NFL Players Weigh In On Haynesworth Situation

I agree. The bottom line for me remains that he purposely chose to skip the mandatory mini-camp. At this point, if he wants respect, he has to show up on time, go full force in whatever position Haslett puts him in, and earn his starting spot back - which I am sure he can if he wants it.

I really have zero confidence on that happening. He's got a lot to prove at this point.

It's going to be surprising to some how well Haynesworth will be received once he shows up for camp in shape. A great many things have been said during the course of his absence but the bottom line is football.

With the money he's being paid there's no way he's going to sit. Come opening day I look for him to be in the starting line-up.

At least one football talking head has said that this sort of thing happens all the time and that should he show up it will all be water under the bridge (I think this particular talking head mentioned Strahan's hold out as an example). Besides I'm sure the attention will shift to players that are planning to continue their hold out into the season (I think Vincent Jackson is one of them, I could be wrong).

Personally, I think he'll be damaging his career (further) if he holds out during training camp and into the season. Honestly, at this point I don't care what he does or what is said about him now, because as someone has said he just need to show up for training camp and get to work.

Showing up in good shape will be a good start, but I think he's got a bit more to do before everyone considers this past offseason water under the bridge. He better be ready to work his tail off and do anything the coaches ask of him with no complaining.

That said I still can't shake this feeling that he's not going to be in a Redskins uniform this year.
