ESPN’s Adam Schefter disputes NFL.com’s Jason La Canfora’s report that the Redskins are actively shopping defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth. Per Schefter, Washington hasn’t had any trade discussions regarding Haynesworth since March 31.
Schefter is on top of his game at all times, so I tend to believe him over anyone else when it comes to NFL speculation. But La Canfora was a former beat writer for the Redskins and NFL.com doesn’t usually posts rumors unless they have some validity to them, so whom do we believe?
La Canfora recently reported that Haynesworth made a bad impression on new head coach Mike Shanahan, which is why the team is willing to part with the $100 million man. La Canfora’s report holds water seeing as how the Redskins tried to dump Haynesworth in the trade for Donavon McNabb.
Of course, Schefter didn’t say that Washington won’t trade Haynesworth at some point this offseason, he just said that they’re not actively shopping him right now. We’ll see how this story develops leading up to the April 22 draft.
