Westbrook Would 'Love To Be A Part' Of Redskins
Brian Westbrook, a native of Washington D.C. and recent visitor of the Redskins, says that he would "love to be part of that organization."
"It went really well," Westbrook said of his visit. "I enjoyed them and the coaching staff. I'd love to be a part of that organization. They have a quality organization -- I just have to find out if I can fit into their system."
Westbrook had spent his entire eight-year career with the Eagles before being released earlier this offseason.
Pregnant Ex Suing Haynesworth
Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth may have a reason for his absence as the Titans take part in voluntary workouts.
Haynesworth is being sued for $10 million by a Brooklyn exotic dancer who claims he impregnated her and then abandoned the situation.
Court papers allege that Haynesworth has refused to talk to her since late March or give her any money toward her medical bills.
He signed a $100 million contract with the Redskins last year.
Shanahan Doesn't Think Moss Will Be Suspended
Redskins coach Mike Shanahan doesn't believe that wide receiver Santana Moss will be suspended for his link to Canadian doctor Anthony Galea.
"I sat down and talked to Santana today and went through a bunch of situations that have happened to him," Shanahan said.
"And I feel really good about where he's at. I feel real good that he'll be, I don't know if 'vindicated' is the word, but when people find out all the facts, everything will be OK."
Galea was linked to HGH distribution.
Redskins Still Want To Trade Haynesworth
The Redskins would still prefer to trade Albert Haynesworth before the start of the season, sources told the Washington Post.
Haynesworth has already been paid $32 million by the Redskins, including $21 million on April 1.
He continues to skip voluntary team activities as he is upset that the team is switching to a 3-4 defensive scheme.
Redskins Unlikely To Target Owens
There had been rumors that the Redskins could target wide receiver Terrell Owens, but the Washington Post doesn't buy into the reports.
Santana Moss could face discipline for his link to Canadian doctor Anthony Galea, which was the basis for the Owens rumors.
There is an outside chance that the NFL could suspend Moss, even though he's yet to face any legal issues.
Westbrook May Have New Team Soon

Santana Moss Received HGH From Galea
Redskins wide receiver Santana Moss received HGH from Canadian doctor Anthony Galea, two sources told the Washington Post.
Galea was charged with smuggling and distributing human growth hormone on Tuesday.
"I'll talk about football. I don't know about nothing else," Moss said Wednesday. "I ain't got nothing to do with nothing that ain't about me."
Human growth hormone is among the banned substances in the NFL and it's possible that players could face suspensions without having tested positive.
Redskins Still Considering Westbrook

Specifically, Shanahan said that Westbrook is still "under consideration" to be signed by the team.
