Unfortunately we're still that team until we win one.
As is evidenced by a smattering of articles already written by the usual suspects, the Redskins are off again in one of their 'wild spending sprees" signing old washed up players, but Denver and they're 10 signings every year (and commensurate 6 or 7 cuts) never gets mentioned.
If you asked a typical NFL fan who had the highest payroll ever, 99% will say the Redskins, but it would indeed be Denver.
When you ask the typical football fan who can't manage the cap, they'll say the Redskins, but year in and year out the Broncos are cutting players of value.. last year when it looked as though the collective bargaining agreement was going to fall thru at the last minute, Denver wasted no time in cutting 3 starters. Trevor Pryce had a fine year for the Ravens, while Denver's defense struggled. Mike Anderson didn't necessarily produce much for Baltimore being behind Jamal Lewis on the depth chart, but as the Broncos starting RB he was terrific. Is it coincidence Denver went thru the entire season unsettled at the RB position, and missed the playoffs?

These guys have made idiotic signings for big money that have blown up in their faces (see Dale Carter, Chester McGlockton) They give outrageous bonuses to one hit wonders (Brian Griese got a huge extension after his ROOKIE year) and they eat large chunks of money in accelerated cap hits when they get rid of guys (the same Griese cost them 7 million to get rid of 2 years later.)

Playoff appearances coat them with Teflon. That is the only difference between us.
