Matty, I agree that the Patriots did go out and sign Thomas to some big money and trade for Moss. They may have signed some other guys but I don't think they were huge names.
Anyway, I think that is how a team should use free agency: if they are 90% there and they need that extra 10% then they should go out and buy it.
Does anyone thing that the Redskins are 90% there? Have we built a solid enough team foundation to warrant going and getting those last two pieces to the puzzle?
When I look at this team I see some aging stars, overachieving younger guys, and a few stars in the prime of their career. To me, the Skins focus should be on building that solid foundation for the future - not continuing to trade our future away to bring in some hotshot receiver who I can guarantee right now, will not produce after he has signed the monster contract.
