Haynesworth: Fat and Unhappy (and Filthy Stinking Rich)

Free agency has come and gone. The NFL draft has passed by as well. But Albert Haynesworth has decided that now, in June where nobody will trade a Canadian nickel for him, that he no longer wants to be a Redskin. Haynesworth alleges that promises about where he would play and what type of scheme he would play in have been broken. I'm sorry, but for $100 million, you can break just about any promise you can make to me.

Haynesworth is unhappy about the direction the team is moving in. One year removed from his record-setting contract. Not to beat a dead horse, but for $100 million, you can move me in any direction you want. New defensive coordinator Jim Haslett is transitioning the Redskins defense from a 4-3 to a 3-4, which means Haynesworth would have to become a nose tackle. Okay, that's something to be annoyed about. But said his agent: "The Redskins are trying to establish a new regime with new schemes at Redskins Park, and it is not an organization that Albert would have ever been attracted to just a short year ago - regardless of the money." Regardless of the money? What else would have brought him here in the first place? The wimpy unenergetic coach? The two decades worth of mediocrity? Ben's Chili Bowl?

Dan Steinberg breaks down Fat Albert's earnings with the Redskins. Per snap, he made over $55,000. Per snap. I'm sure many of us don't make that much in a good year. Redskins fans don't know whether to kick him to the curb for the cheap late round draft picks we're likely to get for him, or to eat the salary cap and have him sit on the bench festering so that no one will ever want him again.

Congrats, Fat Albert. You have officially joined the overpaid under performing ranks of Heath Shuler, Sean Gilbert, Dana Stubblefield, Jeff George, and Adam Archuleta. Thanks for the 12 dissapointing games.
