ESPN radio said we had been but the team didn't like the offers. I think more to the point was the team looked into trading him around the draft time period and we were only offered like a 4th round pick and the team was not going to accept such a low offer.

Now with him being anal and the team being in a situation other teams will most likely offer less knowing we might be in a bind with AH. Which is why I'd keep him and fine him each day he doesn't show in attempts to try and recoup some of the money. Have him ride the bench for 2 or 3 games (I think Arrington said that was his worst time sitting there hearing the fans yelling at him in the back ground and not playing), then trade him for anything that the Rams will give for him or some other team that was a bad team last yr. In no uncertain terms would I trade him to a good team or a play off contender. Either he play for the Skins who might turn out to be better then expected or play for a rotten team.

Rams
Jaguars
Browns
Detroit
Buffalo (this might be good. cold, miserable, but paid). lol.

Trades to the Vikings or Titans came close to happening but it was more about listening to offers than us reaching out to them.

The only time we truly actively tried to trade him was in discussions for McNabb. And for a split second when talking with the Saints

But I don't see them cutting him

You're right, I don't think this complicates next year's cap at all because of the way they restructured his $21 million signing bonus. Essentially, it only effects the 2010 roster.

But the Skins made a tactical error, in my opinion, by not cutting him before April 1st. That was their chance to unload his fat ass.

He still would have got all the money. It was guaranteed in the contract. Cutting him would only have saved base salary.

This is what I hope to see:

He agrees to a trade and return bonus money back to the team as part of the trade agreement. After the trade, a bunch of women that he has banged come out with love children that he has fathered and they sue his ass till he's broke. Nothing would satisfy me more to see this guy go broke like many clueless athletes out there. Karma baby!!

Shanahan 'Very Disappointed' With Haynesworth's Absence

Here is the article:

Head coach Mike Shanahan said on Wednesday he was disappointed that defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth has opted not to attend this week's mandatory mini-camp.

Shanahan addressed Haynesworth's absence in a post-practice media session on Wednesday.

"When I first talked with Albert back in February, and got a good feel on how he felt, and sat down and talked with his agent, we let Albert know at that time that we would give him until April 1 to go to any team he wanted in the National Football League," Shanahan said. "So if he wasn't pleased about playing nose tackle or any other position we had planned for him, that we would let him take a look at any team he wanted to go to.

"But on April 1, when we owed him a check for $21 million dollars, we said if you take that check, we do expect you to be the best defensive end, the best nose tackle--if we play you at free safety, we expect you to be the best free safety, even though he'd have to lose a little weight. Whatever position we play him at, that he would have to do the best job he possibly could and make the commitment to be the best football player.

"Obviously he took the check. So I was surprised he wasn't here [at mini-camp], because I thought he did make that commitment once he took that check, that he wanted to be a Washington Redskin and he wanted to do the best thing for the Washington Redskins to help our defense and help our team win. Obviously it didn't go in that direction. So we're quite disappointed."

Amazing detail of what has transpired, and I think we all can agree that MS/BA handled it right (if his words are to be believed). It also shows how we would be listening, without being actively shopping, much like they told JC if you find a place great, we will send you there, but we are in control. I loved this whole statement by Shanahan!!

I hope no cut without a cash settlement, as in buy your way out FAT ASS!

First of all I feel vindicated for being an "Albert Hater"

Fat Albert can rot at home and watch the games on TV. The Skins don't need his BS. If the most unselfish player on the team says he is selfish, that is all I need to hear.

Unless he returns 100% of his salary for this year I say they fine him for every missed practice, and force him to decide if he wants to sit out the whole season.

Eventually he will show up and be a problem, and then they can give him the Keyshawn treatment for the last half of the year. If there is a lock out then Fatty will have successfully ruined his career, and be starting at a lock out.

I for one thought he would come in shape and ready to take on whatever roll he needed to play.

You can say "I told you so" any time now.

All I can say is for the 30+ mill he took we fans should be able to get something out of it.... like watching him sitting misserably on the bench for a few games and allowing the fans to ridicule him from the stands. I'd also freeze his contract. When he decids to play a yr from now he can show up at camp until he fulfills his contract or pays it back.

No I took the high road like Denny Green always does.

Haynesworth must be the only person in the world associated with the Redskins (player, coach, employee, fan) who's actually upset the regime changed from Cerrato/Zorn to Allen/Shanahan. It's like being upset that you came to a party with Rosie O'Donnell and left with Brooklyn Decker

AH thought he was coming here for a payday and to get away with underperforming like Stubby did. Now he's stuck with a new regime that actually wants him to perform for the $ and he's not happy. AH stole that spring bonus check from the Skins but I doubt the Skins will be able to get the $ back. AH is a bum.

[Ruhskins]

I really wish no team would pick him up, but unfortunately some team always is willing to take on a case-head like this. That's why these pricks keep re-appearing over and over again.
