As the Minnesota Vikings tackles Pat Williams and Kevin Williams lost the lawsuit against NFL suspension, the Vikings may start their 2010 season game without the Williams Wall. As a result, there are again discussions of Vikings’ possibility to get Washington Redskins tackle Albert Haynesworth for replacement.
However, there have been several concerns over Haynesworth, who finished last season with 37 tackles and 4 sacks. One of the concerns is his questionable behavior and attitude to his job. He has recently disappointed the Redskins with uncooperative attitude toward new head coach Mike Shanahan’s new scheme. Another concern is that Haynesworth is a high-paid tackle and still five years left on his current contract that runs through the 2015 with a base salary for 2010 season of $3.6 million. It would be hard to the Redskins to let Haynesworth go after paying him a $21 million roster bonus in April. Even if they finally decide to trade him away, the price they are going to ask wound be high.
The Williamses are facing potential four-game suspensions in 2010 regular season, which means the Vikings will have to find two replacing tackles to fill the void in the first four games. And one of the replacing players would be able to stay at starting line as Pat Williams is 38 years old and will not play for long. On this point, 29-year-old Haynesworth is a top choice if he is available. At the moment, it really depends on whether the Vikings are willing to pay the price for having Haynesworth put on Vikings jersey as it is really impossible for the Redskins to release the talented young tackle for no pay back of their huge investments.
