Hopefully, fans of the Washington Redskins are good multitaskers. Because on the first day of free agency, the team's supporters find themselves both rejoicing and scratching their heads.
The long-rumored deal with Albert Haynesworth got done, with the All-Pro defensive tackle inking a contract reportedly worth $100 million over seven years, with $41 mil guaranteed. There are questions about how much desire Haynesworth will bring to the table after being paid so handsomely, but there's little question that if he plays up to his potential, he'll live up to the contract as much as any player could.
Meanwhile, NFL observers from coast to coast are doing a collective spit-take over the money the Skins gave DeAngelo Hall...reported as $54 million over six years, including a whopping $22.5 million guranteed. This for a guy that couldn't even last the 2008 season on a Raiders team that paid a major price tag just to be rid of him. Yes, Hall played better football in a half-season with Washington last year, but he's a terrible teammate, has a notoriously bad attitude, and is prone to being beaten deep as any cornerback in the league. Mark my words...the Redskins will live to regret this move.
