Where did you hear/read that Tampa offered more than $100M for Haynesworth last year?
What I've heard is that the only other serious offer he had was from Tennessee and it had a total value of $80-82M but also had things like weight clauses and other "penalty clauses" in it. The Skins outbid a contract that Haynesworth would never sign by about 25% demonstrating the great money management and fiscal responsibility we have come to recognize as typical of this franchise. Next time you go to FedEx Field and pay $35 to park your car, smile because you are helping to keep that beast of a DT - who plays hard about half the time - here in DC.
Haynesworth came here for the $$$. Like it or not, that is why 90% of the free agents who sign here do that. Right after Portis signed, he said that he got calls from some of his buds from "The U" and he told them to have their agents contact Danny Boy so they could get paid like he got paid.
Here is a rule that holds true at least 95% of the time when it comes to free agents in sports today:
It is ALWAYS about the money
