Haynesworth may want to get out, but will he pay back money to do so?
Speculation has increased in the past few days that Albert Haynesworth might be willing to pay back part of the recent $21 million bonus he received in an effort to help facilitate his exit from Washington, which two people in the organization said he would welcome because of Coach Mike Shanahan's plans to use him as a nose tackle in the team's new 3-4 scheme.
Donovan McNabb, on being traded away from the Eagles after 11 seasons: “I felt I was treated fairly. Never had you heard me complain about the fans and media.”
I felt I was treated unfairly. I only complained about the fans and media in private.
Eagles coach Andy Reid, on whether other teams were involved in the McNabb trade negotiations:

Gruden atop Snyder's wish listRick Snider
Jon Gruden appears to be the frontrunner in Dan Snyder's offseason search for his seventh coach in 11 seasons.
Sources close to Snyder say he began considering options to replace coach Jim Zorn after losing to Detroit on Sept. 27; a victory that ended the Lions' 19-game losing streak. The Redskins loss to Carolina on Sunday was its second in three games to a winless team. It followed a turbulent week when Snyder hired an "offensive consultant" to give Zorn another "fresh set of eyes" on a beleaguered offense.
