Some interesting news about the Bucs in an interview that Redskins defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth had on Sirius NFL Radio. Haynesworth, the biggest jewel in this season's free-agent crop, chose the Redskins over an offer from the Bucs, apparently giving up money to do so. Host Adam Schein asked if money was the No. 1 issue in him choosing the Redskins, and Haynesworth said "No, I could've made more money with Tampa Bay if I really wanted to. They offered me a whole lot more, and even with their tax situation, it could have been 20 percent more. But you look at Washington, they've got a lot of the pieces together. They're right there. They're in a huge market. It's one of the largest markets in the world. You've just got a large, huge media outlet and it can be life beyond football. Going to Tampa, I mean, great city. Looking at it from the off-season standpoint, I love the water. I love to be out in the sun. It's just awesome, but it would've been like another Nashville. Tampa doesn't have that big market and they don't have a huge fan base like the Washington Redskins do, so I think it was just a choice just to look at it that way." Source: St. Petersburg Times
This is one of the dumbest things I've heard in a long time...I heard it yesterday and laughed at the stupidity of that comment...
He's gonna look average in the NFL East All those line's are built for Power DT's. The AFC South's lines are small, more finness
i wouldnt say average....mortal maybe. not 100 million dollar man but a probowl level nonetheless. theres no DTs in that division that are like him so who knows what hes gonna look like consistantly. hes an elite talent and will disrupt regardless but hes better than bunkley, patterson, rat, canty(lol) and hes gonna be the best thing to ever happen to orakpo he wont look average, hes top 5 DL easy
I don't see what's stupid in this comment... :dontknow: He just explained the reasons of his choice. Could have been money, could have been proximity to home, could have been the coach, etc.
