Football Free Agency news. Daniel Snyder just keeps spending.

[a_random_joel]

In additon to the Portis-Bailey trade, the Brunell trade and signing DE Phillip Daniels...

The Redskins have signed DT Cornelius Griffin(NYG) and CB Shawn Springs(Seattle).

Are these guys the Yankees of football?

Also, Philly gets the Freak(Kearse).
Raiders get big DT Ted Wasington.
Bears get RB Thomas Jones.

1. they ARE like the Yanks..

except they can't win. Go Yankees.

2. Portis carries a hidden curse

and I ain't telling what it is.

3. nobody can be like the Yanks. NFL has a salary cap

4. Doesn't matter who they get

they'll still go 7-9, then get crucified w/cap issues in two years. Although, they have repeated this year as the winner of the "Summer Bowl."

Snyder doesn't understand that these guys come to WA for one reason and one reason only - money. He doesn't have a team - he has a bunch of guys - and where is the roster depth?

I'm not buying Joe Gibbs either - too long out of the league.

I live in northern VA, so I hear all Skins all the time. Yuck.

6. Vermeil was out of the league longer than Gibbs

And Gibbs was always a better coach than Vermeil.

5. Nah

Most of the Yanks acquisitions are quality players. Daniel Snyder grossly overpays has beens like Deion Sanders and Bruce Smith. I think the Portis-Bailey trade was a good move. Brunell is washed up and a waste of time and $$$.
