As the 2009 NFL free agency signing period began, the Washington Redskins wasted no time improving their defense. Mere hours after re-signing defensive back DeAngelo Hall to a new deal, the Skins signed a player many felt was the most coveted free agent available on the market this offseason — former Tennessee Titans defensive tackle Albert Haynesworth. In doing so, NFL history was made on two levels because Albert is now the league’s first $100 million defensive player. He signed a seven-year, $100 million deal. That includes $41 million guaranteed in the first three years so he will also be the record-breaker for most guaranteed money ever given to any NFL player.
