one day a mid west scout for an nfl team (i forget the team) was there. we all got to talking football, etc. he said the skins have by far the lowest payroll for scouts. this was 5 years or so ago.

It honestly makes no sense that Snyder would pay through the nose for over-the-hill veteran free agents, sign big name coaches to huge multi-year contracts, yet be so frugal with the scouting department. History has proven that the best teams are the ones that consistently draft really well. There's no salary cap for scouts, why not assemble the best scouting department money can buy?

On a side note, i was listening to espn980 and i doc walker said our training facilities were just horrible, and among the worst he's ever seen. he'd even seen colleges that have better equipment and facilities than we do. Not to hijack the thread but does anyone here (smoot perhaps) know what gives?

from the pics that I've seen I've def seen better setups for the athletics gyms in colleges
