Looks like the Titans are already trying to sign Haynesworth. I know a lot of people around here want him... I think he would cost WAY too much.

Agent: Talks in beginning stages

By Paul Kuharsky

<!-- end page tools --> <!-- begin story body --> <!-- template inline -->NASHVILLE, Tenn. -- The Tennessee Titans are now able to talk contract with Albert Haynesworth, their Pro Bowl defensive tackle who played this season as the team's designated franchise player.<!-- begin whole table -->
<!-- end sidebar table -->The rules of the tag prohibit a team from negotiating with the player on a long-term deal until the regular season is complete.
Haynesworth's agent, Chad Speck, said via e-mail that he fielded a call from Titans GM Mike Reinfeldt on Monday.
"Mike called me today and expressed the Titans' interest to begin negotiations on a long-term deal for Albert," Speck wrote. "We had a preliminary discussion and our talks are in the very early stages. It is my intent to keep any future conversations I have with the Titans regarding Albert's contract private for the time being. I would echo coach [Jeff] Fisher's comments by saying that Albert is focused on getting his knee healthy and continuing his dominating play in the playoffs.
Haynesworth signed the $7.25 million tender deal in July after he and the team agreed on incentives that provided five different avenues for him to ensure the team could not tag him a second time. If Haynesworth met just one, he'd be cleared to become an unrestricted free agent on Feb. 27.
Haynesworth, who missed the last two regular-season games with a sprained knee but is expected back for the team's Jan. 10 playoff game, was named to the AFC Pro Bowl roster on Dec. 16. That was one of the incentives and made it official that he could not be tagged again in 2009.
The Titans now have an exclusive negotiating window of just over two months. Haynesworth could be in line to become the highest-paid defensive player in the league.
"Clearly we've expressed a great deal of interest, as he has, in working things out," Fisher said. "We'll move forward, but the most important thing right now is the playoffs and getting him ready. Getting him back on the practice field, getting him ready to play at the level he was before he got hurt."

i wouldnt want to see haynesworth here with herm as HC. Coach Fisher is a leader of men.haynesworth is abit on the loose cannon side. i dont know WTF herm is but i do know he aint no Jeff Fisher.

If we want any big free agents, we're gonna have to overpay. I believe this guy is worth it.

One way to help our crappy Defense

Well, we passed on him & John Henderson for Ryan Sims. Obviously, that move panned out.

Their GM is handling it all wrong. He has to tell Haynesworth he's a risk because of his on field issues and that he won't negotiate until after the postseason.

We could pay him more than they could.....and he would be worth every penny.

If I was the Titans I'd try and sign him long-term,too. He's a great DT and I would love to have him on the Chiefs.

really wanna help the D? i dont think you guys understand the situation the chargers are in. maybe? anyway this is the guy who would make us contenders in one fell swoop.

Living down here in NashVegas I might be able to shed a little light on this. The agreement that Haynesworth signed last year was signed with the understanding that if Albert hit certian stats he would be allowed to shop himself on the free agent market.

That being said the Cheifs will have to over pay to get him to come the KC.

My two cents, take it for what it's worth....and that ain't much.

I get the impression that Haynesworth could go full blown turd when he gets his money.

fyp.

Once he got off the roids he hasnt been the same.

Heh Heh.
I'm from TN, and lived in Nashville for a while.
We called it NashVegas when we were younger.
Just thought that was funny. It brought back some memories.

Carry on.....

ya right. tell that to a OC in the nfl.
