Haynesworth is Behaving Selfishly

- leaking that the only requirement he had when he was a free agent that his agent only negotiate with 4-3 teams
-privately turning his nose up at the idea of playing in the 3-4 while pubically saying he'll do whatever he's asked to do (except show up at minicamps and OTAs of course)

Also, i question whether he is really training "hard" on his own. Haynesworth has only "dominated" in contract years and this is playing in a system that let him do pretty much whatever he wanted to do. now, why on earth would a guy whose actions show he's primarily concerned about money, train really hard to be in great shape to play in a defense he hates? He just got a huge check and, at this point, haynesworth's best shot at getting more future cash will come from another team. given everything i've read about Haynesworth, he'll give a half-assed effort (at best) if hes playing in washington in 2010. he simply has no motivation (from his POV) to do anything else.
