Snyder Showing Improvement b/c of Gibbs?

[freddyg12]

I think what's missing from this brief analysis is that Gibbs himself has learned that jumping on vet free agents isn't what it used to be. Gibbs always liked free agents & trades if he got the guys that he could fit into his system. But back then he had a stable roster & a couple additions here & there weren't a big deal and w/the exception of Byner, Riggs & W. Marshall there were usually no big names or contracts.

I think Gibbs has learned from the acquisitions of Loyd & AA that the free agency game is often as much a gamble as the draft, but the latter is cheaper, a big part of the equation in the salary cap. So let's not say that it's only Snyder that's learned ,assuming that he has. King must know something about the Skins to make these statements, considering that only last year we were signing AA, Loyd & AC to big deals. This year we couldn't due to cap limits.
