Trade for Washington: Considering they were thinking about just releasing Albert Haynesworth, getting something for him was a good move, assuming they didn’t pick up any additional of Haynesworth’s salary in the deal (I don’t know the full financials).

Trade for New England: If anyone can motivate Albert Haynesworth it’s Bill Belichick. If he can’t, who cares, it’s just a 5th rounder. They will pay him 12 million over 2 years, but none of that is guaranteed, so this is a fairly low risk move.
