As for being a cancer, as I recall, Haynesworth was ticked when he was franchised by the Titans and wanted a new longterm deal instead. Hardly an unusual situation and one you see pretty regularly. I don't recall any locker room problems with him. If we're going to cross off every player who's pissed about being franchised, that is going to make for a pretty long list. Further, as the rumors go, Tennessee is one of the teams interested. No one knows him better than Fisher and if Fisher wants him back, that tells me everything I need to know. However, I will agree that he is somewhat injury prone and will likely miss 2-6 games a year. I would take that tradeoff though.

He played 3 years in a row with a contract that was expiring or as a the franchise tag player, so all the years as a stud were in "contract years" so he was playing for a long term deal. He finally got it and did not play last year.
He does not go to the teams walk threw on Saturday's instead he goes to the Vols games.
Also this is directed to all the pro Albert guys, did you not read that he has a $20M bonus due in a couple years? If he is on the roster that is due. His salaries in 2011 is back in the high range.
The contract is still an issue, and if it's not I would have to think about him for a conditional pick, meaning a 2011 pick.
