Haynesworth to Start Work Monday

Jason Reid reports:

New Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth -- the NFL's highest-paid defensive player -- plans to participate in the team's offseason conditioning program beginning Monday at Redskins Park, his agent said today.

Haynesworth, who lives year-round at his homes in Nashville and Knoxville, Tenn., is eager to begin the next chapter of his career, said his representative, Chad Speck. The Redskins lured Haynesworth from Tennessee with a seven-year, $100-million contract that could be worth as much as $115 million based on his performance.

The package includes a NFL record $41 million in guaranteed money, and Haynesworth is assured of receiving $32 million in the first 13 months of the contract.

It is important to owner Daniel Snyder and Vinny Cerrato, Washington's executive vice president of football operations, to have the team's high-profile players involved in the program at the complex to build "team chemistry," Cerrato said recently. The Redskins released Pro Bowl defensive end Jason Taylor because he balked at Snyder's request to have a workout clause added to his contract. Haynesworth and cornerback DeAngelo Hall, who re-signed with the team minutes before the free agent market opened, have workout clauses in their contracts, Cerrato said.[/quote]

Good for him, I'm glad he's starting things with the Redskins on the right foot.

LOL. Oh hindsight, how you make me laugh. I'm not trying to beat the dead horse here, I was just looking for some comic relief about how wrong we all were about Haynesworth. And oh how I found it.

From now on I will take an unsupportive approach of whatever free agents we sign, especially those lacking in character, or w/e other reason, until they prove on the field that they are worth all the money the Redskins pay them. I'm completely sure in future years everybody in the NFL will regard the Haynesworth signing as along the exact same lines of Bruce Smith, Mark Carrier, Deion Sanders signings of a decade ago.

[quote=skinsfan69;531007]I'm 100% not in favor of this move. History shows that these type of moves rarely pan out. Haynesworth has already played 7 years and has a history of getting hurt and has questionable character. The only good thing about this is that we didn't have to give up draft picks. Another bad move by the FO.[/quote]

I should be a freakin GM and they can pay me half the money.

[quote=12thMan;531787]I too was impressed with Haynesworth's presser. Boy, is the NFC East going to be nasty once again this year.[/quote]

Yeah it's nasty alright. Like old rotting garbage nasty.:spank:

It looks like almost all of the WP is going to be eating a lot of crow in this thread. Can anyone go back and find a post in here where they said AH was a bad investment? Its time for you to be applauded for sound judgement. :rofl:

Honestly though this had disaster written all over it. Never ever give a bad character guy big money.

Page 13 of this thread.

"Don't want Haynesworth at all. I think it would be a huge mistake."

In that quote I am pointing out that I had in fact predicted that AH would be a Redskin and that was several days before we actually did sign him.

Thumbs up for wilsowilso.

Then again I did start a thread calling Jim Zorn a great coach before the start of last season.

Then again I did say Brady Quinn was going to be a flat out bust before he was drafted.

Then again I did start the "Tom the Iceman Brady" thread many years ago in which I stated that guy is the best football player I have ever seen. Period. I still like my argument on that one.

What are we talking about again?

Oh yeah that POS overgrown toddler. What a total joke that clown is.

Called it.

DRave, that is so funny! LOL. This thread is great.

Re: Albert Haynesworth is a Redskin!!!!
 

Brady kicks ass. By far the coolest customer in the NFL.
