Hey Hey Hey, It's Fat (contract) Albert!

That's right Hogs fans, the Redskins fantasy football owner Daniel Snyder has opened his wallet, dug deep and signed now-former Tennessee Titans Defensive Tackle Albert Haynesworth to an astonishing 7 year, $100 million contract. I imagine little Danny was like a kid on Christmas Eve, bugging Vinny every hour if it was time to open the presents yet.

The team has scheduled a 5pm newsconference today to announce the acquisition. I'm just hoping that Mr. Haynesworth makes good on his promises to "prove the doubters wrong" after being signed to such a high paying contract.

If he continues his dominance as he showed last year, we're in good shape. But I'm reminded of some other high priced acquisitions that pretty much crapped the bed. Deion Sanders, Adam Archuleta, Brandon Lloyd, Dana Stubblefield, Mark Brunell, and the list goes on.

On the bright side, we also managed to lock up CB Deangelo Hall to a six-year $54 million dollar deal. This one will pay huge dividends going forward.

HTTR!
