The point was not to illustrate how much cap space was taken or how we really got burned with back loaded contracts and dead money -- some of those signings were relatively insignificant cap wise.
The point, as evidenced by our overall record since Dan Snyder took over, is to make note of how poor those decisions were, ... not that it needed to be pointed out, it's been beaten to death here, but hey -- that's what this site is for. All of this stemmed from the discussion of London Fletcher, whose signing I support, but with the admission that it could be yet another washed up has been that the Redskins are so famous for attracting.
By the same token, I would also say that it's equally as redundant to say that the New England Patriots do a far better job at evaluating the free agent market than the Washinton Redskins do. That New England is reportedly interested in Fletcher may speak well for the intentions of our front office.
