True, but maybe he's looking to simply cash in while resting on his laurels. Who's to say he hasn't peaked this year?Tenessee was a very complete defense. The Skins are...the Skins. What motivation do you have for improvement when you've stated your goal is to become the highest paid defensive player in the league and you've achieved it? He has $41 million in guaranteed money. He'll fit in with the Redskins in the sense that the overwhelming majority of the team and personnel value money over winning. I don't see him fitting in as a player on the team, though. The defensive coordinator is not his style and with someone with a temper like Haynesworth I forsee locker room problems or on-field outbursts. Or both. Such is par for the course for Dan Snyder's Redskins.
So NE trades Cassel and Vrabel to KC for a second round pick? I think KC got the waaaaaayyy better end of that deal. However, New England generally makes good use of their draft picks (unlike another team I know

) so maybe they'll get somebody worth the sum of Cassel and Vrabel.
