Report: Redskins to sign Haynesworth

Citing a "very well-connected league source," Lance Zierlein of the Houston Chronicle reports that Albert Haynesworth will sign with the Redskins at the start of free agency unless the Titans swoop in late.

Zierlein, the son of Steelers OL coach Larry Zierlein, has a blog at Chron.com and does a radio show. His source says Haynesworth will get a deal totaling roughly $100 million that pays $15-16 million annually. Zierlein doesn't usually report and it's hard to see how the Skins will fit him under the salary cap, but this is the kind of megadeal Haynesworth is seeking. Feb. 24 - 1:44 pm et

Also, Peter King and Sean Salisbury were on XM radio saying it's a done deal.

I know it's a lot of money but if he doesn't turn into a Sean Gilbert then it should be a good signing.

"It's a done deal"????

And this isn't tampering...how exactly?

[VA Panther Fan]

Redskins toss big money at a free agent?

shocking.

[slumdogmillionaire]

So will Peppers get more than Haynesworth?

[carpanfan96]

My question is how they've already talked with him, that's against league rules, second they don't have enough cap room for that deal. Who the heck are they going to cut to get him.

[VA Panther Fan]

Whatever they do to get under the cap, that pretty much precludes them from re-signing Deangelo Hall.

[slumdogmillionaire]

Fid....how did they get DeAngelo Hall from the Raiders? Did they trade away picks last year?

[VA Panther Fan]

Raiders cut Hall; Skins signed him to a deal to finish out the year.

Epic Fail Redskins.

LMAO come on guys there is no such thing as tampering anymore. The league knows it goes on. Unless you are stupid enough to contact a player directly, San fran I believe, then it is going to go under the radar.

That said, this is nothing more than Gilbert II. He played hard in a contract year. He was good, but not 100 mill good the other years.

As for as peppers, well, who knows.

This is such a classic skins move - now watch the guy cash that check and then roll over and die, LOL

and the only team that it could better happen to is the cowboys,.

[TerriblePizza]

Skins will be 7-9 at best next year. I guarantee.

Clayton just said on NFL Live that there are a bunch of teams lined up and there's no telling where he'll end up...
