Haynesworth trade possibly in the works

[jdc65]

It sounds like they have already lost Albert. Him not showing up to these mini camps, when everyone else is, sends a Portis-Zorn message that Shanahan cannot have. Why would they even want Haynesorth at the Nose position anyway? Make him a 3-4 DE, and let him attack the backfield. The thought of losing such a dominating player for so little is sickening. The D-line would become as porous as last year's O-line.

There must be much more to this story for Shanahan to even think of giving Albert away. The man is already paid, sounds like he is good as a 3-4 End, make up already. I am a little concerned that Shan may lose some of the confidence of his players. Everyone knows how good he is, these workouts are voluntary, I mean come on.

Even the best make mistakes. Hopefully whatever happens, this won't be one of them.

I can understand trading one of your best players for an offer you can't refuse. However, to me this still feels like AH is being run out of town (a la McD and Cutler) by the new regime. I guess that if AH shows up this weekend, these rumors would be squash...I don't fully trust JLC's report...but then again you never know. I hope Schefter does some sort of follow up on this.

Wow, this is a tough one...at this point they have to trade him seeing as though the bridges are burned beyond repair. I really don't like the fact that they are forcing the 3-4 even though our personnel is so clearly better suited to the 4-3...its a little early to doubt the Shanahan/Allen combo but....

[CultBrennan59]

hmm what about Albert Haynesworth to the Titans for Jason Jones and their 3rd rounder

I wish I could see AH play at least a game or two in this new defense, but now it seems like it isn't going to happen..

[NYCskinfan82]

I'll be really mad if the trade AH.

DON'T TRADE AH, DON'T TRADE AH, DON'T TRADE AH, REPEAT A MILLION TIMES.

IMO

HTTR.

Another AH thread????? Sigh....

A few thoughts here:

-Blache, Zorn and Cerrato were the driving forces behind getting AH last year. Had Shanahan been here last year we wouldn't have signed him

-In other words, Shanahan doesn't like him. I didn't realize until I talked to someone a couple of days ago how much he doesn't like him

-That said, Shanahan isn't looking to unload Haynesworth but he is listening to offers and may settle for something a bit less than value

-Haynesworth isn't crazy about playing in a 3-4, though this defense will have many variations, but he does believe that he can play for Haslett

-I mentioned Howard Green yesterday morning and I don't see him quite the same way that JLC does. I don't think signing him is indicative of any AH trade

-There's something else at play here. No one is biting on some of the other players we have shopped. A lot of it could be teams simply waiting for draft weekend. But some trades that the Redskins were hoping would happen simply haven't yet

-All that said, I think some of those other moves will happen and I hope the Skins don't get desperate of frustrated and unload Haynesworth for poor value

shanny doesnt seem like he plays around. i guess plummers impression that once you get on shanny's bad side, you stay on his bad side seems accurate so far.

at times last year AH was a beast, pushing the o line back a good 2-3 steps right from the snap. it was awesome to see, taking it with a grain of salt those times he got tired or wasnt in there for important snaps.

he did impact important plays thoo,

1st game of the season, giants going for it on 4th and goal, stuffed by AH.

I'm also not convinced that the two sides feel as strongly about the situation or each other as is being shopped around by bored sports writers.

I agree with you and it was even mentioned that AH does not have a problem with staying with the Skins. He stated that after taking some time to think about it and talking with other players in a similar scheme he's not that upset knowing he will be given a chance to create chaos for other teams.

However, I think Shanahan is not happy with the whole I'm not sticking around attitude. If the team can move AH for a decent price they will but if they don't then both sides have to co-exist.

Man I get that he's getting away from what we've done before but how do you hate getting one of the most dominant players in the game?

I'm with you on that; people just aren't going to value our guys the way we do, especially like you said, with the draft right around the corner.

[SBXVII]

I'm just wondering why this wasn't in the "2010 offseason Rumors and Reports" thread? I think most of us were already talking about it there. Even mentioned the two DT they brought or were bringing in and signing. I could see if AH was traded then yes new thread.

Anyway, it looks like Shanahan is not playing around. Either your on board or your not. If your not your gone.

Anybody remember the name of the DT that recently got traded or picked up for a 2nd rounder? I can't remember the name but I remember some of you guys saying no way AH goes less then a 1st if the other guy got picked up for a 2nd.

[drew54]

I would rather he play 15-20 snaps a game for someone else.
