Skins make Haynesworth a $100 million man

Posted: Adam Schefter, News | Adam Schefter | Tags: Albert Haynesworth, Washington Redskins

Football has its first $100 million defensive player.

Defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth reached agreement Friday on a seven-year, $100 million - yes, $100 million! - record-breaking deal with the Washington Redskins.

The Redskins have scheduled a press conference Friday at 5 p.m. ET, assuming Haynesworth passes his physical.

The deal includes $41 million guaranteed in the first three years, and the maximum value of the deal could be $115 million. It is the richest contract ever given to a player and includes more guaranteed money than in any contract in NFL history.

And just like that, football has its first $100 million defensive player.

Just a small article, to thought I'd post it completely.

This might be one of the pieces that the Redskins where missing... and they seem to feel the same way about that as I do. I mean, this is a huge signing, especially if you consider that they already gave Hall a big deal.

Now lets see how long he can stay healthy.

Why didn't Ted Thompson out bid the redskins????

/sarcasm

That is ridiculous money. Why is it always the same teams that spend the ungodly amounts on FA?

The world needs ditch diggers too Danny!!!

I was reading a Redskin forum last night. Snyder's nickname has evolved from Boy-Wonder to Boy-Blunder. I like that. So it was written, so it shall be. :thumbleft:

This move will be looked back an laughed upon.. if Haynesworth can get in trouble in TN, imagine the ruckus that he can cause in DC.

Glad they over paid him... wanted nothing to do with him in GB.

Now if the Cowboys or someone desperate will pull the trigger on the Peppers trade.. me not want Peppers in GB for the money he will want and complain about.

This is bad for the league and stupid. NFL network says this deal is worth as much as 115 million. How in the hell does this even happen? Even most of their own fans are completely disgusted with the way Boy Blunder goes about trying to buy a contender. Thanks to this kind of shit, plan on paying more for that ticket, hot dog, beer, etc. I cannot stand that friggin' twerp. His stadium sucks also. Now I get to listen to the foreskin fanatics at the bar wax poetic about Mr. head-stomper and the GD skins for an entire off-season. Peachy.

All double entendre's are intentional... :thumbleft:

Here is the thing... it has 31 million dollars paid out in what 16 months.. and a guaranteed 41 million total.. Haynesworth will never see the back end of this deal..

But I agree, this is a bad contract because the guaranteed monies keep going up, and pretty soon it will be like Basketball or Baseball where franchises will have to eat all this dead guaranteed money.. that will be the curse of the small market teams.

Players are going to push the guaranteed front on contract in the next CBA, the franchises are going to resist them, and I think that will be one of the major holdups in the CBA, maybe even a lynch pin for a strike / lock out..

The owners are painting themselves into a corner on this issue, and we the fans are going to pay the price in the end. Again.

...And the friggin' NFLPA uses OUR numbers in their negotiations, no doubt citing us as a "small-market" team, and further extrapolating/manipulating the numbers to the "big" franchises.

We are being penalized for being A: a public entity, and B: Well-run. Here is my one consolation:

My buddy parks his rear in his nose-bleed seats in Landover, having paid a hundred dollars to park his car. The beer man comes by and he orders one, forking over another hundred dollars. The hot dog man comes by, nicking him for another fifty.

Hail to the Redskins, Motherf...

I would also like to point out that the Redskins have laid off at least 33 employees since the beginning of the year, including John Jefferson, PLUS their salary cap analyst--- citing the poor economy as the rationale for the layoffs.

Sure, Dan

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : NFL thought it would get more attention week preceding Super Bowl.

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Yes, the Pro Bowl. It was played Sunday before Super Bowl from 2010-2022

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : pro bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : From 2010 to 2022, it was played on the Sunday before the Super Bowl

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : They moved it to the BYE week before Super Bowl several years ago.

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : it was always after the SB.....

beast (10-Feb) : Though I stop following pro bowl years ago

beast (10-Feb) : I thought the pro game was before the Super Bowl?

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : ok now for the Pro Bowl Game in Hawaii

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : If I was Philly I would try to end it instead of punting it

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : VICTORY! We have (moral) victory!

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Hey they mentioned that we 3-peted

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : seems to me the 49ers should have traded Aiyuk when they had the chance

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : if the Eagles get it down to the 1, do they Tush Push or give it to Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : 49ers have a money problem if they want to sign their QB

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Wait for real? Didn't he just get an extension two years ago?

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : 49ers gonna trade Deebo. Interesting

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Replays always never seem to show the holdings

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Great throw by Hurts

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Where Carter falls prey to bad off the field influences (to be clear, not saying he'd clip someone though)

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Had Carter not gone to Philly were they already had a lot of old college friends, he ends up in a similar spot to Aaron Hernandez

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : I think some of his coaches told scouts to stay away

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : the street racing incident+conditioning and motivation problems

beast (10-Feb) : Then Carter was street racing, where the other car crashed and people died... and other teams were scared to pick Carter for some reason

beast (10-Feb) : I think the Saints traded up, giving their next year 1st to the Eagles, and then they sucked and Eagles got the 10th overall pick

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : wtf Barkley?

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : Getting Carter and Nolan Smith in the first round in 2023 was pretty darn good

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : for some reason i'm thinking of a draft where the Eagles where in the mid 20s and a top player fell all the way to them

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think so. I would need to look it up. Think it may have been Carolina's pick.

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : i'm not sure who i'm thinking of now

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : oh fuck me i messed that up

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Jordan Davis was 13th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Carter was 9th overall

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles had 15th and 10th selections, moved to 13 and 9 to get Davis and Carter back to back

Zero2Cool (10-Feb) : Eagles traded up for Carter, didn't they?

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Obviously he was a huge risk but getting a top 5 talent on the dline in the mid 20s is fortuitous

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : Jalen Carter falling into their lap certainly helps

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : And we could only wish to have this type of D

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : It's not like Philly has had low draft picks, but has managed to get themselves a top notch pass rush. We spend so much draft capital of D

packerfanoutwest (10-Feb) : another crap halftime show

TheKanataThrilla (10-Feb) : I think it is over, but then I think of Atlanta and want Philly to go in with the same intensity in the second half

Mucky Tundra (10-Feb) : And with a Pass Rush that might as well be on a milk cartoon and no Jaire

Martha Careful (10-Feb) : I cant help but feel good about how well the Packers D played in Philly during the playoffs
