Obligatory "Do We Sign This Released Player?" Thread: Albert Haynesworth

Supposedly, he was just cut by the Pats.

Usually a guy sucks on the field and that's why he was released... Haynesworth just has problems off of it... I would love to bring him in. (But we won't).

Seen arguing with Pepper Johnson Sunday. RT @RapSheet: BREAKING: The Patriots have released DT Albert Haynesworth, I'm reporting. Wow.

He's talented, but he's just a turd... why would we want that here?

Usually we wouldn't, but I keep thinking how we drafted Hogan with his history so I think this regime is more likely to give guys chances.

But, as I said in the OP, I don't think we'll do it... I think it would be well worth looking into because the last year or two he was in Tennessee, there were no off-field problems and he was dominant on the field. From watching their game on Sunday, he is still a beast, I think it's just a matter of getting him settled personality wise.

    • I can't help but think that you are equating physical attributes alone with wins. I don't subscribe to that thought. No one will argue that Young has a strong arm, but he makes up for it in other ways. The real limitation for him is he needs good route runners with great hands. That's why Young was so good at the end of the 24 season. Thielen and Coker were perfect receivers for him and he had his best games with them. Not having them to start the 25 season hurt. Look at the first 10 games in 25 with a rookie receiver and no Coker and then look at the final 7 games with a more experienced rookie and Coker back and there is a telling difference in Young's performance. Prior to week 10, Young had 1 game with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and 6 games with a rating below 90. In the last 7 games with Coker back, Young had 3 games with a QB rating above 100, 2 games with a rating above 90 and only 2 games with a rating below 90. The tools a QB has to work with matter more than their arm strength.  To go back to Darnold and Stafford, yes they both have great arm strength but neither had much success with that alone. As I already pointed out, Stafford, even with a canon for an arm, only had 4 winning seasons in his first 12 years. It was only when he went to the right environment that he had true success.
    • I don't love this role for him if I'm being totally honest The pregame show is much more flash than substance and doesn't seem like the right fit for what Luke would bring to the table, and that's his vision of the game. I'd like to see him do something where it more involves him breaking down film and explaining what he's seeing out there, as he sees the game in a way very few ever have.
