I didnt know aobut this until 20 minutes ago. This may very well be the most likely scenario for AH and the skins.

Cap and cash accounting
The other reason deals with accounting. The Redskins initially structured the bulk of the bonus money in the contract – $21 million of the $26M total – in the form of an option bonus to keep the cash and cap hit on the deal out of 2009, the last capped year of the Collective Bargaining Agreement (CBA) and a year when, as has often been the case, the Redskins were snug against the cap.
Now that the Redskins got through 2009 into uncapped 2010, they used their contractually negotiated supersede right to turn the option into signing bonus.
And as part of the renegotiation, the Redskins added a clause allowing Haynesworth to void the contract after next season and walk away, having pocketed over $24M from the team in two years.
Haynesworth can now void the remaining years of the deal after 2010 if – and only if – he returns four-fifths of the $21M he is now receiving, or $16.8M. Of course, he’ll only do that if he finds a team willing to pay him more than that a year from now, which would require some serious tampering discussions. He likely will not have the money to void it anyway since it may be spent by this time next year.

Under my conspiracy theory that AH wants a new contract with a new team; if he really wants it, he can have it.

So he gets paid 24 mil for 2 seasons with the skins. Not a bad pay day and he can go on to sign with another team.

Do we get a comp pick if AH voids the contract after this year and signs with another team?
