The Buccaneers claimed defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth off waivers on Wednesday. The team admitted that the move was related to Gerald McCoy's season-ending injury. "This is predicated on losing Gerald McCoy," general manager Mark Dominik told NFL.com. "If that doesn't happen, this doesn't happen, we don't claim Haynesworth. The reality, we lost Gerald for the season, we're 4-4 and still in the thick of it, we've lost our last two and we're one game off the wild card. We don't think we're out of it." Dominik added that Haynesworth will be sent packing if he doesn't fall in line. "Sure it is," Dominik said in response to the question of whether the leash on Haynesworth is short. "He does have history, of course. But at the end of the day, you talk to anyone in the NFL, week to week, and you know you can be the hero one week, and be the villain the next. It's tough for any player under that scrutiny. But that's the nature of our business. He's gonna have a shorter leash, but if he's prepared and ready to play, he'll play."
