Fisher on Haynesworth: “We’re in good shape” but “we’ll listen”

Titans coach Jeff Fisher says he can’t talk about Albert Haynesworth as long as he’s under contract to the Redskins. And Fisher says he likes the Titans’ defensive line as it is.

But Fisher acknowledges he’ll listen to the Redskins if they offer a trade that would send Haynesworth back to Tennessee.

“We’ve got great numbers,” Fisher said of his defensive line. “We’re probably going to have to deactivate one or two for the game that could play so we’re in good shape.”

Fisher said that if the Redskins were to approach the Titans with a trade offer, the Titans would listen. But that’s about as far as he would go.

“If they’re willing to look into the possibility of dealing him, of course we’ll listen to them,” Fisher said. “We listen to those types of things almost every day.”

Fisher acknowledged following the Haynesworth situation well enough that he knows about “the offseason payment and then of course with all the drama associated with the offseason conditioning and the conditioning test and everything.” But he says that the Titans are just thinking about Week One.

“Our focus right now,” Fisher said, “is on the Raiders.”
