I know free agency is all about overpaying, but the Redskins have taken it to a new level and the current players know it and expect to get the same treatment.

True, but in Coles' case since he was a restricted free agent they had to overpay. As for Portis I think the jury is still out as to whether or not we overpaid, if he blows up for 1500+ yards next year and double digit TD's I for one won't be complaining.
