I'm very curious as to why people pin free agent signings on Snyder. It's not like unbeknown to his coaches he went out and got Coles, Thomas, Morton, Hall, Washington, Springs, Brunell, Griffen, Daniels, Barrow, Portis, Candidate. The coaches ask for either specefic players or specefic needs, and as far as I'm concerned as an owner he goes out and gets those players. The coaches are the ones going on a shopping spree, not Snyder. Until I actually see a negative effect from the cap, I'm not buying that Snyder can't work the cap. From what I've seen he's spent more money and worked the cap well enough that we haven't been burned by it yet. Until we are burned, Snyder can handle that and seems to be a master.
He learned his lesson from George, Deion, Smith, etc. He's not running out and grabbing big names. He's grabbing people the COACHES want. Want to blame someone for the shopping sprees? Blame Marty, Spurrier, and Gibbs.
