Last week, Jim Wyatt of the Tennessean said last week that “there’s no question” the Titans are interested in trading for Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth.
Fisher: No Haynesworth Trade Talks Between Titans, Redskins
On Wednesday he provided some quotes from Titans coach Jeff Fisher indicating that no talks between the two sides have occurred.
“There has been some speculation that I’ve had conversations with Mike Shanahan, which is false,” Fisher said. “I have not had behind-the-scenes meetings with our people. There have been no discussions. He is under contract with the Redskins and we are dwelling on the draft right now.”
Wyatt still suggests the Titans are interested, even if the coach isn’t publicly acknowledging that (which technically he can’t do since it would violate the league’s rules on tampering).
While the Titans may be willing to give up a draft pick --reportedly they would prefer a third round pick -- it doesn’t seem likely that would get a deal done for Haynesworth, who the Redskins have already paid $32 million including a $21 million check on the first of April.
