The biggest prize (literally) in this year’s Free Agent class is off the market. Albert Haynesworth reached a deal early Friday morning with the Washington Redskins for a whopping seven years at $100 million, that could max out at $115 million and contains $41 million in guarantees.
How does this affect the Packers? It doesn’t. They weren’t a player in the Fat Albert sweepstakes and especially not after seeing the contract he got. Typical signing for the ‘Skins, now they just have to hope he keeps his head on straight and stay away from the buffet. Warning to all D.C. Metro Old Country Buffets, Albert Haynesworth is coming!
The Redskins were not done, as they also re-upped cornerback DeAngelo Hall with a deal to the tone of six years at $54 million, with $22.5 in guarantees. I guess they forgot what happened after Hall signed a big deal with Oakland last year.
That is about it for now, already a busier opening morning than last season. Keep an eye on the Titans, as Jim Wyatt of The Tennessean says former Cowboy Chris Canty is visiting the team, a player who would also look nice in green and gold.
