Haynesworth is Behaving Selfishly

it is obvious. if someone can come up with a logical explaination for all of haynesworth's offseason behavior, that also fits with what we know of him as a player in his entire professional career, i'd love to hear it. so far, everyone just says florio and JLC are making crap up for the fun of it, without providing a plausible explaination for AH's behavior. sorry, but i'm not that gullible.

All his offseason behavior? What is he doing besides working out on his own?

Yeah Haynesworth may very well want to be traded but his actions right now don't warrant the kind of blow back that he's getting. I understand it's a new system it's important for him to be here, he's the only player who isn't but last season this guy bought into everything the coaching staff and trainers were selling, he did the OTA's he did the offseason conditioning program he took everything Zorn's staff was selling. What did he end up doing?

He was out of shape, under utilized when he was on the field and injured (possibly b/c Zorn's staff was clueless when it came to conditioning these guys). I don't question his desire to go with what he knows will work for him and that is training with his guys. I realize this is a new staff and Wright is the new conditioning guy but bottom line is there are some familiar faces on that training staff and Haynesworth may not be thrilled about working with them and if he stays in Tennessee and gets into great shape and comes in here and plays like the player he has shown that he can be then the speculation and the criticisms are for nothing.

-dissing donovan mcnabb, phillip daniels, and other players who have reached out to him.
-telling close associates that he wants to play for minnesota
- 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.
