07:45 AM ET 09.17 | V-Jax to Washington? Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan would not rule out pursuing San Diego receiver Vincent Jackson on Thursday but noted that "we don't talk about people as well, for obvious reasons." The NFL ruled earlier Thursday that Jackson's six-game suspension would be only four games if the Chargers manage to trade him. Jackson has been locked in a contract dispute with the Chargers, and if they trade him, he could be available in Week 5. Shanahan offered few hints as to his intentions. "We'll always be trying to upgrade our football team, if that presented itself. We have people evaluating different people on teams all the time," Shanahan said.

What difference would he make with the Bills? There's no one to throw him the ball. In fact, you might say the same about the Jets.

Probably for Haynesworth and their goes the bolts' season... I'd like to see Snorve Turner and Albert together...

Could also say the same about Miami.

V-Jack? No, Fat Albert wants flapjacks. 3 tall stacks, with maple sizzup, every morning.

Is V-Jack better than the existing list of WR's on the Skins' roster?

Yeah - this would be an upgrade.

Shipping Haynesworth out in said trade would also be an upgrade.

How 'bout we trade Fat Albert for a stack of flapjacks. No bacon though - he's not worth the bacon.

Haynesworth and a Pick + cash for V Jax?

September 17, 2010  10:01 AM ET

Same old Redskins if they do it. Trade away top draft picks for talented malcontents and end up where you started. And the Chargers want value in return. Then the player wants a big , new contract. Isn't this what got Shanahan in trouble in Denver and one play off win in ten years?

Haynesworth sprained an ankle again and cannot even get on the practice field right now. He is a tough guy to move. His value diminishes by the hour.

Or you could say he is not tough to move anymore and that has diminished his value.
