However, if Cerrato can be beleived, then it gives me hope that Hyanesworth is not all about the money. He's getting a ton of money, but he wanted to come somewhere:

1) In the spotlight. Haynesworth certainly wouldnt want to be in the spotlight if he had the intention of being a lazy SOB who didnt try.

2) Where he feels he has a chance to win.

Perhaps Haynesworth will play at - or above - the level he did in Tennessee for the next 2-3 years. It certainly sounds like we plan on using him sparingly. Cerrato said he anticipated Haynesworth to participate in 55-60% of the plays here, and that we plan to move him all over the line.

BHA, If a 100M isnt all about the money, I dont know what is. I think coming to the Redskins probably gave him the most guaranteed money.

1) In the spotlight. Haynesworth certainly wouldnt want to be in the spotlight if he had the intention of being a lazy SOB who didnt try

He's in the spotlight wherever he goes.

I do agree with point 2 He definatly has a good chance of winning here. If he smells a Super Bowl in our near future well there's some more. $$$

With that said, I hope he is a beast for us. I'm not questioning his character as a football player but only stating the obvious, he's a great businessman as well as a player.

If I could pick any team to play on in a uncapped year, it would be the Skins.
As I said before I'm Happy and scared at the same time with this move.
