Albert Haynesworth hit the free agent jackpot Friday morning by reaching a seven-year, $100 million deal with the Washington Redskins that could end up maxing out at at $115 million based on his performance, according to sources.
The deal, which was reached early Friday morning, includes $41 million in guarantees. During the first 13 months of the contract, Haynesworth will earn approximately $32 million.
Holy shit. I knew Hayensworth was the cream of the crop when it came to free agents this year, but I didn't know he would get this big of a deal. Hayensworth is a hell of a player and he can move a line and is also quick. He is a game changer and the Redskins defense just improved a lot. My only concern would be if Hayensworth is a guy who gets his contract then gets fat and happy. If Hayensworth doesn't lose his fire this signing will be amazing, however if he gets content now that he got paid, it will go down as another Redskins failure signing.
also, DeAngelo Hall accepted a six-year $54 million deal that included $22.5 million in guarantees, giving the 25-year-old cornerback his second big payday in as many years. Hall was guaranteed around $24 million in a seven-year, $70 million contract he signed a year ago with Oakland, but he struggled to adjust to the Raiders' man-to-man defense and was waived after eight games.
This move is a great move if Hall regains form, but as he proved last year he is a contract player. He will play a lot better when he is going into contract year rather than playing hard all the time. This was a big loss for the Patriots who were rumored to be intrigued by Hall.
