Haynesworth was a toad before the Skins signed him; the Skins made him an uber-rich toad; now, he is behaving like a toad in New England. He is consistent in his "toad-ness". The Redskins took two years and about $30M to figure it out.

Lets be honest. That $21 million advance was given to him so it would be easier to move him from that point on without killing the cap should the worse come to pass. Obviously last year the worse did indeed come to pass. If I remember correctly there is no dead cap from the Haynesworth trade and if there is it's very little.
Basically Bruce Allen saw an opportunity to protect the teams future when the cap came back and decided to take advantage of the uncapped year.
