Redskins make the list of ESPN's worst NFL contracts

i know it didn't make the list, and the money wasn't as catastrophic, but I still get hives thinking of the Jeff George era.

Oh dear God. You had to go remind us of that fiasco. I'll never forget how much shi*t I got from my buddies (most of whom are Skins haters) when we pulled that move. What a joke Jeff George was

All I have to say about all of this is....

You never know what DS will do next. It's his money and he is not scared to spend it. Got to love him.

People like to talk about Danny overpaying as if that's the reason we haven't won the Superbowl this decade. It's not, and it's important to note that not a single one of the many cap doomsday scenarios guaranteed by media prognosticators has come to pass (remember Lenny P's assurance that we would be fielding 20 or more rookies one year?).

My point being that, unless you object in principle to guys getting more money than they deserve, there's nothing to be upset at here.

It's a dead horse for sure but hey, it is what it is. The Danny has dished out some pretty bad deals over the years.

I will say this -- what is interesting about the list to me is the teams on it, and specifically, that none of them has had much of anything to do with the playoffs in years. If nothing else, it illustrates how a really bad deal involving lots of cap space and/or picks can really affect a team's ability to have consistently solid personnel.

One might think that several teams would have the occasional dud. But with the Redskins and Raiders taking up much of the list, it surely highlights the failings of management.

Yep, all obvious ones we can't deny.
