How ignorant is Albert Haynesworth? If you remember, he inexplicably was given a 7-year $100M contract (not that he’ll see all of that) from the Washington Redskins a year ago as a Defensive Tackle. Not even an End. A Tackle (Daniel Snyder is a special guy). He played for them one year (last year) then about a month ago, he made a big deal about how the team was going to change their defensive schemes a bit under new head coach, Mike Shanahan. He didn’t agree with this and said that he would not report to camp under these circumstances. I was in absolute disbelief when I heard that. But then he got over it and decided to report to camp. Fat and out of shape.  After all of that, this man failed a conditioning test…twice.

His initial beef was that he agreed to leave Tennessee for the nation’s capital only because they told him they would play a 4-3 defense. They’ve switched to a 3-4 and he demanded a trade. I’m glad he got over it. If he’s supposed to be an elite D-Lineman, he should be able to thrive in any system. I don’t know about you, but $100M means elite to me. Apparently he isn’t because, like I said, he decided not to attend the Redskins offseason workouts and minicamp.

He finally decided to report on Wednesday and he was told he’d have to pass a conditioning test in order to participate in practice. He took it and flunked it. He took it again yesterday, and flunked again. So let me get this straight. You mean to tell me that the whole time while he was crying about them moving to a 3-4, he was home eating cheeseburgers and pork rinds? You can’t be serious. Isn’t there a clause in that ridiculous salary that punishes him for not reporting to camp in shape? There needs to be. Man, Haynesworth look bad right now. Really bad.
