Hes perfect for Shannys system. Still depends on the compensation. puts drafting a QB off a few years. Eh I dunno......

As mentioned in the 10-pack we pounded out last night for SportingNews.com and by Rosenthal several hours earlier, the ******** dangled defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth as part of the trade talk that culminated in the Donovan McNabb deal.
We've heard that safety LaRon Landry's name also came up during the discussions.
Adam Caplan of Scout.com (via Sheil Kapadia of Philly.com) has likewise reported that Haynesworth was offered to the Eagles. We heard in the wake of the deal that the Eagles had no interest in adding Haynesworth to the team.
Bottom line? The new regime in D.C. definitely seems to be souring on the crown jewel of last year's free-agent class.

A week ago, the Raiders were regarded as the favorites to land Eagles quarterback Donovan McNabb. According to Jason Cole of Yahoo! Sports, however, McNabb intended to never play for the Raiders.
Per Cole, McNabb made it known to the Eagles through McNabb's associates that McNabb would retire if traded to Oakland.
"He has plenty of money," a source close to McNabb told Cole. "He's not doing anything he doesn't want to do."
While McNabb would have given up $11.2 million in 2010 compensation if he had retired, the Raiders would have not been able to collect money previously paid to McNabb, like the Bucs ultimately did with Jake Plummer several years ago. The signing bonus proration on McNabb's 2002 extension concluded in 2009, and his "financial apology" from last year did not include (as far as we can tell) a signing bonus, which is the only form of compensation that can be recovered if a player retires with years remaining on the proration.
