Unhappy Haynesworth being shopped around

John Niyo / The Detroit News

Allen Park --The Washington Redskins attempted to trade former All-Pro defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth last week in the deal that brought quarterback Donovan McNabb from the Philadelphia Eagles.

But amid widespread reports the Redskins continue to shop last year's biggest free-agent catch -- with the Lions among the possible trade partners -- ESPN's Adam Schefter on Wednesday cited a high-ranking Redskins source saying the team isn't determined to move Haynesworth.

Still, there's clearly a rift in Washington, with new Redskins coach Mike Shanahan and Haynesworth off to a rocky start. Haynesworth, 28, reportedly is upset about a scheme change that will have him playing nose tackle in a 3-4 defense, while Shanahan isn't happy with, among other things, the defensive star's decision to train away from the team during voluntary offseason workouts this spring.

The Washington Post reported Tuesday night that Shanahan has asked general manager Bruce Allen to explore trade options for Haynesworth prior to the NFL draft (April 22-24), with Tennessee, Detroit, Tampa Bay and Jacksonville mentioned as potential destinations...

...on April 1, the Redskins paid Haynesworth a $21 million option bonus, meaning the ninth-year pro already has pocketed $32 million in his 13 months in Washington. It also means he's due a more palatable $16 million over the next three seasons, with $9 million in guaranteed base salary in 2010 and 2011.

This is one of the reason why NFL lockout is coming next march. Owners are tired of these hugh contracts players are getting. I understand now why owners are not giving in to player demand so easy. I don't blame the owners. Paying players that much money just to play 16 games is way to much money. It's dumb to tell you the truth. No player is worth that kind of money no matter how good he is.:eek6: But I doubt there is any team out there that is willing take this player with this kind of contract at this point. Also age is another factor aswell. Skins are stuck with him.:rofl:

I think what most are failing to take into concern is that he actually played well when he played at the skins. Its not like they will be hellbent to get rid of him. I just don't see them taking that big of a loss for anything below a 2nd round pick. If they can't get that they'll just keep him. I think he could be a decent/good NT/5 tech.

The only reason not to have Haynesworth in our division is so none of our players get their heads stepped on by his fat a$$

I've tossed the moniker Headstomp Haynesworth around, hoping that it would stick. But it's never really picked up any momentum.

No matter how good he is, or how much he gets paid, that will always be the first thing i think of.

I doubt we try to get him especially if there is a bidding war. But honestly if we can get him it will be hugely cheaper than it would have been to keep Peppers and we will have a dominant DT like we did when we had Jenkins. It will make Brown or Johnson instantly better.

Wishful thinking or something more?

More...Ellis is our only every down DT that's above average and he's injury prone(Hargrove-situational). So we're in desperate need of another DT. Sure there's the draft but with the time it takes a DT to develop vs. an OLB it makes more sense to draft an OLB. Especially for a team that is title contention. The Brown signing was brilliant...an upgrade at DE over Grant and allows us to look harder at other positions. I don't think we're going BPA.

      You see, this is why I'm more critical of Dave Canales

      By frankw · Posted

      His physical attributes aren't going to change on a new team so I have no idea how he would pan out elsewhere but I can logically assume those issues he has had with processing which was supposed to be his key selling point before the draft would follow him. He was also supposed to be someone who thrives when the play breaks down but he has been inconsistent at best on that and at times horrific. I think where we each take a fork in the road on the determination of Bryce Young currently is you seem to still be treating him as a rookie and not a third year QB still repeating the same mistakes while showing that he has no arm talent to overcome even the slightest bit of adversity. I've said all along his rookie year and his sophomore season that I would be willing to overlook his interceptions if he was pushing the ball downfield consistently and even if he turned the ball over forcing a pass here and there to keep defenses honest I would accept it. But he has nothing. There is no deep passing game here. He threw the ball 55 times in Arizona which was 30 more times than Kyler Murray and only had a little over 100 more passing yards than him. Legitimately you should read that again and ponder it. That is embarrassingly atrocious. Circumstances here are not ideal with the WR's and OL but we cannot normalize this. It is horrendous. And we need to swallow our pride and begin scouting QB's for the 2026 draft. In the meantime this cannot continue on much longer for the sake of the locker room. And the upcoming schedule isn't going to get any better. If there is a silver lining to any of this we are going to find out just who Dave Canales really is throughout the rest of the season. He isn't getting a pass either.

      I don't hate it but.....  eeeh it would take acquiring Kaprizov without giving up svech to make rod try Jarvis at 2C. Svechnikov/Aho/Kaprizov  Ehlers/Jarvis/Stankoven

      Carolina’s interested in Kaprizov

      By PantherChris · Posted

      Given the fact he declined buku bucks over on the HOF hockey board most don't think they will even get svech..... (not even canes fans) The $$$$ tag plus lack of leverage for Minny could end up seeing him dealt for somthing around what we got for Ranttanen....
