Bruce Smith, Deion Sanders, Mark Brunell, Regan Upshaw, Mike Barrow are just a few names of the OLD and washed up. Then we get the not-so-old and washed up players in Adam Archuleta, S. Springs, Renaldo Wynn, Phillip Daniels, Jeremiah Trotter, Brandon Llyod, and then we traded our first round and thrid round picks in 2003 for the rights to Lavernaeus Coles, only to trade him to New York for Santana Moss.
BBt just to show you how far the rabbit hole goes, guess who got drafted by the Redskins at 15th overall right b4 Santana(16th overall in 2001). Muth@fckin Rod Gardner!! So for three years the Skins waltz with stupidity, only to trade to get the player that we could have taken in the first fckin place!

I don't think things are as bad as you make them out to be. First of all, trading our 13th pick for Coles and, eventually, Moss was one of the smartest things we did in a long time. If you wouldn't do that trade again in a heartbeat, then I'm not quite sure what to say. And hindsight is nice and all, but most scouts had Gardner and Moss neck-and-neck. Drafting Gardner didn't work out, but name me a team that hasn't had at least one 1st round bust in the past 5 years?
As for brining in aging veteran stars, we haven't done much of that since 2000 (Brunell being the only notable exception). Barrow and Upshaw were signed to tinsy, weensy signing bonuses for guys who were expected to start. Every team signs older guys and we're no exception.
