NFL Free Agency - Haynewsorth to RedskinsMr. Haynesworth Goes To...Washington?!I'm glad that something absolutely ludicrous happened in the NFL. Seriously. All we keep hearing about is recession-this, recession-that. I'm not trying to be insensitive. I'm pinching whatever pennies I can get my grubby hands on these days. But when the Redskins are throwing out $154 million in free-agency to two players, on the first day alone, it's just left me wondering how on Earth this effects the NFL landscape. Albert Haynesworth, the most coveted player on the open market, has hit NFL pay dirt by signing a huge $100 million contract to play for the freaking Washington Redskins. I mean, to put this in perspective, I'd do nearly anything that my Mother wouldn't be embarrassed about for $100 big ones over the course of seven years, but I have to wonder if this is the best place for Haynesworth. The Redskins are just +1600 to win the NFC Championship this NFL betting season. To put that in perspective, the Giants are +450 (without Plaxico) and even crumbling Dallas Cowboys are +500 with Tony Romo as their quarterback. Does anybody really believe that Washington has a chance at a Superbowl in this, or any other upcoming NFL season?

All things considered, the Redskins ranked 6th in points against with 18.6 put up against them per game. They also had a top-10 rush defense, giving up only 95.4 yards against on the ground. Haynesworth will go a long way in maintaining those averages. With Jason Taylor returning, and DeAngelo Hall also being in the mix, you can expect Washington's defense to do big things. But can the offense really be expected to keep up? Clinton Portis can't get through a season without breaking a leg or hurting his shoulder. Jason Campbell posted an 84.3 quarterback rating, throwing just 13 touchdowns against 6 pick. But if you're going to blow the bank this early in free-agency, shouldn't the Redskins be getting some - oh I don't know - receivers who can catch the freaking football? Santana Moss and Chris Cooley accommodated for nearly 2000 receiving yards, but only 7 touchdowns. Moss proved yet again that he can be a game breaker when required, but the fact remains that the Redskins had trouble scoring through the air. When Portis went down, they had trouble scoring at all. I don't care how well you play defense. The offense needs to produce in turn. Click here to bet on Super Bowl XLIV or check out the 2010 Super Bowl Betting Odds! I'm not saying that Haynesworth isn't worth the price of admission. He's a game changing tackle that can affect the game all by himself. But paying DeAngelo Hall $54 million is like paying $80,000 for a brand new Civic. Sure the car is fast, but it can't handle or do anything fancy. And that's just what you get with Hall. He's crazy fast, but not much else. He doesn't understand coverage, and you could tell in Oakland when he was getting out performed across the field by Nnamdi Asomugha. But signing Hall to a lucrative deal, along with busting the wallet on Haynesworth is typical Snyder-ball in Washington. Everyone is getting cost-conscience in the credit crunch. The Bucs shed payroll by cutting one of their All-Time greats. The Ravens are hesitating on one of the best linebackers to play the game. Indy cut ties with Marvin Harrison, and the Bengals might lose Chad Whatever-The-Hell-Your-Last-Name-Is-Anymore and T.J. I-Could-Never-Spell-Your-Name-Right-Anyways. Frugal spending might be the key to saving your NFL franchise down the road as the recession increases it's sinister stranglehold. Spending like this might not only cripple the franchise down the road, it might also severely hurt their chances of winning the Superbowl this season. The Redskins' betting faithful have been warned.
