Haynesworth trade possibly in the works

Just look at the changes made in Denver, first Cutler was shipped out and now Marshall. As great as those guys were for that team in the past, they were simply not a fit for their new direction.

Why did it ever get to this point? Portis has been much more of a malcontent as a Redskin than Haynesworth, but Shanahan did not pick on Portis as he has with Haynesworth. Deciding to workout on his own or voicing his opinion that he would rather not play in a 3-4, but will if asked.....is that worth turning a player into public enemy #1? I really have a problem with coaches that feel they have to publicly make a player out to be the bad guy. Keep it behind closed doors like Patriots do, not in the media.

I don't think it's anything personal, I would guess that even before this offseason workout stuff came up AH was identified as a player to be moved this offseason.

I haven't heard a peep outta Portis lately, have u? He seems to be playing the good soldier routine just fine. Regardless, CP fits in to our plans, AH doesn't.

In your opinion.
We hear all this big talk about how Shanahan wants to change the culture and piss poor attitude of the players. How is keeping Portis who has a history of being the #1 selfish asshole on our team changing the culture?
Plus Portis has durability issues and possible concussion problems that he has not tested yet, not to mention his huge $10M a year cost. If our front office really thinks Portis fits into our future plans I disagree with them. Portis gives up ans stops running hard when things do not go well.

Well I'll trust Shanny when it comes to Portis, he has a history there with him and knows him much better than any of us.

Didn;t he get rid of him in Denver?

Yeah but he got the best corner in the game and a 2nd rounder, who wouldn't have made that deal?

Off Topic: I still think we were robbed in that trade.

We will be lucky to get a 2nd rounder for AH.

Exactly, why is he not being shopped he is a quitter. That dude didnt have those symptoms that long he just seen the way the team was going and jumped ship.

The reason CP aint talking is cause he gots two guys equally as talented as him trying for the #1 position. And I beleave Shanny has finally stopped the go run to Danny cause Coach is being MEAN.

LOL! What a pussy move that was.

I still think there is a chance we deal Portis if the right deal comes along. Portis' best days are behind him and at $10m a year he ain't worth that.

I think we'll deal anyone but McNabb if the right deal comes along...but yeah I agree that Portis would be more likely than some others
