WP: Haynesworth will skip minicamp, wants trade

[CultBrennan59]

We should just trade him to New Orleans for Jammal brown and put Trent over on the right side.



...and I bought this guys jersey over orakpo's....

I'm sure he'll be there for training camp though, and actually wouldn't even surprise me if he shows up tomorrow

intuition or source?

We could trade him to the Saints but that might make the world champs even better. It would be great to have Jammal Brown, though.

We could also trade him to the Rams for OT Trautwein, S Atogwe, and maybe a draft pick. Then AH could play in his beloved 4-3 while never again sniffing the playoffs.

Report: Haynesworth Will Be At Mini Camp To Avoid Fine - SB Nation DC

Nothing like a fat-ass malcontent on the field. Bury the SOB on the bench unless he returns his signing bonus. As a matter of fact, I put him on the PUP list or whatever so he's not in the locker room or near the team. If he returns the SB or a large portion of it, trade him to a $hit team for whatever you can get for him. He was a FA, we didn't give any picks/players up to get him.

I guess the "bitter girlfriends" had a point. This guy will be a MAJOR locker room cancer.

And now that Fletcher and Co have called him out big time to the media, it's going to be even harder for him to come back into the locker room. I read yesterday that one player flat out called him an "asshole."

Considering Shanahan's history is dealing with players with AH's kind of attitude, I'd be surprised if that fat selfish D-bag is a Redskin this year. At this point the negatives outweigh the positives.

He's not a hard worker, he doesn't care about being in shape, he's a bad teammate, he's selfish, and he's a big puss. One play he's writhing around on the ground like he just got shot, then he stumbles off the field, sucks wind for a while on the sideline, and then comes back in like nothing happened. Then rinse and repeat. I really, really, really dislike him. He can just go away.

It was Phillip Daniels, or so I've heard. But for all I know it could have been Fletcher himself

that wouldn't surprise me either

he's had some interesting facebook updates since the start of the offseason programs.. stuff like "If you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem" and whatnot

I can't remember where I saw this, whether it was here, on ESPN or RI, but somewhere it said Shanahan talked to Haynesworth in February and offered to release him by April 1st if he agreed to not take the option bonus. So I feel like it should be kinda obvious that Haynesworth wanted to wait so he could get that bonus money, he was probably advised by the NFLPA that if he was on the roster April 1st and he reported to all the mandatory sessions that money would be his to keep and that's why Haynesworth didn't take up the offer by April 1st.

So my questions are, do you think the Redskins have a good chance at recouping some of that money in light of it being made into a signing bonus on the contract renegotiations, and do you really think this is more about how Al feels about being pushed down the depth chart for not showing up as you previously implied in this thread? And also why would Shanny need to ask Haynesworth not to take the option bonus if they cut him by April 1st, wouldn't that have cancelled the bonus if they just cut him by April 1st? And one more question. Lets say he skips the mandatory minicamp but shows up for training camp and the Redskins have already decided to pursue arbitration on the bonus, does he stand as good of a chance as the NFLPA advised him? I remember somewhere it said the NFLPA pretty much guaranteed that bonus money would be his to keep if he was on the roster April 1st and didn't skip training camp, which it sounds like isn't in his plans.
