The 33-year-old was most recently on an NFL roster in 2012 with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. He last appeared in a game in 2011, when he played seven games for the Buccaneers and made 20 tackles.

Haynesworth was a first-team All-Pro and Pro Bowler in both 2007 and 2008 and played in the NFL for 11 years.
