It looks like they have a plan, which entails a budget that Allen has set w/the Danny's blessing. As the Peter King article mentions, Allen didn't want to spend too much or get impulsive in free agency. I like it so far, sign players that are w/in your budget parameters rather than trying to outbid for 1 or 2 guys then having to restructure every year, etc.

If Vinny were still here I don't know if Peppers would be a skin, but I bet Clifton & Pashos would be. We would've overpaid for both to try & get the quick fix of the o line.

6 flags and everything else are separate entities. The Redskins are #1 in revenue and operating income. There is no way that Snyder would allow other businesses that may be struggling affect the Redskins.

The Redskins currently have the 4th lowest payroll. Does anyone want to bet me a beer (or two)that we aren't in the top 5-10 in the league by the time the season starts?
