Albert Haynesworth

When the Pats traded for DL Albert Haynesworth in 2011, it was very controversial. They gave up a 2013 fifth round pick to the Redskins to acquire the very talented player with a lot of baggage.

Haynesworth burst into the NFL as the 15th overall pick by the Titans in 2002. He made two All-Pro and two Pro Bowl teams, but was mired with fines and suspensions due to on-field conduct during games, including stomping on a player.

The Titans cut ties with him after 2008, but it didn't stop the Redskins from giving him a 7 year/$100 million free agent contract. That proved to be a bad decision. Coach Belichick saw the talent and rolled the dice with a trade to get him in 2011.

He never lived up to his potential before the Pats released him in November after a loud confrontation with Coach Pepper Johnson. Tampa Bay signed him for the remainder of 2011 before his career ended.

He stayed under the radar until he suffered brain aneurism in 2014. He resurfaced yesterday with a social media posting announcing that he was suffering from kidney failure and asking for help with a kidney donation.

It remains to be seen what his future holds, but at the age of 38, his body is already broken down.
