Just a quick round up of what's happened so far during the opening day of NFL Free Agency:

The number one news story thus far has been Washington signing highly coveted DT Albert Haynesworth to a mind boggling deal. 7 years and $100 million is a huge contract for a defensive tackle, but nothing new for Washington. Every year they overspend for the big names and nothing much comes of it. Daniel Snyder clearly hasn't learned his lesson yet. The Redskins also signed DeAngelo Hall to a 6 year, $54 million deal.

Elsewhere notable signings and trade include:

- New England Patriots signed RB Fred Taylor (Jacksonville) and TE Chris Baker (NY Jets)
- NY Jets signed LB Bart Scott (Baltimore)
- Minnesota acquired QB Sage Rosenfels from Houston via trade
- Tampa Bay acquired TE Kellen Winslow, Jr. from Cleveland via trade

Plenty of scheduled visits are on tap league wide throughout the weekend and there will surely be plenty of signings as well. Be sure to check back for further updates on the moves that will shape next season in the NFL.
