Haynesworth is Behaving Selfishly

[SirClintonPortis]

Unlike Jason Campbell, Shanahan has explictly said they were not going to trade him. Yeah sure, they listened to offers from Tennessee, but do you really think that these guys are just tight buyers but loose sellers? Tennessee would be getting a near-certain Pro Bowler for themselves while we get what, a second round draft pick? If I was giving someone a Pro Bowler, I expect a Pro Bowler or something equal to that in return, and Tennessee was predictably NOT accommodating and hence they went about parroting to the media that they weren't going to trade Al. That's what I think went through their minds. They guessed Tenn wasn't going to cough up the goods, so Shanahan just told Schefter to say they weren't trading him to help make Schefter's already-good rep even better.
