Fat Albert gets an early start to vacation

Haynesworth lashed out at his "haters" yesterday :lol:...

ASHBURN, Va. (AP)—Even by Albert Haynesworth standards, it was quite a day. A teammate called him out, essentially for being selfish. He got publicly summoned to the coach’s office. A television report suggested he appeared “hung over” at practice last week.

Then, late in the day, the Washington Redskins defensive lineman had his own say. Appearing on a radio station, Haynesworth blamed the report on “haters” that don’t like him, said he’s too upset to meet with coach Mike Shanahan on Tuesday, and again proclaimed he could be the greatest ever if he could play the way he wants to play.

“I believe there’s some kind of haters in the organization, that they don’t like me,” Haynesworth said on 106.7 The Fan. “I don’t know if it’s players, I don’t know if it’s coaches, I don’t know who it is. Obviously somebody who doesn’t like me, which is fine. But when you go out there and start making up lies, then, yeah, I’ve got something to say.”

Haynesworth conceded he was “a minute late” for an 8 a.m. meeting Friday and perhaps didn’t have the best of practices the day before.

“If I didn’t have a good practice, sue me,” he said. “Everybody doesn’t go out and have a great practice every day. But that doesn’t mean I can’t play on Sunday.”

Shanahan said he plans to meet with Haynesworth and won’t discuss anything about the matter until the meeting has taken place. The coach declined to say whether Haynesworth will remain on the roster for the rest of the season.

“I think it’s fair for me to talk to him before I talk to you,” Shanahan told reporters.

Haynesworth said the meeting with have to wait until Wednesday.

“I’m not going into the office tomorrow,” he said Monday. “I’m still heated over this. I just got sick of it.”

Hope we take a chance on him

this I'd trade a fifth rounder for him...I know it sounds like an awful idea but assume he comes back with a vengeance. We affectively solve the DT problem and can use our picks on Luck Green or Peterson, and depth; and our free agent money on more depth

Just release the guy already... LOL!

This is classic Synder, he's more concerned with the money he spent on Haynesworth then with the effect his presence has on the football team.

The Panthers have plenty of problems right now, but I wouldn't trade any of them for the problems the Skins have. The whole organization is diseased and rotten to the core.

    • I've really only begun to pay attention this week being that training camp is looming, so I was personally caught off guard by the fact that Nic Scourton remains unsigned. That's not necessarily bad news, but it's not necessarily good news either. Apparently it's a thing with this year's draft class. "Of the 32 players selected in the second-round, 30 remained unsigned and the clock is ticking. "Already we've seen one second-round pick hold out from the start of training camp with that player being Los Angeles Chargers' wide receiver Tre Harris. Harris did not report with the rest of the Chargers' rookies on Saturday due to his contract situation, a issue that could impact nearly every other team in the league. "For the Panthers, defensive end Nic Scourton is the player to watch for when rookies start showing back up to the team facilities next week. "The 51st overall pick is one of the 30 second-rounders who has yet to sign their rookie contract and the reason why is due to the other two that have actually signed. "Cleveland Browns' linebacker Carson Schwesinger and Houston Texans' wide receiver Jayden Higgins each signed fully guaranteed contracts as the first and second players drafted in the second-round. Prior to this year, second-round picks never received a fully guaranteed deal, only players selected in the first-round." https://atozsports.com/nfl/carolina-panthers-news/panthers-nic-scourton-contract-second-round-pick-training-camp-hold-out-tre-harris/ So, I suppose we'll see what's what pretty soon. It's definitely something to monitor.
    • overwhelming majority of kids in travel ball aren't getting scholarships though because most teams are rec caliber (and not watched by scouts)    and parents/leagues sort of helped create this system and narrative IMO where travel ball is now oversaturated and most of it is simply expensive rec ball.  is travel beneficial for some athletes to get more exposure? Sure. The ones travel actually existed for.   I still think travel has expanded entirely too broad at this stage......where they will now have 5 teams per year in your backyard area pending they can get parents to write those checks.   Ain't no scout ever laying eyes on 90%+ of the kids in travel ball at this stage of where it has morphed into.     
    • Im really curious to see how the defense is going to look once its playing with some leads.
