Exhausted by the distraction and lack of effort from Albert Haynesworth, the Washington Redskins have once again gauged trade interest in the defensive tackle from his former team, the Tennessee Titans, according to team sources. It is at least the second occasion the Redskins have had discussions regarding Haynesworth with the Titans since Mike Shanahan was named Washington's coach in January. The Titans definitely would welcome back Haynesworth, a team source said, but maintained that the Redskins' asking price was still too high. The Redskins are believed to want at least two draft picks for Haynesworth. A Redskins spokesman said he was unaware of any trade discussions involving Haynesworth but sources say the dialogue occurred over the weekend. Source: ESPN
Intrigued? Yes. I believe Jim Washburn can get something out of Haynesworth and the Titans scheme fits him best. I wouldn't want to give up too high a draft pick to do so. I do lather at the thought of a Haynesworth/Tony Brown/Jason Jones rotation inside.
If only the Redskins didn't overpay to sign Haynesworth just a year ago....he'd be long gone otherwise.
He will be great for the next team he plays for. He's going to play hard just to make Wash. looks like bigger rods than they already do.
