded really quickly and if the team feels that Lewis may be out for the season. Otherwise there would is no chance of him coming to Carolina.

[Murph]

There is no way we can get a high profile unrestricted free agent signed unless we know Peppers will not be on the payroll.

[Mr. Scot]

Yasinskas has his take (link)

Also says that CB Dominique Foxworth plans to test free agency.

There is no way we can get a high profile unrestricted free agent signed unless we know Peppers will not be on the payroll.

I agree, even if Hanynesworth wants to be here, we have to dump Peppers salary quickly with a trade or rescinding the tag or signing him to a deal. One of those has to happen before the 28th I'd say to have a shot at Haynesworth.

[blpanther]

The Falcons don't need anyone with character issues on their team right now. I doubt Blank has forgotten about the PR nightmare that he faced last year.

[Highlandfire]

Haynesworth will not be a panther. Too many teams out there with way more cap room than us. He will sign within the first 72 hours of freeagency guaranteed. Hell I bet he doesn't make it out of whatever city he lands first in.

[Highlandfire]

I'll worry about him in contract years.

I am almost completely in agreement. He is a stud but agreed it was his contract year this year that he really showed up.

[Mr. Scot]

Yasinskas thinks the only way he lands in the South is as a Buc (link)

Related Note: I wouldn't mind seeing Jovan Haye back.

[Snake]

I think whoever gets him will over pay.

I know we don't have the cap with peppers tied up, but Yas has been wrong about our cap situation the whole time. It seems he keeps forgetting about that 8 million we freed up with the roster bonus to Gamble. That or he doesn't know about it.

Now I know it's not going to happen because of the character issues, But if we drop peppers quick enough (I don't think will happen) we would have a shot at Haynesworth.

I agree though I wouldn't mind adding Hayes to our rotation.

[Snake]

Im not big on Top Free agent signings. We have been burned in the past by them and I think building from the draft this year is a must.
