He began his 13 year NFL career as an unsigned free agent while working with the patriots in 1990, and has ever worked with Green Bay, Denver, Seattle, Indianapolis, Philadelphia and San Francisco.

The top priority of the titans this off season will be to sign defensive Albert Haynesworth after they have gathered more information about the player. Haynesworth has been blamed to be the cause of an accident that left a Tennessee man with a medical surgery of hip replacement; a case being reviewed by the district attorney general.

Haynesworth is due to become a free agent on February 27 and the highly paid NFL’s defensive player. He is facing charges for careless driving and using an expired registration during the incident though he dismissed the claims.

Haynesworth has in the past suffered a left knee injury in Houston that made him miss out on two final games of the season.
