SI.com - Writers - Jeffri Chadiha: NFC offseason grades - Wednesday July 26, 2006 12:46PM
WASHINGTON REDSKINS
What Went Right: They found more help for the passing game. With tight end
Christian Fauria and wide receivers
Antwaan Randle El and
Brandon Lloyd in the fold, Pro Bowl wideout
Santana Moss should find more room to work outside. The hiring of offensive coordinator
Al Saunders also should pay big dividends. He guided the Kansas City Chiefs' offense to record-setting numbers and could do the same in Washington. If that wasn't enough good news, the Redskins also learned that free safety
Sean Taylor won't end up in jail.
What Went Wrong: They overpaid for some of these guys, especially Randle El and strong safety
Adam Archuleta. But that's never bothered
Dan Snyder before.
Grade: A
Apparently backloaded contracts that still manage to keep the team under the cap are a bad thing. At least we got the best grade in the division, maybe the NFL will give DannyBoy an extra cookie after dinner.
