Ring Ring.....
That's the sound of Albert Haynesworth's agent cell phone ringing precisely at this moment, Friday February 27, 2009 at 12:01 am. It's the start of the NFL free agent period. Haynesworth is the NFL's biggest free agent target, both figuratively and literally. The DT is expected to get the biggest contract of all available free agents. Per John Clayton from ESPN, he expects Haynesworth to sign a deal within two hours of the open of free agency. We'll see if it happens that fast, but he is expected to get offers of over $100 million.
UPDATE (7:00 am) - Haynesworth has agreed to a seven-year deal with the Redskins.
The most important free agent to a team is Kurt Warner of the Arizona Cardinals. The 37-year old QB lead the Cardinals to the Super Bowl. If they expect to make it back, they must re-sign Warner. They are several millions dollars apart on money ($10-$12 a year vs $14-$16), but I don't expect Warner will seriously consider signing with another team. It's either the Cardinals or retirement. Expect to see him back with the Cardinals.
