Merch and ticket sales are going to be pretty consistent regardless of who is wearing a Skins jersey.

How much additional revenue do you think could be directly tied to Haynesworth being a Redskin? Would that revenue ever justify the price of the contract, let alone show in a profit?

IDK but I find it hard to beleive someone is not tracking the ROI on a $100 million purchase.

Even if they are I can't believe AH's merch sales would come anywhere near justifying the contract. That's just not a sound investment if that's what they are thinking.

Merch sales are just a piece of the revenue pie, he still has a lot of club seats for sale and AH type signing creates a buzz that helps move the sale of those seats.

I will say it again you don't sign a AH type contract thinking you are losing money. AH creates wins/buzz and wins/buzz help fuel the revenue machine.

Other than individual jersey sales how can you accurately attribute anything to a player move?
