Do we really just want a clean slate? Is it that he's the last expensive, overblown, cap-eating, waste left to us by Vinny?
And, more importantly, is it possible that our run defense might just suffer without him?

The Detroit Lions, Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Jacksonville Jaguars and Tennessee Titans - whom Haynesworth left to join the Redskins before the 2009 season for $41 million guaranteed - are among the teams that could be interested in acquiring Haynesworth. In his first season in Washington last season, Haynesworth was slowed by injuries and not in top physical condition.
Shanahan's desire to excise Haynesworth from the roster stems from Haynesworth's reluctance to play nose tackle in the Redskins' new 3-4 scheme and his decision to train individually instead of participating in the voluntary offseason conditioning program at Redskins Park. Although Haynesworth only appeared in 12 games last season, he participated in the second-highest total of plays among Redskins defensive linemen.
