Otherwise, I agree w/you.

Oakland has more playoff appearances this decade than the Skins. So do the Rams. The Lions are in a class all by themselves.

I'm not sure what expense has to do with it other than the Skins are over-paying with nothing to show for it and have done so at the expense of developing their own core of young players.
