I really don't think Snyder signs guys with a thought of selling jerseys. He wants to win and proves it by the money he puts into the team. Sure he's a business man but I think he signs guys so he can win first and market second. Nothing wrong with that. Besides, jersey sales are more for the skill guys, not lineman.

Right, and if it was just about selling jerseys we'd be going after guys like Mike Vick and Terrell Owens. Who really thinks he approved going after Hunter Smith and Derrick Dockery with the thought of "Hunter Smith jerseys are going to fly off the shelf!"

I tell you what H. Smith may be my next Jersey. I was and still am excited that we got him.

As to the rest of the Jersey discussion, if just signing A Haynesworth brought in 100million in jersey sales, then the low end revenue teams would do that. ie Bills bringing TO in, that was a jersey signing. AH was just the best available, and DS sunk his money into him. Heres hoping it pays off bigtime for him.
