Albert Haynesworth to the redskins

Earlier today the Washington Redskins signed Albert Haynesworth the defensive tackle who played for the Tennessee Titans to a 100 million dollar contract for seven years. The Redskins were in dire need for a new Defensive lineman since the ones they have now are getting old. They needed more penetration and a stronger push to stop the run and get to the Qb. Haynesworth is exactly what they needed, being voted to the probowl twice now and having 14.5 sacks over the past two seasons he is going to help the Redskins D-line greatly in the 2009-2010 season. The 100 million dollar deal is the largest amount any defensive player has ever been payed in the NFL. Hopefully Haynesworth will show as much talent in Washington as he did in Tennessee. This deal was one among many others in the first couple days of the free agency and the Redskins didnt hesitate at all in signing him. Other players signed were Fred Taylor former RB for the Jaguars was signed to the Patriots, also Kellen Winslow TE for the Browns was signed to the Bucanneers, and Jabar Gaffney Wr for the Patriots was signed to the Denver broncos. The Denver Broncos also signed the safety for the Miami Dolphins and there was word they were talking to Eagles Safety as well, Brian Dawkins.
