The Washington Redskins have made a blockbuster move; by purchasing all pro defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth, formally of the Tennessee Titans. Within the first few hours of being a free agent, six teams dropped their deals like candy, but it was the ‘Skinsoffer he couldn’t refuse.
The agreement reached was a seven year contract for $100 million, which includes $41 million in guarantees. Also, within the first 13 months of the contract, he will receive around $32 million. Honestly, that is just too much to let down. This is one of the richest deals in NFL history.
Apparently, out of the six teams, Haynesworth and his agent, Chad Speck, had to choose between the Redskins or the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. Although, the Buccaneers have more capital, the Redskins were more aggressive in wanting to sign him, which might have been a huge factor in his decision making.
The ‘Skins not just only signed Haynesworth, they also added cornerback DeAngelo Hall, formally of the Oakland Raiders and Atlanta Falcons, back to their roster. His deal is for six years at the price of $54 million. The Redskins have a reputation of making massive money signings, especially their ownerDan Snyder. Last year they didn’t make any free agent purchases, which might have led them to not have a great NFL season.
In the end, this might actually work for them. Bettering the roster with key players is always important for any team. Even though the Redskins haven’t had a great NFL season for quite some time, this could be their chance to shine. They have won the Super Bowl before and they can do it again. Take this team into great consideration for the next time you place your bets for this coming NFL season.
