Despite rampant speculation, Redskins NOT shopping Albert Haynesworth and haven't had any trade discussions regarding him since March 31.

I agree with those who say that Schefter is more reliable.

However, notice that this means that we haven't tried to trade AH for the last week. That's not a big deal. Tomorrow may be different.

I think you are speculating as much as Florio and LaCanfora have. I do believe anyone can be traded, but I don't believe the drama that these two have overhyped (you can throw in f'ing Andy Pollin on that one too).

^ I didn't mean to speculate. I'm not saying we are trying to trade AH and I agree that others like Florio have created drama where drama perhaps does not exist.

Still, "They haven't tried to trade AH for one whole week" is not a very strong statement.

I agree. And, as I said in another thread, the fact that Schefter - the person closest to Shanahan - is the only one disputing the report is noteworthy. Its blatantly obvious to me that Schefter is only reporting what Shanahan wants to report to drive up Haynesworth value and make him help us facilitate a trade. I'm 100% confident that Haynesworth is on the market and will be traded if we can get a starting offensive linemen and/or experienced 3-4 front7 players and/or draft picks.

Now you are taking this in a direction in which I did not go. All that I was saying is that the information we have is ambiguous, weak, and murky.

I never said you did. I said I agreed with what you said. Then I added my own interpretation.

well he was due his 21m on the 1st which is why they were more willing to ship him before then

Yes, you are correct. April 1 made a clear difference in his tradeability. But it is obvious from March that they don't see him as a "must keep" player, leaving the door open for maneuvering down the road. Maybe. Maybe not.
