AH trade II La Canfora insists AH is indeed on the trading block.

Trading Al for a 3rd rd. pick...........would be stupid! I personally think La Canfora just keeps spewing this info becuz of bad sources. Schefter comes with info that is legit so I will definitely believe him over La Canfora.

I think the next couple days will finally put a lid on the Albert Haynesworth trade talks. There are some, both media as well as fans who for some reason seem to just be obsessed with the idea of trading him regardless of how many reports come from within the organization to the contrary. Eventually (maybe) they'll come to the realization that it's not happening, and live with it.

its not like it was all just made up. smoot said a deal seemed very close. apparently, something must have fallen through. hence the denials from shanahan and the titans. but unless you want to call smoot a liar, there's no denying that we were trying to trade him to the titans. it just didnt work out.

Yes, but it's not like the team was desperate to do so as JLC insists it is.

I would never call anyone a liar, but I'm more inclined to believe what comes from within the Redskins organization than I am any media source. If it's a liar, then Shanahan is the culprit and I don't think he wants to be preceived as being that. The debate will answer itself shortly.

Here's what happened. Titans were trying to get him from us. We weren't trying to trade him there. We said the conversation doesn't begin until you can offer us at least a 2nd. Titans were then close to sending Bo Scaife in a deal to the Ravens that would get them a 2nd that would come to us. That deal fell through, Ravens took another TE in the draft, and that's the end of that.

Dang. So close. Good for the FO for holding their ground on a #2 pick. Thanks SS.

To further demonstrate just how confusing the many different media reports have been concerning the Haynesworth situation, Jason Reid of the WashPost reported the following today:

JLC - NFL Network reported this afternoon that Haynesworth would be moved today, likely to Tennessee in exchange for a 3rd round pick in tonight's draft. But Titans GM Mike Reinfeldt used language as strong as Shanahan's. "It a dead issue. It is not happening" Reinfeldt told the Tennessean. From our perspective there is nothing to report at all. I have not talked to the Redskins in a long time.

It's not difficult to understand why from a fans perspective, reading so many different and/or misleading reports could leave one in an absolute state of confusion.
