The defensive tackle last played in the NFL in 2011 with the Buccaneers. Now that he’s been out of the league for a while, he’s ready to open up about his time in Washington. He spoke with a Nashville radio show about how his stint with the Redskins affected him. The Washington Post provided a recap:

Haynesworth received a huge contract from the Redskins because he had a lot of success during his time with the Titans. He made the Pro Bowl in 2007 and 2008 and was a first-team All-Pro. He thinks about what would have happened if he had stayed in Tennessee.
“Oh, I think about it every single day,” Haynesworth said. “I wish I did. I loved playing for the Titans. Like I said, I’ve told many people, if the upper management of the Titans had stepped up and just offered me anything that was worthwhile, that would have been great, and I think I still would’ve been there today. I think (former Titans coach) Jeff Fisher would’ve still been there, I think Jim Washburn would’ve still been there — maybe not (former Titans defensive coordinator Jim) Schwartz because he was going to get a head coaching job — but I think you’d still have that core together.”
