The same goes for every other 4-3 defensive team in the league.

Both sides need to play nice if he were to be traded period. Haynesworth needs to show up, show that he can dominate, and that he wronged all his faults from last season. The team needs to show that they are working with him and that they are not desperate to get rid of him. Otherwise, we end up on the losing side of a trade.
That being said, it is best for everyone if he comes, gets up to speed, and becomes the dominant player he was in the past. Both Shanahan and Haslett are pretty much saying that they want him to buy in to what they are doing defensively and it is up to him to do so.
As far as Shanahan's comment of "we'll see" when asked if Haynesworth will be on the team...well here's the whole quote:

Asked if Haynesworth would be a part of the team in 2010, Shanahan replied: “We’ll see. We’re going to give him every opportunity to show us what he can do. Hopefully he’ll like the position that we play him in and he’ll give us everything he’s got.”

The ball is in Haynesworth court and he needs to produce period.
