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

beast (8-Aug) : It's a brand new rule, either last season or this season, prior, all pre-season IRs were done for the season

beast (8-Aug) : But the Packers would have to use one for their return from IR spots on him, when they cut down to 53.

beast (8-Aug) : I think the NFL recently changed the IR rules, so maybe the season might not be over for OL Glover.
