Random News Shit: More NFL Mania Edition

Washington Redskins defensive tackle and former Tennessee Titans player Albert Haynesworth (92) waves to fans as he leaves the field after the Redskins defeated the Titans 19-16 in overtime of an NFL football game on Sunday, Nov. 21, 2010, in Nashville, Tenn.
Not even a 5th round pick in this draft, a 5th round in 2013! Oh, and did I mention the Redskins have already paid him the bulk of his contract, so New England will only be on the hook for $5.4 million? That is insane! How do the Patriots keep doing this?! Are they extreme couponing when they make deals or what? Something's gotta give.

2) Dolphins Trade For Reggie Bush
Oddly, there's still no word on what the Dolphins gave up, but it better not be anything higher than the 5th round pick the Pats just gave away to steal Albert Haynesworth. Either way, Reggie had to restructure his deal to make this worth and he's now getting $9.75 million over the next 2 years.

I talked to my Dolphins fan friend Tyler and he hates this move, but I think it's okay. I don't think Reggie is going to change into the unstoppable force Haynesworth is about to re-become up in New England, but he should give them something, especially if they insist on keeping the Wildcat offense. Besides, that's a reasonable price for Reggie, remember, he's only 26 years old.
No word on what they compensation is just yet, but this is a good deal for the Eagles...which unfortunately makes it a bad deal for the Cowboys. Oh well.

Sounds like a good deal to me, Donovan should definitely take it.
