I agree with everything you said (except the last sentence, of course).

For the life of me, i don't get why so many her:

1) completely discredit JLC;
2) put 100% faith in everything Schefter reports when there are multiple, obvious reasons why we should question what he says about the skins; and
3) treat everything the FO or coaching staff says as gospel, when misdirection and deception are every team strives for this time of year.

Personally, if JLC or another sports analyst says one thing, and the team is saying the exact opposite (either through official channels or through schefter), it makes me 100% convinced that the report is true and the team is lying. When the reports agree with what the team is saying, its then that I have no idea what to beleive.

Jared LaCanfora was wrong more and more often towards the end of his stint with the post. He left at the right time because Redskins Insider was useless at that point. With all of the turnover, who is left in the building that would feed him anything? His watershed moment was disgracing Gibbs 2.0 and feeding us sorry ass Archuleta's opinions.

People are saying that Schefter should be the reporter that we are leery of, I think it is much more likely that they would use Jared to deliver their propeganda. One, the team does not like him (and rightfully so). Two, who cares if you make him look stupid with bad information, he furthered his career at the expense of your team. Three, they could filter this b.s. out there to see if there is any legitimate market for some of these guys.

Shanahan did not have to say anything about Al's status, yet he was very declarative that they were not trying to trade him. Shanahan did not have to say that but he was pretty blunt. Plus, Haslett said that he has all kinds of plans outside of nose tackle for Al.

I hope we keep Godzilla and make Jared LaCanfora look like an idiot. Screw him.

If we're comparing JLC and Schefter talking about any of the other 31 teams in the league, i'd agree. but the fact is JLC (along with pretty much everyone else) have cited multiple, unnamed sources saying the skins will move haynesworth. Schefter, who gets his information from shanahan, who has every reason to lie, is the only one saying otherwise.

combine all this with:
1) JLCs report that the skins will do something major this week
2) The skins desire to trade Campbell and the Rams interest in a QB
3) The Rams desire to trade out of the #1 overall pick and willingness to do so on the cheap
4) The skins interest in Adam Carriker and I think we could end up doing this:

Skins trade the #4 overall pick, Jason Campbell, and Albert Haynesworth to St Louis. (St Louis trades down from the #4 overall pick with a team [possibly Philidelphia] that wants to jump ahead of Kansas City and select Eric Berry.)

The Rams send the #1 overall pick and Adam Carriker to the Redskins. The Redskins select Sam Bradford. Donovan McNabb and Rocky McIntosh are traded to the Raiders for Thomas Howard and their 2nd round pick.

It doesnt freaking matter. If someone offers a first round pick for McNabb, we might take the deal.

Every player is considered as trade-able if the right offer comes along. There is obviously a bit more with AH, but I think the position thing is a bit blown out of proportion.

Also, he was clearly out of shape and did better in TN when he did his own thing. Why not pay big bucks to get in shape, the way you think is best for you? Doesnt matter what is expected, as long as he shows and is in shape who cares? I have a feeling this is all going to blow over after AH shows up to manditory workouts and is in shape.

I find that Shanahan's comments about having 2 sacks or more meaning there's something wrong either really stupid, just a complete fabrication, or disinformation.

Unless Shanahan wants to burn bridges with his buddy in Schefter, I don't see him so blatantly lying to Schefter.

Who knows what to believe about Albert Haynesworth anymore? There have been so many different stories circulating over the last several weeks it would take a genius to unravel them all. His threads are about to eclipse those of LaVar Arrington and I really thought that would take some doing.

Thursday can't come fast enough for me, maybe then some of these stories will begin to subside.

skipping workouts is one thing. skipping a new regime's minicamp where you need to learn how to play a new position is completely different.

The good part about the position he plays is that there's not a whole lot to learn he dosen't already know or haven't seen. He knows already how to take on double teams, everything else is commonplace.

I believe the FO is over the skipping mini-camp part because there's nothing that can be done about that, the conceren now is that he's going to hold true to the promise he made to the coaching staff that he would report to mandatory activities in shape and ready to play.

The stupidity of the AH situation is how Snyderato structured his contract. Here is a guy with questionable character, and within 14 months, he has been paid $30M+ of the $40M that was guaranteed in the deal. Don't blame AH for being a douchebag. We give him a boatload of money up front, and expect him to be a model citizen after giving him all the carrots ($$$) that could have been used to incentivize him. Snyder is sorely lacking in his understanding human nature. At this point, Haynesworth is a cancer that should be removed.
