Wow, I don't agree with that grade. How do we get that low a grade on some of the signings! DJax should be way higher! Same with Hatcher!

I know Denver and New England are respected franchises, but to me their FA signings are basically the types of signings that our team used to make under Vinny. Overpaying for stars past their primes.

I disagree as those are Super Bowl contenders. I think there's a time and place to "overpay" for free agents. That time is now for both those teams as their QB's are in the twilight of their careers.

You're right, but those are still the type of signings Vinny used to do (on a bad Redskins team).

I find it interesting that Denver would spend so much money on defense, when they were beating soundly by Seattle's defensive line.

But they managed to lure the centerpiece from the Redskins physically opposing line from 2013 - Will Montgomery.

He's right about Lavuao, and perhaps Porter too, unless he starts and plays better than Josh Wilson. But he's just plain wrong about overpaying for Hatcher. First of all, he's not a normal 32 year old, as he should have a number of good years left; second, the contract has no guaranteed money after this year, and the Redskins will be able to escape the deal easily in a couple of years. Sports Illustrated gave this signing an A-. And on Chris Baker, he looked at the salary and then directly at what Baker's done, instead of at looking at how he finished last year, and what he's projected to do this season. I wonder why he didn't talk about the biggest signing of them all? Maybe because he actually liked it and knew that wouldn't go well with the troll theme?
