Shanahan on Haynesworth deal: 'It's not going to happen'

In an interview today with the NFL Network, Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan didn't leave himself any wiggle room about the prospects of defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth being traded.

"No, it's not going to happen....Albert Haynesworth will not be traded," Shanahan said.

Not sure if there are many ways to interpret that. AlthoughShanahan has publicly said similar things since his minicamp last week, reports, rumors and speculation persists, and
Tennessee, New Orleans, Minnesota and Detroit have all been linked in
trade talks.

The NFL Network's Jason LaCanfora reported this afternoon that Haynesworth would be moved today, likely to Tennessee in exchange for a third-round draft pick in tonight's draft. But Titans general manager Mike Reinfeldt used language just as strong as Shanahan's.

"It's a dead issue. It is not happening," Reinfeldt told reporters in Nashville, Tenn., according to The Tennessean. "From our perspective there is nothing [to the report] at all. I have not talked to the Redskins in a long time.''
