The Washington Commanders are responsible for the worst NFL free agent signing of all time according to CBS Sports.
CBS Sports recently ranked the top 10 worst free agent signings of all time. And Washington's decision in 2009 to sign defensive lineman Albert Haynesworth to a seven year deal worth $100 million topped CBS Sports' list.
From CBS Sports: Washington signed the two-time All-Pro to a seven-year, $100 million contract, but quickly regretted that decision. During his first year in Washington, Haynesworth publicly questioned the coaching staff while failing to produce up to expectations. Conflicts between Haynesworth and the coaching staff continued in 2010, along with his lack of production. Haynesworth was traded to the Patriots in 2011.
Haynesworth, who was selected in the first round of the 2002 NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans, spent just two seasons in Washington. He was traded to the New England Patriots after the 2010 season.
The former Tennessee Vols standout was released by New England midway through the 2011 season. Haynesworth was claimed by the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, playing in seven games with the Bucs in 2011. He never played another NFL game after the 2011 season.
Unfortunately for Washington, that wasn't the only bad free agent signing that made CBS Sports' list.
Washington's decision to sign safety Adam Archuleta to a six year deal worth $30 million in 2006 was No. 3 on CBS Sports' list.
Archuleta started seven games for Washington in 2006 before he was traded to the Chicago Bears ahead of the 2007 season. He spent some time on the Oakland Raiders' practice squad in 2008 before retiring from the NFL.
Washington has plenty of salary cap space this offseason to make some big moves in free agency. Hopefully for Commanders fans they won't make any moves that will end up on this list in the future.
Washington Commanders and eight-time Pro Bowler Tyron Smith are a good fit for obvious reasons
The Washington Commanders made a series of roster moves on Friday and it included the release of former starting left tackle, Charles Leno Jr. So, now, obviously, Washington is in need of a proven guy to protect the blindside of Sam Howell or presumably, the eventual No. 2 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft.
