Overspending proved fatal for Washington
RealFootball365.com, AZ - 3 hours ago
Much was made of the Washington Redskins ' free-spending ways last offseason. During the NFL's free agency period, Dan Snyder's boys brought in well-known names like Brandon Lloyd, Antwaan Randle El, Andre Carter and Adam Archuleta. They were all signed to big-money deals to help put a team that had gone 10-6 during the 2005 regular season and advanced to the second round of the NFC playoffs over the top.

Unfortunately for Washington, nothing ever seems to work out as it's supposed to. All four of the above names, to various degrees, failed. The Redskins, bogged down by injuries and poor play from their supposed stars, regressed by five games in the standings, finishing 5-11, which was good enough for last place in a competitively mediocre NFC East.

Randle El caught 32 passes for 351 yards in 2006. Brandon Lloyd had 23 catches and 0 touchdowns. Adam Archuleta had no INTs and was benched for the last nine games of the season. So much for the big signings Snyder brought in before the season, eh?

It seems like since Snyder has owned the team, it's been one free agent bust after another.
