After signing a seven-year, $100 million deal with the Redskins in 2009, Haynesworth showed up to camp overweight and out of shape, and he clashed with the coaching staff over the team’s defensive scheme. By the end of 2010, the Redskins were done with Haynesworth’s act. He was suspended for the final four games of the season and then traded to the New England Patriots. The Redskins received only a future fifth-round pick. Haynesworth made almost $50 million from Washington. He had 6.5 sacks in 20 games.
