La Canfora says trade of Haynesworth is "very likely"

A year ago, Redskins owner Daniel Snyder recommended former team beat writer Jason La Canfora for Adam Schefter's old job at NFL Network. Many thought that Snyder simply wanted to get La Canfora out of his team's backyard, given an at-times adversarial relationship between La Canfora and the franchise.

But even though La Canfora's beat now includes the other 31 teams, too, he's surely still got a soft spot for the Redskins. And he's currently pushing a story that the team officially has been denying. Vehemently.

A day after coach Mike Shanahan insisted that there has been no trade talk regarding defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth, La Canfora reports (via our corporate siblings at Rotoworld) that a draft week trade of the 2009 free-agent acquisition is "very likely."

Though Haynesworth currently has a contract very conducive to a trade, with as a practical matter three years, $16 million, and $9 million guaranteed, the fact that he received $20 million on April 1 could be an issue. The Redskins surely will want some of that money back from him, and he'd likely be willing to return some of it -- especially if his new team would be willing to reimburse him via some new money.

Probably not, he's whining about being in a 3-4, which he'd be coming into here.

Didn't Tampa Bay show interest in him during FA?

ah well. idk then. trying to think of 4-3 teams that would go for it, can't think of any.

[Dpantherman]

Minnesota could be interested. Pat Williams is old, and i dont even know whos behind him. if not, he can just get over being in a 3-4

Yep I think they actually offered him more he just didn't want to go there doubt that has changed. Its not like he would have much choice but he could complain and holdout or something.

Anyone else not like La Canfora?

yea, i think he sucks. very rarely does he actually break news. hes gotten a few, but Schefter has trumped him 90% of the time.

Carolina's showing interest in him

dont start that...

[Swarly]

he can still play 3-4, he only wants to play 4-3 for money reasons. he & his agent are both dumbasses who signed a contract LOADED with incentives that a 3-4 NT can't meet.
