And Matt Millen and Brad Edwards. There were very few articles about the team in those days that failed to mention all these guys (and that Casserly signed them) Why else would the name Fred Stokes be burned into my brain. I think Casserly was eager to let the press know that he had added the final pieces to the puzzle.

The typical 10th paragraph of an off-season article on the Skins would read something like:

"The Redskins were able to utilize Plan B free agency much more effectively than most teams around the league... blah, blah, blah ....critical to their Super Bowl victory... blah, blah, blah." I probably read that a hundred different times. I spent the entire decade of the 90's wishing that "Plan B" free agency had ended up as "Plan A" free agency because Casserly was so much better at the former than he was at the latter.
