Any reports coming out of Ashburn whether he showed up for his physical?
He skipped the physical.

I like how his agent says, "This situation will be a distraction to the Redskins and to Albert and his teammates. I am certain [head coach] Mike [Shanahan] and [General Manager] Bruce [Allen] want to get the most out of their first year and it's probably in everyone's best interests for the Redskins to make a deal and trade Albert."
Sounds like a threat to me. At this point, I am done! I was ready to defend this fat, lazy, money grubbing slob because he can play football if he wants to! He is so stupid he can't even see that his presence in this scheme would likely make him a Pro-Bowler.
Let the fat **** sit out! Don't trade him! Refuse to trade him!!!! Fine him every day he sits out!!! Make his fat ass sit the whole year! All we are losing is money that is already gone. Would it be nice to pick up a draft pick or solid lineman? Yes! But I would make this fat piece of **** sweat!
Nice post Henry. My post above echoes this (which is why I agree with you ), if we wait for training camp injuries and preseason injuries, we come from a position of strength.
Again, the Jason Taylor thing comes to mind. If there is a team that loses a DT, and honestly believes they are close to making a playoff/SB run, I would think they would strongly consider parting with a couple of higher draft picks, which would be fine with me.
Cause, you know, my opinion matters lots.
One wonders if suing for Breach of Contract is even an option...
Probably not but it sure makes for a lovely thought.

Above anything here Albert wants to keep that fat check we just stroked him. He'll show up to regular training camp, he has 21 million reasons to do so.
Pretty sure I heard that about mini-camp too. Everyone said Al wasn't stupid and he would do nothing to put a single red cent in jeopardy. Apparently "everyone" had not clue what they were talking about.
From what I understand, it doesn't sound like the Redskins will be able to get at Haynesworth's signing bonus money unless he starts missing training camp.
This is coming from @SalaryCap101, a former salary cap analyst for the Redskins.

Doesn't sound like mini-camp fits in there.
I submit that the best way to increase his trade value is to sit him. Right now I don't think his trade value is particularly high. He doesn't want to be here and he won't play for us, so our leverage in a possible trade is fairly low. However, if we make it clear that we'd be just fine sitting him for whole season if we have to, we are negotiating with possible trade partners from a stronger position. Our apparent desperation to get him out of town ASAP is gone.
I'd say 'we'll entertain offers but if we don't get one we like we'll damn well sit the SOB all season long.'
