A finalist for the NFL’s Man of the Year award in 2009, there may not be a more respected Redskins player than linebacker London Fletcher.

His words regarding his absent teammate Albert Haynesworth speak volumes.

“I want teammates who I can depend on, who I can count on,” Fletcher said to Rick Maese of the Washington Post. "[Haynesworth] has shown he can’t be depended on.”

Wow. For the first time, we’re convinced Haynesworth doesn’t have a future with the team.

It’s one thing for a player to battle a front office, but it’s rare to see players publicly turn on a teammate.
