Owner Dan Snyder is disappointed by his defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth.

Haynesworth, for his part, doesn't feel that he's been treated fairly. According to NFL Network's Jason La Canfora, those close to Haynesworth say he feels that he's been sold a bill of goods. The word used was "deceived."

Here's how they are selling it:

Haynesworth was promised before signing he could attack the quarterback when he came to Washington. The Redskins even considered trying to bring his old Titans defensive line coach Jim Washburn to town. Haynesworth had Snyder's ear.

Now that's all changed. He's being asked to occupy blockers, and he can't go around the coaches to get to Snyder anymore.

To this, we say: grow up. Things in life happen that are bigger than you. Coaches get fired, schemes change.

The Haynesworth camp would be better off not giving his side of the story.

Looks like fans here love to fuel up this non-story by posting these TMZ-like articles.

Just for those keeping score at home, here are some voluntary workouts/camps absences, you know that horrible crime sanctioned by the UN...

You can poke at this non-story and defend AH, however here's a quote from the article:

"One of the things that was real smart on his (D. Ryans) part was the fact that he was upset that we had not been able to come to terms with an agreement, but he came back and was a part of the offseason workout and he was with his teammates, he was a leader and he did things the right way," Smith said. "He played his contract out and he was rewarded."

Despite being a talented, veteran player who is among the highest paid in the NFL, AH is not doing things the right way. Fans have a right to be disappointed with his behavior (I couldn't care less about the talking heads). Again, this is no mystery/surprise, but it's still disappointing.

Also from the article: "Obviously we want Andre here," coach Gary Kubiak said. "I know he and Rick are talking, so we'll get it worked out. We're not worried about Andre. He'll do his job."

When mandatory activities begin will AH "do his job", I'm confident he will. But could he have made the team more cohesive and better by being here with everyone else (100% attendance outside of AH), absolutely yes. I find it hard to fault any Redskin fan who is angry that AH is purposefully and selfishly hurting the team.

I'm not poking fun, it's just that this whole thing is getting tired. Yes we know he's missing camp, yes he should be there, and yes these camps/workouts are mandatory. You can probably add all the stories and all the threads posted about this, and they all say the same thing. People just need to get over it and wait until mandatory camp and then comment.

It's not a position I hold, but I think this is really well said.

So how does AH for AJ feel. Its way better than the whole 3rd rounder or 4th bullshit. Maybe its a reach, well it is a reach. I would be real comfortable with this move for a WR, and now he is disgruntled maybe there could be something here. The coaches are all very close and personable we need a WR they could use a beast like AH. Maybe we can get AJ for a Moss and someone else they need help with their running game. We can sign B. Westbrook and trade any of the other 3 with Moss attached. Just a thought.
