When Washington tried to trade Albert Haynesworth last season, the only team that showed serious interest was his former squad in Tennesssee. The thinking was that his old coaches Jeff Fisher and defensive line coach Jim Washburn knew how to handle him.

The Redskins stupidly held out for a better draft pick, and Haynesworth didn’t go anywhere.

Now that Washburn is in Philadelphia, speculation has already started that he could land with the Eagles. Jason La Canfora of NFL Network reported on Total Access Thursday night Haynesworth would take less money to play for Washburn again.

Before that happens, Haynesworth has to be in position to take less money. The Redskins seem intent on trying to get something for Haynesworth in a trade, which seems very unlikely considering his contract.
