    SUMMARY: The Tennessee Titans and Albert Haynesworth were only $2 million apart during negotiations last July. The Titans offered a four-year contract worth roughly $32 million. "I was like, 'I'll take four years for $34 million' and they were like, 'Nope,'" Haynesworth said. "I was like, 'If you move a million here or there I'll take that,' and they were like, 'Nope.' It was frustrating, but I almost took it. I look at it now and I'm happy I didn't. I can now set up all my family and their kids with what I got. It worked out pretty well, I guess." One week ago the two-time All-Pro signed a seven-year, $100 million contract with the Redskins.

    If that were true that would blow my mind.


    2 million to keep Al from the market and be a Titan??? Wow..8.5 million a year seems like a steal now.

    I can't even remember who he went to now. He'll probably do nothing to ever remind me, either.

    Yeah, that 2 million was the whole difference in being able to setup his family and their kids. Yeah right...there is the greed bone sticking right out his neck for all to see...

    weren't the Titans and Eddie George only $300,000 apart ?
    didn't we have the high bid on some WR free agents

    sounds like our negotiator has issues with closing the deal
