Redskins and Titans talking trade again on Albert Haynesworth

[GTripp0012]

Britt has badly underachieved since the end of last year, but it's not OUR bonus money, so I'd absolutely be willing to take that offer for him and a pick.

Of course, I'm thinking Tennessee won't be so quick to part with him. Jeff Fisher can work with him.

This is interesting...

RT @RedskinsInsider McNabb: "We can't win without" Haynesworth. "He plays a major part in our defense and everybody knows that."

Being consumed with something and being distracted are two different things. Everytime the Redskins coaching staff spends a moment talking about Haynesworth, everytime a player is asked what he thinks about it all is a distraction in my opinion.

But the larger point here is that the excitement that was buidling following Shanahan and Allen joining the organization has largely been muted by the Haynesworth drama. The fan base's expectation has been a mixed bag. Now we're in wait in see mode.

I will say, however, that a London Fletcher fumble recovery early in the Dallas game will go a long way to erase the negative press and feelings around all of this. A lost to Dallas on the other hand, might have the reverse effect and keep the rumor mill churning for another week or two. Provided that Haynesworth is still on the roster.

Albert presents a most curious dilema for this team. We want him, but we don't want him. We want him because his presence on the field makes those around him better, [thus he represents value] We dont want him because of so many reasons it will take too long to say. Question for the organization: which way is it going to be?

Okay, so now McNabb is tweeting about it? Does this guy sounds focused on Dallas and not paying attention to this drama?

McNabb doesn't have a twitter account, that's from RedskinsInsider quoting him.

This is from his ESPN 980 interview. Very surprised he said that...esp since this is the guy that said that they could win games without TO.

I hate to say it...but they should have traded haynesworth when he was involved with the Mcnabb trade.

It would have cost us much less than the 2nd and (3rd or 4th) by him being involved in that trade.

But this was before we paid him his monster up front bonus and the eagles didn't want to be on the hook for all that money...which is exactly what's going to happen anyways now.

We pay haynesworth and ship him,when we could have done the same thing with Philly and traded him for mcnabb and less in draft picks...(probably could have kept our 2nd rounder that they got nate Allen with)

But then we would be facing him twice every season,so I don't fault the FO for not doing it either...

Then he would have 3 weeks to practice what he has learned before he could play. He basically would be showing up in the latter part of our season healthy, and raring to go. Which would help us with our final games against the Giants twice I think, and Dallas.

Assuming you're talking to VJax, in which case it's safe to say the last thing I want him doing is sitting at home drinking anything. The guy already has rumors of being in need of a 12 step program. Two DUI's doesn't help to exactly quell such rumors

Philly didn't want him.

Kenny Britt seems to good to be true in regards to these rumors. I mean you're talking about a 6-3 deep threat coming off of a 700 yard rookie campaign in a run first offense. Still trying to figure out if having Vince Young throwing to him should add to his credibility. On top of that Britt has a rookie contract and no suspension hanging over his head. You trade Haynesworth for Britt straight up and you're basically trading Haynesworth for a first round pick. Again, to good to be true.

But if the guy is worthless, why should we worry about having to face him twice a year playing with a rival? Remember, we want him, but we don' want him. Can't be both ways, has to be one or the other.

I'm well aware he was offered up in a trade. Again, Philly didn't want any part of him.
