NFL Offers Big Money in Free Agency

Albert Haynesworth scores a touchdown with a new 100 million dollar contract.  This tops the NFL free agent market so far, and will likely be the years largest contract.  Albert inks the deal with the Washington Redskins with 41 million guaranteed, the rest being distributed though-out a seven year contract.  This seems like a rather large amount given to a defensive tackle.  It is well known over the league the Redskins need help other places.  The offensive line would have been a good place to start if you ask me.  I find it hard to believe, as good of a player as Albert is, won't ever live up to the 100 million he will receive.  Even if he sees much success and he probably will, people will always say he could have done more.  There is almost an omen or curse that comes with signing these larger than life contracts.  People in New York are saying that A-Rod will never live up and I hope that Albert doesn't follow in his footsteps of the 100 million dollar men.
