Haynesworth angered with Redskins

Washington Redskins Albert Haynesworth became the big story following the team’s preseason loss to the Baltimore Ravens.

Haynesworth shot his mouth off in the locker room, clearly unhappy with the way the team characterized his absence from practice during the week.

The defensive tackle said that he wasn’t just dealing with headaches and that the media should go ask the coaches what he was dealing with.

Head coach Mike Shanahan plans to address Haynesworth’s quotes at practice but said that he is going to have to practice just like everyone else if he wants to play in games. ( Read More…)

Haynesworth losing weight

Washington Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth has not endeared himself to the team or fans with his absence from offseason workouts.

However, don’t mistake that for Haynesworth laying around all the time and sitting by the pool.

The defensive tackle has already lost 32 pounds following a training regimen and is going to open some eyes at training camp. ( Read More…)

Redskins put Haynesworth back on the block

The Washington Redskins have put defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth back on the trading block.

The Redskins have been looking to trade Haynesworth since fairly early in the offseason when he made it clear he wasn’t happy with the team’s new defensive scheme.

Haynesworth has been absent from all offseason practices and minicamps to the chagrin of the Redskins. ( Read More…)

Shanahan feels “very good” about Moss situation

Washington Redskins head coach is confident that starting wide receiver Santana Moss won’t be disciplined by the NFL following the news that Moss allegedly received HGH from Canadien doctor Anthony Galea, who was accused of drug smuggling, conspiracy, lying to federal agents, unlawful distribution of HGH and introducing an unapproved drug into interstate commerce last week. Shanahan has said that he feels “very good” about the situation.

Moss, who was one of a handful of athletes who allegedly received HGH from Galea, has declined to comment on the story to the media, but told his teammates that he had no idea that the doctor was injecting him with HGH during the three times he was treated by him.

Still, the NFL could suspend Moss whether he knowingly took the HGH or not. Commissioner Roger Goodell has made it clear that he’s going to be proactive about disciplining players to maintain the integrity of his league. Multiple players, including star quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, have been suspended without ever being found guilty of anything in the court of law.

In light of this story and the possibility that Moss, the team’s No. 1 receiver, could miss time this season, rumors have swirled about Terrell Owens joining the Redskins. The embattled Owens, who spent last season in Buffalo, has yet to find a home. It would be an interesting acquisition, reuniting him with quarterback Donovan McNabb, with whom Owens had a tenuous relationship during their season together in Philadelphia.

S. Moss received HGH

Washington Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss was a recipient of HGH from Dr. Anthony Galea.

Galea is currently being investigated and charged with providing illegal drugs to professional athletes.

Moss is not in any trouble with the law, as investigators consider him a witness and are not looking to prosecute him.

So far the wide receiver has declined to talk about his relation to Galea, citing he will only speak about things related to football.

It will be interesting to see what comes of this and if any of his fellow teammates resent Moss for possibly taking HGH.

Redskins not interested in Owens

The Washington Redskins have no interest in wideout Terrell Owens according to head coach Mike Shanahan.

Some news was made when quarterback Donovan McNabb suggested he would welcome Owens with open arms.

It seems he made those comments without any conversation with his head coach or the backing of the front office.

Shanahan seems intent on building the team his way and would rather not risk Owens coming in and dividing the locker room.

Owens has divided virtually every locker room he has been in other than last year with the Buffalo Bills.

McNabb has interest in T.O.

Washington Redskins quarterback Donovan McNabb is interested in reuniting with wideout Terrell Owens.

McNabb said he talked to Owens recently about the two possibly playing for the same team once again.

It’s pretty clear that McNabb wants to get back at his old team, the Philadelphia Eagles, at any cost.

He had a very tumultuous relationship with Owens a few years ago, but is hopeful that time heals all wounds.

It also helps that Owens is generating little interest on the open market, so he is more desperate to find an interested team.

McIntosh wants trade

The Washington Redskins have already made one big trade this offseason. Could a couple more trades be in the works before all is said and done?

The team has been actively shopping quarterback Jason Campbell and defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, but another name could be heading out of Washington.

Linebacker Rocky McIntosh is not happy with the team’s 3-4 defense and would like to be traded to a team that plays a 4-3 scheme.

He said he hopes that the situation will be resolved soon, but wouldn’t really come out and say that he wants out of Washington.

However, the kicker is that if the Redskins decide they will pay big money with a long-term deal to McIntosh, then he would be more than happy to stay with the team.

McNabb impresses Redskins

Starting quarterback Donovan McNabb has impressed the Washington Redskins with his attitude since the trade.

Players who have been on the field with McNabb already have applauded his leadership, something the Redskins haven’t had in a long time.

They said McNabb almost instantly became a leader and that it seems like he has been with the team for a couple of years already.

A lot of the offensive players in particular are very excited by the opportunity that McNabb brings with him to consistently move the ball and make big plays.

Now it’s up to McNabb to prove that he isn’t starting to decline and has a few more great years left in him.

Shanahan won’t name starting QB

Washington Redskins coach Mike Shanahan said he won’t name a starting quarterback before the start of training camp.

The team recently signed Rex Grossman, but it was assumed that he would serve in a backup role.

Shanahan said that he doesn’t see any reason to name a starter before he starts working with the quarterbacks.

He said it’s important he gets a feel for who he is going to work with and see how the relationship develops.

This certainly cannot please Jason Campbell, who always seems to have his starting job up for grabs.
