milksteak Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Has there ever been a bigger FA bust than this dude? Redskins paid him 32M over 2 years. He had one peak contract year and quit. It made Clinton Portis lose his passion for football. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Starkiller Posted April 5, 2020 Popular Post Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Albert was arguably the best DLineman in NFL history... when he bothered to put the effort into it. But he was a fucking lazy POS who never even tried that hard if it wasn’t a contract year. woolfolksunclesuncle, OILERMAN, NashvilleNinja, and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

OzTitan Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 (edited) It seemed like Portis was trying to avoid naming him directly, kept referring to an unamed "teammate", but screwed up and finished with "no disrespect to Albert Haynesworth", caught himself, then added "or anyone else", lol.

nine Posted April 5, 2020 Report Share Posted April 5, 2020 Whenever someone talks about NFL players who don't like football, Haynesworth is always the first name I think of. It's no secret that he didn't like the game.....maybe even hated it. But he was exceptionally good at it and it paid far more than any other job that was available. I don't necessarily think it makes Haynesworth a terrible person. He was just one of millions of people who work jobs they hate.....and most of them make far less money than NFL players.

His body was falling apart and he knew it. Get paid. If ever there were a bust, it would be Snyder as an owner. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is a certain amount of smarts to getting paid and just getting out but it's def slimy and your rep is destroyed prometheus 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Of all the questionable things in football that Haynesworth did, I don't think faking an injury would be the thing that tarnishes his character.

He was already labeled one of the dirtiest players in the league after the head stomping, etc. The league and all the fans knew he was never really motivated by the game itself. He wanted to get paid, he got paid. He knew exactly what he was doing. Winning a ring would probably be the only thing that he could possibly do to raise his rep and that would only be for the fanbase of the team he won it with. rns90 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

He put together two absolutely dominant seasons back to back, that rep got him a monster contract. Had he lived up to the Skins contract and kept that level of play we'd be talking HOF instead of him being a joke japan, woolfolksunclesuncle, Starkiller, and 3 others 6 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not particularly caring for football isn't even something that's an offense except for someone overly concerned with someone else's life preferences. Cleating someone in the face though? Turning into a fat, lazy slob piece of shit after suckering a team into giving you a king's ransom? Yeah, those types things make you a terrible person.
