It was Phillip Daniels, or so I've heard. But for all I know it could have been Fletcher himself

that wouldn't surprise me either

he's had some interesting facebook updates since the start of the offseason programs.. stuff like "If you're not part of the solution then you're part of the problem" and whatnot

I wonder how much his jerseys are going for now

Dockett isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. I don't know how I'd feel about signing him, however I do imagine that he would command Dansby type money on the open market so I doubt we would go after him. Besides in a 3-4, even without Haynesworth we have a pretty damn good line. I'd be a little worried if we were playing a 4-3 but with a 3-4 we have guys that are in a position to succeed.

I'm thinking it was Daniels.

"The bottom line is that, during negotiations, the Redskins made promises to Haynesworth that they are not keeping. It's hard to blame the team when a guy who is making a hundred million a year is skipping training camp, but if the Redskins made verbal promises to Albert and they're not keeping those promises, well then they have to sleep in the bed they made."


This makes zero sense to me. You get paid to play, not to bitch about what a team is doing schematically. If I go into a position and then a new manager comes in and switches things around, i have to deal with it. If I said I didn't like the way they are doing things, so I am not coming to work do you think I would still be employed? Hell no. The guy was just paid $32 million for 1 season, and basically renegged on his deal about taking the $20million check. He knew when he took that check that he was going to be on the hook for playing in what ever scheme they threw out there. I hope Shanny and Allen stand up to his fat ass and say "hey, you want to stay home, that is ok we'll fine you... and if you show up and cause problems then we'll suspend you with no pay." Its your call. Sure he can show up and play half ass and get benched, but who is that hurting more, him or the Redskins...HIM.. He wont be able to get moved or traded if he plays horrible. I really hope this jackass gives the $20 million back, then we can take what ever for him and get rid of him. If not, then I would just put his fatass on the bench for spite.

Actually now I've had a change of heart on Dansby. Based on this chat session he seems like a pretty good guy. Though at the same time I stick to my statement that we wouldn't have the money or desire to go after him.

If I were his teammate, I would ask for a trade. There's no way you can win with a guy like that on your team. I would feel like he's the highest paid player in the NFL, and that he alone is supposed to be at everything before everyone else, and have the most accountability. No disrespect to the player on your team who is getting that much, but a lot of guys would go above and beyond to get a contract like that. Personally, if they were to pay me that much, I would go outside and help set the field up before practice!

You mean Dockett right?

If he is to be traded this what he is looking at. As long as he isnt traded in the division its fine with me. He needs to buy his way out first. If not, give him a Gatorade bucket to sit on cuz he doesnt deserve to sit with the rest of the players.

I still think I'd hold on to him for as long as possible simply to either recoup the money spent or make him miserable. After that I'd look into trading him to

Rams
Lions
Jaguars
Raiders
Bucs

I would put serious thought into the Eagles only to try and get back our 2nd round pick next yr.

Report: Haynesworth will show up for training camp
Posted by Mike Florio on June 16, 2010 2:46 PM ET
Despite his absence from a mandatory minicamp, recalcitrant Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth reportedly will show up for training camp when it opens on July 29.

If, of course, he's still on the team.

The report comes from Chris Russell of 106.7 The Fan, who cites an unnamed NFL source.

But Haynesworth won't be showing up because he's finally seen the light. Instead, Russell reports that Haynesworth hopes to avoid potential litigation with the team, which would have a better argument when it comes to trying to get money back from the player if he doesn't show up for training camp.

As we've separately heard, Haynesworth's advisers believe that his only consequence for failing to show up for the mandatory minicamp is a fine in the neighborhood of $10,000.

So if/when he shows up, he may be acting like another player from another NFC East team five years ago.

We can only hope that Haynesworth won't eventually be doing shirtless sit-ups in his driveway.

Umm,

#1- T.O didn't refuse to show up, Reid told him to stay home as punishment.
#2- It's my understanding AH can be fined $10,000 for each day he doesn't show up. Although $30,000 is chump change for not showing up at the 3 day mandatory camp when he was just given 21 mill April 1st.

Why do people always try to lump T.O. into every bad apple category? I think people have well over stated T.O.'s being a cancer issue.
