In response to "I guess he doesn't like the playoffs." by the wrong element, bad guy

I love Haynesworth, but I'm perfectly happy seeing him sign elsewhere for that much.

You may recall I said about a month ago this is the type of contract I expected him to get. If he's on best behavior, he's worth it. If he regresses, it's a disaster. I think it will be the former, but now that he has $40 million in the bank, who knows?

Responses:

I wouldn't have paid him, but it looks like the way Snyder is going to play the uncapped year the risk is only to his bank account, not the team -- nm - Stewie Feb 28, 15:40 11
- Where does Snyder's money come from? Any risk with the downturn? -- nm - Beaker Feb 28, 15:50 10
  - The Redskins and the Cowboys are the 2 teams praying the Cap goes away - Will Hunting Feb 28, 16:26
  - No risk at all, the season ticket waiting list is 100,000+ names and the area has a lot of expendable income - Stewie Feb 28, 15:58 5
    - Yeah, most likely if you took worldwide values of sports teams, it'd go some combo of Skins/ManU/Cowboys. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 28, 16:28 3
      - + Yankees -- nm - Stewie Feb 28, 16:33 2
        
        Yeah, the new stadium will push them up to the 1.5bil range - Will Hunting Feb 28, 16:37 1
        
        Here's the #'s from this January; they're 5th worldwide - Will Hunting Feb 28, 16:38
    - Also, the team value is double the $750 mil he paid for it in '99 -- nm - Stewie Feb 28, 15:59
  - The Redskins and Cowboys are 1/2 in the league in revenue. Salary expense is never an issue for them. - David Feb 28, 15:52 2
    - well, except for the whole return on investment in his players side of the equation -- nm - prayformojo Feb 28, 15:54 1
      - Touche. -- nm - David Feb 28, 15:55
I just fear what this could mean for Ngata in the future. - the wrong element, bad guy Feb 28, 15:37 6
- Ngata could wind up getting $18-$20M annually if the cap goes. -- nm - David Feb 28, 16:11 1
  - goes? like baseball? - Stewie Feb 28, 16:30
- It means "no worries". -- nm - Reagen Feb 28, 15:38 3
  - That's a problem-free philosophy. -- nm - TFox Feb 28, 15:41 2
    - thanks you for walking down that path - Reagen Feb 28, 15:42 1
      - Man, there's no one saying stop that. No one saying see here. - TFox Feb 28, 15:45
