Trading Haynesworth right now would probably not result in the compensation we want or need, and it would seem like an act of desperation.
In the draft you had teams that needed d-linemen for 4-3 defenses that could have easily trade for AH, and it would have made sense. Tampa Bay could have traded their 2nd rounder for Haynesworth, and picked up Eric Berry with the 3rd overall. Hell, the Lions could have gotten Haynesworth with their 2nd and still get Suh with their first rounder, given them the MOST ridiculous d-line in history. But I believe they didn't because they either: A.) had the sense that Haynesworth was a "problem" for the Redskins and could sit and wait or B.) the team (unlike a lot of ppl here) does not think Haynesworth is a problem and they were just getting feelers on what they would get for him (in case someone gave us an offer we couldn't refuse).

Which means they would be open to trading him. We're saying the same thing essentially, you just think that it would have to be an "offer we couldn't refuse." Thats relative, so I guess I could agree w/that. If a 1st round pick is offered, I think they would do it.
The most likely trade scenario IMO is if Minn., NO or another 4-3 team w/super bowl caliber roster has a preseason injury to one of their DTs, they might be willing to give up a lot & AH will be happy to play in a 4-3, so his agent would work hard to make the deal happen.
