This is Peter King's take on the Haynewsorth contract:

Haynesworth, barring a miracle, will never see the fifth year of the contract. In essence, he signed a four-year, $48-million contract Friday with the taterskins. That will carry him through his 11th season, in 2012 (barring a work stoppage in 2011, which is a real possibility). Here is the real contract:


Year Signing Bonus Option Bonus Salary

2009 $5 million -- $6 million

2010 -- $21 million $3.6 million

*2011 -- -- $5.4 million

2012 -- -- $7.2 million

Totals: four years, $48.2 million.



The asterisk is for an additional $1 million he could earn in an offseason workout bonus before camp.

The seven-year deal calls for Haynesworth to earn $29 million in 2013, $10.8 million in 2014 and $12 million in 2015.

I am reminded of players in Washington who were scheduled to make far less and who never made it to the pay window in the later years of their contracts. Deion Sanders signed a seven-year, $56-million deal with Washington in 2000, and lasted one year. Adam Archuleta and Brandon Lloyd similarly busted in 2006.

The last three years of the Haynesworth deal are agent recruiting years. They have no bearing on reality.

$12 mill for four years is a pretty good deal for that dude.

Then really this is a 1 year/ $11 million deal. With the $21 million option bonus in 2010 they can trade or release him if he's a problem, or more importantly if the league and union renegotiate a cap for 2010. This assumes there isn't a huge signing bonus.

Jason Reid and Jason La Canfora, of The Washington Post, report Washington taterskins DL Jason Taylor was miscast in the team's defensive scheme last season, according to team sources. The team's scheme has relied on stopping the run above all else, which is not considered one of Taylor's strengths. Taylor lacked the freedom to simply blitz upfield and attack any gap he pleased. The taterskins have discussed ways to better use Taylor during their offseason meetings. He is expected to have greater freedom next season, team sources said.

yeah, looks like greater freedom

They were in trade talks with Miami for him last season


Wonder if the Skins are gonna make a play for Peppers

[PhillyPhreak54]

Do they have enough to trade for Peppers?

I'd take Taylor.

Also, Cerrato wasted another pick.

[Diomedes]

No on Taylor.  He's done.

[MDS]

waiting for the final word from easy...

[reese125]

on Haynesworth:

He talked about the negotiations with the taterskins and said he could have gotten more money from another suitor, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He said the Bucs offered $42 million guaranteed and the New York Giants had a package in the $80-$85 million range on the table.

damn--how sick would that d-line of been

taterskinS SIGN PUNTER DIRK JOHNSON

LOUDOUN COUNTY, VA – The Washington taterskins announced today that they have signed punter Dirk Johnson. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.

Johnson played in 12 games for Arizona last season, averaging 41.8 yards on 40 punts, with a net average of 35.2. He dropped 13 punts inside the 20-yard line, compared to just four touchbacks.

The 6-foot, 210-pound Johnson spent the majority of his career in Philadelphia, where he was the team's primary punter for four seasons (2003-06). Johnson punted in all 16 games for the Eagles during the 2003, 2004 and 2006 seasons and also played in the first seven games of 2005 before suffering a groin strain and being placed on injured reserve. Johnson also handled the punting duties in seven postseason games for Philadelphia, including Super Bowl XXXIX against New England.

In addition to his seasons in Philadelphia and Arizona, Johnson played one game each for New Orleans in 2002 and Chicago in 2007. For his career, he has played in 69 regular season games and averaged 41.7 yards on 320 punts, with a net average of 35.9.

The Montrose, Colo., native was a three-time Division II All-America selection (1995-97) at Northern Colorado. The 33-year-old was born June 1, 1975.
