Saints | Team claims M. Haynes
Sun, 3 Sep 2006 13:02:45 -0700

John Mullin, of the Chicago Tribune, reports six teams placed waiver claims on former Chicago Bears DL Michael Haynes, but the New Orleans Saints were the winners. "He is a healthy, great kid who needs an opportunity," said agent Brian Mackler. "He'll be the fourth end and this is a great opportunity for him and for the Saints. Michael Haynes was the 14th pick of the (2003) draft for a reason."
as per saintsreport and saintsrevolution...still not seeing it on kffl.

Notes: Father was in the military, and Haynes grew up in Panama, where he played soccer, volleyball and prep football. Redshirted as a fullback in 1998. Moved to the defensive line and backed up Courtney Brown at end in '99. Shared time and started two games in 2000. Started all but one game in '01 and led the team in sacks, but all it took was four. Had six tackles, one tackle for loss and half a sack in '99; 31-7-6 in 2000; and 41-11-4 in '01. Started all 13 games in '02, recording 80-23-15 with four passes broken up, one fumble recovery and seven forced fumbles.

Positives: Great quickness and movement rushing the passer. Good athletic ability and can shed on the move. Natural rusher. Above-average athlete with good movement skills. Flashes pass-rush ability. Has enough speed and playmaking ability. Makes plays.

Negatives: Does not have great power to beat first move and is not that fast. Has to improve at the point of attack against the run. Footwork improved in the last year-plus, but can get better. Lacks rare closing speed. Knows how to find the ball but could be better anticipating and adjusting.

Summary: Haynes' stock went up during his senior season and spiked further at the Senior Bowl. Has a chance to be a top-15 pick but has certain first-round talent.
does this mean bryant is gone? also, how does this effect our waiver status?

This isnt a bust, he has like 8 sacks total, and makes tackles

He was just injured I think, way better than Sullivan too

RE: saints sign haynes

he HAS been a bust.

5.5 sacks over three years, two of which he started all 16 games, the third he started 11 games. you should get more production from a 1st rounder.
