my personal and strongly held belief re AH and the reason he signed with us ..
he accepted the skins contract bc it was front loaded w guaranteed money, then it became an avg contract.
i believe AH and his agent took the skins contract w the intent of forcing the skins cut/release/trade him after 2 years so he could sign another big guaranteed contract before riding off into the sunset.

The package includes $41 million in guarantees -- the highest total in league history -- and
Haynesworth is ensured of receiving about $32 million in the first 13 months of the contract, which was finalized shortly after agent Chad Speck phoned Haynesworth at around 3:45 a.m.

the mistake was front loading the guaranteed money to a fat lazy guy who had no passion or integrity.
what incentive did AH have to stick around here after 13 months?
he certainly did his best to force his departure.
