Among all the news about teams picking or trading drafts annually, the move of unsigned free agents mostly fall into rumors, and one of these rumors said that the Minnesota Vikings, who quite first-round draft by trading their 30th pick to the Detroit Lions, could be planning to sign defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth away from the Washington Redskins.
According to earlier reports, Haynesworth is having some unhappiness with Redskins new head coach Mike Shanahan, mainly because the coach plans to install a 3-4 defense and may move Haynesworth from his current position to a new spot that he is unwilling to play at. More than once the tackle spoke publicly about his hopes for being traded out of Washington. Now that the Vikings are rumored to be having discussion with the Redskins about the possible trade, Haynesworth could be happy to move from a losing team to a potential Super Bowl champion team.
The remaining question is whether it is possible for the Vikings to pick the trouble causer Haynesworth. The team has already had Pat Williams, Jared Allen and Kevin Williams in Vikings jerseys on the defensive line and there is hardly advantage in having them work with Haynesworth.

Redskins RB Portis and DT Haynesworth likely play Sunday despite injuries
The Washington Redskins running back Clinton Portis and defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth sat out Wednesday practice along with cornerback Carlos Rogers and fullback Mike Sellers. But according to Redskins coach Jim Zorn, the four injured are very likely to wear back redskins jerseys and play Sunday against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
Portis has been nursing bone spurs in his ankles since he was kicked in the calf during last weekend’s loss to the Detroit Lions. And Haynesworth has a strained hip muscle. Rogers missed the practice with a slightly swollen ankle and Sellers has a bruised thigh muscle.
When Haynes was carted off the field in last weekend’s game against the Lions, the injury looked much more serious than Protis’. However, Coach Zorn still felt optimistic that all the four injured will play Sunday against the Buccaneers.
