Washington may end its 350-pound headache by shipping Albert Haynesworth back to his old team.

ESPN’s Chris Mortensen is reporting that the Redskins and Titans are once again talking about a deal that would send Haynesworth to Tennessee. According to Mortensen, the only hangup is the Redskins wanting a pair of picks for the defensive tackle. Washington’s asking price was rumored to be holding up a deal when Haynesworth was shopped around during the NFL draft as well.

At this point, it seems the real question comes down to how much the Redskins want to move on, and how willing they are to end up with egg on their face by admitting they made a horrible mistake by signing Haynesworth to a $100 million deal. There’s no way they will get anything close to market value for him, but at the same time, playing an unhappy, unmotivated Haynesworth as a backup defensive linemen isn’t exactly getting your money’s worth for a player who’s made $32 million in his first year and a half in town.
