Haynesworth to Patriots.

[RiverFish]

Good idea or bad idea for the Pats to pick up Haynesworth?

I think it is a good idea, Belichik will work with him and get good results out of him.

a Moss-like steal of a trade

if he doesn't work out, they only lost a 5th round pick, they probably have a whole stack of those lying around the office anyways

It has pretty much gotten to the point where any move they make is a good move. If anyone can change his attitude it's Belichik, Brady & Co. And if they can succeed in that the guy is a beast.

Belichek is the master at bringing in guys with a chip on their shoulder and something to prove.

While other front offices and teams run away from these players, he brings them in and gives them a chance to redeem themselves.

Like the other posts said...if they don't work out they're shown the door and the Pats lose very little.

Little risk and a potentially huge reward...hard to argue with that.

adding chad j in there to for a steal man there gonna tough again, but i still hate them as much as the yanks

[goblueM]

no, the Yanks buy talent... New England drafts or trades for it with a bargain

you gotta respect they way they wheel and deal, and coach, even if you don't like the organization

Heck of a deal, I wish we would of got him, he'll be an absolute beast next to Wilfork.

Wow, I couldn't agree more. As much as I despise Belichik for a variety of reasons, I really admire how he and Scott Pioli (GM) worked together over the past decade. The new GM seems even more shrewd in finding the bargains and letting Belichik turn slackers into believers and winners.

Haynesworth will be a force for the Patriots.
