Haynesworth trade possibly in the works

[SmootSmack]

A few thoughts here:

-Blache, Zorn and Cerrato were the driving forces behind getting AH last year. Had Shanahan been here last year we wouldn't have signed him

-In other words, Shanahan doesn't like him. I didn't realize until I talked to someone a couple of days ago how much he doesn't like him

-That said, Shanahan isn't looking to unload Haynesworth but he is listening to offers and may settle for something a bit less than value

-Haynesworth isn't crazy about playing in a 3-4, though this defense will have many variations, but he does believe that he can play for Haslett

-I mentioned Howard Green yesterday morning and I don't see him quite the same way that JLC does. I don't think signing him is indicative of any AH trade

-There's something else at play here. No one is biting on some of the other players we have shopped. A lot of it could be teams simply waiting for draft weekend. But some trades that the Redskins were hoping would happen simply haven't yet

-All that said, I think some of those other moves will happen and I hope the Skins don't get desperate of frustrated and unload Haynesworth for poor value

seriously, id rather keep AH and deal with whatever discontent lies btw shanny and AH than to trade him for a 2nd rounder.

shanny doesnt seem like he plays around. i guess plummers impression that once you get on shanny's bad side, you stay on his bad side seems accurate so far.

at times last year AH was a beast, pushing the o line back a good 2-3 steps right from the snap. it was awesome to see, taking it with a grain of salt those times he got tired or wasnt in there for important snaps.

he did impact important plays thoo,

1st game of the season, giants going for it on 4th and goal, stuffed by AH.

I'm also not convinced that the two sides feel as strongly about the situation or each other as is being shopped around by bored sports writers.

I agree with you and it was even mentioned that AH does not have a problem with staying with the Skins. He stated that after taking some time to think about it and talking with other players in a similar scheme he's not that upset knowing he will be given a chance to create chaos for other teams.

However, I think Shanahan is not happy with the whole I'm not sticking around attitude. If the team can move AH for a decent price they will but if they don't then both sides have to co-exist.

Man I get that he's getting away from what we've done before but how do you hate getting one of the most dominant players in the game?

I'm with you on that; people just aren't going to value our guys the way we do, especially like you said, with the draft right around the corner.
