The 2009 Washington Redskins season is the 77th season for the team in the National Football League. They failed to improve upon their 8-8 record from 2008. They will play teams from the NFC South and AFC West as per the schedule rotation, as well as their regular games with NFC East rivals. [edit] Players[edit] MovementThe Redskins released linebacker Marcus Washington on February 20, 2009.[1] On February 27, the first day of 2009 free agency, the Redskins made four personnel moves. Five hours into the new free agency period, the team signed a seven-year, $100 million contract with unrestricted free agent Albert Haynesworth. The deal included $41 million guaranteed and could reach $115 million.[2] Haynesworth spent the first seven seasons of his career playing defensive tackle for the Tennessee Titans; the Titans asked the NFL to look into claims that Redskins management tampered with Haynesworth by beginning negotiations with him before the start of the free agent period.[3] The Redskins also released cornerback Shawn Springs;[4] agreed to terms with former Buffalo guard (and previous Redskin) Derrick Dockery on a five-year, $26 million contract with $8.2 million in guaranteed money;[5] and agreed with unrestricted free agent DeAngelo Hall on a new six-year, $54 million contract. Hall's new deal contained $23 million in guaranteed money and had a maximum value of $55 million.[6] Hall and Dockery formally signed their contracts on March 3.[4] On March 2, 2009, the Redskins released defensive end Jason Taylor after he refused to add a clause to his contract that would have required him to participate in the team's off-season workout program.[7] In the wake of Taylor's release the Redskins re-signed defensive end Phillip Daniels, who had started at left end before a 2008 ACL tear on the first day of training camp led to Taylor's acquisition, and brought back Renaldo Wynn, who had played defensive end for the Redskins between 2002 and 2006. Wynn and Daniels signed one-year, minimum deals[8] on March 24[9] and April 2,[10] respectively. In late March and early April 2009, Redskins officials attempted to include starting quarterback Jason Campbell in a trade to acquire Denver Broncos quarterback Jay Cutler; they also attempted to trade Campbell to at least one other team for a second-round pick in the 2009 NFL Draft.[11] After Cutler was traded to the Chicago Bears on April 2, Redskins head coach Jim Zorn publicly re-asserted his commitment to Campbell.
