    I had to look him up. Ouch! Got this from Wiki:

    Haynesworth became a highly coveted free agent after his 2008 campaign, which led to him signing a seven-year, $100 million contract with the Washington Redskins.[2][3] However, Haynesworth would play only 20 games in two seasons for Washington until he was traded in 2011. During his short time with the Redskins, he often exhibited laziness and ineffectiveness on the field. As a result, the Redskins' acquisition of Haynesworth is considered among the worst free agent signings in history.[4] He played his final season in 2011 with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

    I don't consider it fun. It is just a civic duty. It is like holding a door open for my wife, slowing down to let someone using their turn signal merge into my lane, or saying thank you when someone helps you. It is just something you do because it needs doing.

    The Rams have had great success with this strategy of trading multiple first-round picks for star players like Ramsey, Stafford, and Von Miller(it was a second- and third-round pick, but it was also only for half the season).

    The Rams have been to two Super Bowls since 2018, and just last year, they were very competitive in their playoff game in Philly.
