Oh no doubt. I'm glad they're overpaying him. He's just not worth it, that's all.

Absolutely. Haynesworth has been the best at his position the last 2 years and will have an immediate impact. He's earned it and will continue to do so. Throwing money at Eli doesn't make him any better. But really I couldn't care less what the Giants do with their money. Good move. Congratulations.

You're a funny dude Giantone. It's a shame you're a Giants fan. We all have character defects I guess. If you ever want to leave the darkside, you're welcome here.

At least Haynesworth is without question the best player in the league at his position. Can't say that about Eli. Not even close really.

yeahhhh righttttt, Eli has started 72 games straight.Oh all of Alberts seasons how many times has he played a whole 16(straight) games,and the quote "he is the best at his position" ...well maybe he was the best avaliable at the time ,I agree with that.
1. Kevin Williams - Minnesota Vikings

94 games started, 42.5 sacks, 4 INTs, 5 forced fumbles, 4 TDs, 223 tackles, *4-time Pro Bowler and All-Pro

Kevin Williams is without question the very best defensive tackle in the entire NFL.
....and has only mised 2 games in his whole career.

Kevin Williams has a decent claim at best DT in the league, but given that from 2005-2007 that he was the second best DT on his own team, I'm inclined to believe that Haynesworth is the more dominant of the two.

I think Kevin passed Pat last year as best 'Williams' on the Vikings, but I think most would agree that Haynesworth is more dominant, if a little less durable.

Thank you. Having Giants fans on a Redskins board is funny enough. Having Giants fans with such limited football knowledge is even funnier.

We should not forget that Eli's contract is a long one and wages go up every year. By the end of the deal Eli likely will not be close to being the best-paid qb because other contracts will have surpassed his by then.

So you think this is the only place that other teams fans come and exchange opinions and express thoughts?So there are no Skins fans on any Giant boards...or Eagle or Cowboys?
