Haynesworth’s return to Redskins nearing

Albert Haynesworth and the Redskins appear to be stuck with each other, largely because of the defensive tackle’s monster contract.

Part of that contract requires him to be at this weekend’s mandatory minicamp, or risk giving up 25% of this year’s allocation for his signing bonus. There are also future guarantees in his deal that could void if Haynesworth doesn’t show by Friday.

Considering the contentious relationship at play here, Haynesworth would be insane to give the Redskins any legal window to take his money. That’s partly why NFL Network’s Jason La Canfora reported Monday night that “all indications” are that Haynesworth will show up this weekend.

How the new Redskins coaching staff integrates Haynesworth to the team will be one of the big stories to watch this weekend and into training camp.
