If we invest a ton of money in PM, we are handcuffed into acquiring cheaper players through the draft due to limited FA funds. I think (without sources to back this up) we will draft a young QB in the second round and let him sit and learn. The rebuild is still on so don't worry too much.

If we can't sign PM for a low salary, then yes, I do think it diverts us because of the multitude of needs that the Redskins have. There is a need for WRs, maybe a TE, a safety, an offensive lineman (or two), re-signing Fletcher, and probably a kick return specialist. I would hate to see money spent on PM that could otherwise be used for any of those purposes. Let's not drag out the rebuilding any longer than necessary by spending high on a high risk veteran QB. Just bad business IMHO.
