After making the bonus payment (the reason we were shopping him), the impetus to trade him is gone. Now, if someone gives us a call and says "Hey, we'll give you a 2nd for Haynesworth" we'll think about it.

i think youre missing the point. Neither Shanahan nor Allen were part of the front office that decided to sign Haynesworth. They don't care how much money he's being paid and they got approval from Snyder to do what they wanted, irreguardless of the financial aspect.
