He Must Be a Great Teammate

Albert Haynesworth decided to take the money and run.  One year after signing his $100 million contract with the Redskins, he's not happy and he wants out.  Seems he was promised that he would play in a 4-3 defense in Washington.  That changed when Jim Zorn was fired and Mike Shanahan replaced him.  Shanahan wants to bring in his own system and on defense he wants to play a 3-4.

Shanahan gave Haynesworth an out too.  He told him the Skins would release him in exchange for not paying him the $21 million bonus he was due April 1st.  Well, Albert wants his cake and he wants to eat it too.  He took the bonus and still wants out, demanding a trade through his agent.  When teammates are being quoted calling you out it's not a good sign.

Haynesworth  is a helluva player, but I don't know that I want this kind of guy on the Baltimore Ravens.
