Adam Caplan of Scout.com reported earlier the Washington ******** tried to trade DT Albert Haynesworth to the Eagles for Donovan McNabb.
Now Jason La Canfora of
NFL.com reports that Haynesworth, who clashed with coaches in Washington last season and has not made a good first impression with new coach Mike Shanahan, is someone who could be had in a trade, and he was offered to the Eagles.Other coaches said that they expect the ******** to continue attempts to move Haynesworth, who is bucking attempts to play nose tackle with Washington playing more 3-4 now, according to sources. Haynesworth just received a $21 million bonus at the start of the month, and his salary would make dealing him very difficult.
The Eagles had no interest in him outright, according to a source, and thus the subject of how much of the bonus payments and salary the ******** would absorb in a trade did not come up. When the ******** brought up Haynesworth they offered no financial stipulations, according to the source, but had the Eagles shown interest that matter may have come up.
