Redskins Coach Mike Shanahan made his most emphatic public overtures to free agent running back Brian Westbrook Wednesday, saying Washington has made Westbrook an official offer to join a full stable of running backs that already includes veterans Clinton Portis, Larry Johnson and Willie Parker.
Asked after Wednesday's offseason workout session if he had heard from Westbrook or his agent, Shanahan told the assembled media, "No, but if you guys hear anything, just tell him that we're ready.
"We want him to sign with us," Shanahan said. "Like I said, it could be some great competition. I really like Brian, what he's done and how he's handled himself. I'm sure he's weighing some options. It's not too far away from home. Any more I can do?"

Like I said, Westbrook would be a super 3rd down back. I'm hoping he signs.
Redskins Pro Bowl defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, contending that the team has broken promises to him, will not attend the team's mandatory minicamp that begins Wednesday morning and wants to be traded, his representative said Tuesday night.
Haynesworth no longer trusts the Redskins because high-ranking team officials, who aggressively pursued the two-time all-pro during the 2009 offseason, made assurances that have not panned out about Haynesworth's role and how he would be permitted to play, agent Chad Speck said.
Coach Mike Shanahan and General Manager Bruce Allen should strongly consider moving the eight-year veteran, Speck said.

Wow, they should have dealt this guy when they had the chance (heard on 980 that they could have gotten a 3rd at the draft but held out for a 2nd). Now they will get Jason Campbell-like value for him.

I almost want to thank him for being dumb enough to sit out mandatory activities. The Skins finally have a chance to get money back, possibly a portion or all of his 21 mil. It's never been done, but never has anyone taken a signing bonus that large and not gone to mandatory work just weeks later.
We only owe him 9 mil a season or something relatively low over the next 2. If we can't trade him, don't release him to make him happy. Let him waste the prime of his career on the bench. PLEASE Danny, you're rich enough and he screwed you enough out of a portion of those riches, at least think about it...
The New Orleans Saints agreed to trade offensive lineman Jammal Brown to the Washington Redskins on Saturday, according a league source.
The Redskins will either be sending a 2011 third- or fourth-round pick to the Eagles as part of the Donovan McNabb trade, depending on his performance. Whichever of those picks is not sent to the Eagles, would then go to the Saints, as well as a potential future late-round pick.
The Redskins will also receive a yet-to-be-determined pick from the Saints in the lower rounds of the 2011 draft. In addition, Washington will send a 2012 sixth-round pick to New Orleans if Brown meets certain incentives.
Vincent Jackson might not be a Charger for long.
No one is predicting he will shipped off soon, and it does not appear other teams have been officially notified the Pro Bowl receiver is on the trading block. But several sources confirmed the Chargers talked with the Seattle Seahawks earlier this month and have made it known Jackson will remain available.
The Seahawks maintain interest, as do “several other teams,” according to one source. Among those teams, sources said, are the Washington Redskins. It is not known whether the Redskins have spoken to the Chargers regarding Jackson.

They did recently pick up John Beck, who at one time had a second round grade. If he shows something in preseason, he could fill that "QB of the future" role.
