And f--- Landry.....

Once again, please someone tell me where Haynesworth has said something?

All he has said is that he'd prefer to play DE in the 3-4, but he will play whatever they have him play on defense (which I find it odd that people here who always quote the "square peg in round hole" cliche would disagree).

Haynesworth was here for the first day of "voluntary" workouts, and just as with some other players, he decided not to participate and told the team that he would workout on his own ahead of time. Shanahan, being no pushover of course said that he was disappointed, but he also said that he respected AH's decision.

I still don't see any drama here, and honestly people are just blowing things out of proportion. I recall the situation when Springs wasn't showing up for OTAs and Gibbs telling the press that he couldn't even get in touch with him and teammates like Phillip Daniel calling Springs out. Granted, that Springs wasn't given 41 mil guaranteed, but still people act like Haynesworth ran out of Redskins Park yelling and screaming.

I think the team should be careful how they state themselves in reference to Haynesworth choosing not to participate in the team off-season conditioning program at the park. To think he could face some form of retalliation by way of threatning to trade him for not doing so could draw the ire of the players union. Those workout's are strictly voluntary, and to indirectly threaten a player for not attending is contrary to rule governing those activities.

Let's just see where Al is when training camp starts. Last year is over with. But I don't want to see him crying about where they're going to play him when the season starts. You're getting 40 mil so do what the coaches tell you to do and be in tip top shape.
