Bruce Smith and Deion were six years ago. That was 3 head coaches and 5 defensive coordinators ago. The biggest problem with those signings is those players were over-the-hill, even though the did produce for the short while they were on the team. None of the signings Gibbs/Snyder have made this year, are for over-the-hill players.
Portis was acquired in a trade, but afterwards, the Skins gave him an extension that made him the highest paid RB at that time. It was worth it. Moss was acquired in a trade, and after the Skins gave him an extension, people were claiming the Skins overpaid again. This past season would say otherwise.
You must not have watched too many Skins games to say Springs is a good #2 corner. :laugh2: The only knock on him is his inability to stay healthy. As far as his coverage, he's been nearly perfect.
3 head coaches, 5 defensive coordinators ago.... and ONE owner. There is a common thread, don't play like you're a completely different franchise. Danny Boy still likes the big splash signing.
And the point about Portis and Moss is, it's not a FA move. Trading and extending is different, because you gave up Champ Bailey, a #1 draft pick, and Laveraneus Coles. There was more cost that just contract figures.
You know the more I look at it, Moss still has something to prove. Let's put two solid years together in a row before we label him worth the money. And as for Portis, let's see him do the same, outside of Denver. What you Commanders fans are forgetting is all the breaks you got last year. Not saying these two won't be good again this year, but they may not be as unbelievably great as you all think.
You're right, I don't watch Commanders games, unless they're playing the Cowboys. But Springs had a drop off last year, you can't deny that. 5 picks the year before, dropped to 1.
Wow.
