This was the era when Cerrato / Snyder thought they could win the SB by hiring free agents - generally, over-expensive, over-the-hill, football stars with little or no gas in their tanks. Guys who had been a pro bowl player 5-10 years before they came to the skins. At one point we had the NFL’s oldest team.
I seem to remember Bruce Smith playing the Edge position and getting a single sack in a season - but he broke the all-time record for sacks. What a ridiculous strategy that was and a complete and utter failure. After 20 years at least Snyder has learned enough to try to win through the draft and also drafting for the lines.

For the longest time I stuck up for Snyder. Thought he loved the team, but just didn't understand what it took to be successful. But keeping Smithers around to be his patsy all these years combined with the last 20 years, nah he is a narcissistic weasel.
