He's one of the more reliable and informed sources out there. Especially when it comes to Shanahan.

Because of his relationship with Shanahan, he can't be trusted. Schefter reports what Shanahan tells him. Shanahan has no reason to be truthful about anything. The fact that only Schefter is reporting that Haynesworth is NOT on the market, while Claton, Reid, and JLC all say that he is, only confirms that he is indeed available.

Shanahan doesn't sign his checks. I doubt that Schefter is going to publicly announce a report to further Shanahan's trade desires for a player. Wouldn't ESPN consider that unethical? At best it is a conflict of interest.

Reid and JLC do not have the inside track to the team. I think most people would agree with that. Everybody beats Redskins Insider to the stories now.
