[]Ex-Titans and Redskins DT Albert Haynesworth admits he "(lost his) passion" for football when he signed his $100 million contract in 2009. Haynesworth made the admission in a letter to his younger self on ThePlayersTribune.com. "If nothing else, listen to me on this, Albert: Do not leave the Tennessee Titans," Haynesworth wrote. "Your defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz is a mastermind. No matter how much I tell you this, you’ll probably never realize it until your career is over, but it’s true. You’re like a system quarterback. You thrive in a very specific scheme." It's a humbling admission from a player who never formally retired, instead simply falling out of the league. Now 34, Haynesworth's last down came in 2011. A Letter to my Younger Self...A little long but good

Can't hate him for it. I'm not too sure how passionate I'd be about a brutal sport like football after I signed a 100 million dollar deal.

Crazy that he's only 34. I'd have never guessed that he was younger than I am.

Sounds to me like a reason to let people know he's flipping houses and auditioning for a new show on HGTV.

Yeah that guy you played for in New England, that Bill Belichick guy who runs the Patriots defense is a real schmuck. He's got nothing on Jim Schwartz.

Thank goodness he told us or we'd never know!

He was out boozing 5 days a week in Northern VA when he became a Redskins player. Especially in the Reston Town Center area. We would see him out a lot and my friends who worked in the bars and restaurants said he was dropping a few g's on food and booze on the regular.
