The good news for Albert Haynesworth on Tuesday is he made it to the Pro Bowl for the second straight season. But that's potentially bad news for the Titans, who now might have a harder time keeping the defensive tackle around after this season. As a result of the honor, Haynesworth is set to become an unrestricted free agent. One of four triggers in the contract Haynesworth signed in July stated if he made it to the Pro Bowl the team would agree not to place the franchise tag on him for the second straight season. Haynesworth's agent, Chad Speck, said it not the time to discuss the future.

Sounds like him and his agent made the right call. I'm sure he will get paid!

Come to Green Bay, you'll be one of the final pieces to the puzzle there.

I second that; but Ted Thompson is no Ron Wolf.

he didn't kick the guys helmet off....he just took advantage of the fact that the helmet came off during the play....Also, he did one thing, he paid the price and hasn't been a problem since. I am all for giving a second chance...its the third, fourth, fifth, etc chances I have a problem with....

what he did was inexcusable...If T.O. had done something like that he would have been lynched...double standard..

It was a sick act, and could have permanently injured the man. But, he served his time and hasn't been a problem from anything I've heard.
