“You’re not going to remember Albert Haynesworth as a bust.” – Albert Haynesworth, speaking of himself in third person after signing a seven-year, $100 million contract with the Washington Redskins as a free agent, February 28, 2009.
The Washington Redskins, who tried to get “fair value” for Haynesworth via trade for the past year, shipped him to the New England Patriots for a junior in college who might not make it in the NFL – also known as a 2013 fifth-round draft pick.
Not only will I remember Haynesworth as a bust, I’ll also remember him as a quitter thanks to this clip posted on YouTube late last season.
I have no idea what the Patriots see in Haynesworth but hey, it’s not my team’s problem to deal with.

If anybody can get something from Haynesworth, it will be Bill Belichick.
And to further add to the turmoil in New England, Chad Ochocinco is now a Patriot with a contract for 3 years.
The Hoodie has done it in the past with the likes of Moss, Dillon, et al, but to me there's something larger behind these 2 signings...I'm just not sure what it is yet. These are the best players available to fill needs? These are the players that are going to get the Pats over the hump and earn another trophy?
