Mike Florio of Profootballtalk.com is a horrible, horrible NFL analyst/predictor; he's a true embarrassment to the profession (the linked story was 100% false).

He is, however, very good at churning up rumors that don't have enough meat to make a reputable news source.  Thus, their unsubstantiated stories should be taken with a grain of salt, but sometimes they have good stuff, such as this tidbit below on the nuances of Big Albert's pending 1 year Franchise tag:

 

There have been stories recently regarding the possibility that Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth will be the latest franchise player to play his franchise season with the ability to qualify for unrestricted free agency if certain triggers are met.

As we hear it, the team wants to impose a combined playing-time trigger and some type of high-end performance incentive, such as Haynesworth being named a starter in the Pro Bowl.  Haynesworth’s camp is said to be pushing for an either-or in this regard. 

Chances for a long-term deal currently are slim, primarily because the two sides are so far apart.  We’re told that Haynesworth currently is aiming significantly north of the deal paid recently by the Bears to defensive tackle Tommie Harris. 

 

I hope the Titans stick to having both triggers, if this is how the deal does indeed go down.  If he plays at the level he did last year and doesn't miss significant time, Albert will most likely be the free agent who gets laughably overpaid (see: Clements, Nate), and such contracts are essentially non-existent in Titans history...

I'm on record as saying that if we have to make Albert highest paid DT in the league, then do it: we're not going to find anyone who does as much damage along the line and improves the entire defensive unit as he does, anywhere.  

There's a risk with every NFL player.  Albert is worth the investment.
