After receiving more than 30 telephone calls and e-mails Tuesday from members of the Washington media regarding a potential deal between his client and the Redskins, Albert Haynesworth's agent, Chad Speck, felt the need to publicly address the situation. "Albert is not allowed to have a deal with another team, and he doesn't have a deal with another team," Speck e-mailed Tuesday night. "We continue to keep the lines of communication open with Tennessee. The rumors suggesting that a deal is in place between Albert and the Washington Redskins are completely false." What is true is that the Redskins are one of a handful of teams that will have interest in Haynesworth. But for whoever signs him, it isn't going to cheap. Haynesworth widely is expected to become the highest-paid defensive player in NFL history, with a deal that will defy today's economic hardships and send tremors around the league. The deal could wind up including a signing bonus in the vicinity of $40 million dollars. Washington will have interest. But so will Detroit, Tampa Bay, Tennessee and others.

He liked to stomp the Cowboy players in the face literally, so he was destined to become a Redskin..
