I thought it was up to Gibbs to deal with the players agents and work out a salary. I don't think Adam Archuleta would have gotten 8 Mill this year from anyone else or Andre Carter making 6 Mill or EL with his 8 Mill would have either. This has been going on for years. Before Gibbs even came back.

Who cares if he deals with the agents? What does that have to do with the price of tea in China? What we pay our coaches and players has nothing to do with our play on the field. This team clearly has attempted to be smart in free agency and hasn't really been tied up by salaries. I don't think anyone can say right now we are losing simply because we have paid too much money for bad players. They can maybe say we just have bad players but money has zero to do with it. We dont have any "bad" players simply because we couldn't afford anyone better. Our bad players have either aged, gotten hurt or under-performed. Every guy playing for us was chosen to do so. Snyder does the deals for the players the coaches want. Arch didn't get 8 mil because we couldn't afford the better 9 mil player. He got 8 because they wanted him and Snyder made it happen. We are not losing because of anything Snyder has done.
