These offseason activities are voluntary. I'm staying in Tennessee to spend time with my family. I'll be there for all mandatory activities. In the meantime, I'm getting myself in great shape so I can have my best season yet in 2010."
Instead, Haynesworth's public comments thusfar in the offseason have been lukewarm at best, and its obviously deliberate. Like Smoot said, we shouldnt be surprised by any of it. We knew what we were getting when we brought him here.

Let's be honest, I believe you have said multiple times how nothing AH or the FO say is worth anything. IF AH came out and said what you just asked for, MULTIPLE sources and commentators would speculate that he was trying to look good for any possible trade partners. Then we would be in this thread and several posters would take up that slogan and say that AH is cynically playing to the media so another team will take him.
Nothing he says or doesn't say is going to appeal to the part of the fan base that hates, or really dislikes, AH and his salary. What he has said, that he wants to be the best DT in the league, and if the team tells him to play NT he will, but he'd rather not, SHOULD be enough, if all people wanted was hearing the right words.
