After the Synderatto era, a lot of people including myself just wanted quiet offseasons with very little free agent moves.
Why? Because we didn't trust them to make smart moves when it came to free agents and trades. They were the Washington Generals of NFL Front Offices.
As Portis once said, if you want to get paid...come to Washington. At least I think he said that.
History of guys like Brandon Lloyd, Arch Deluxe, Randel El getting 30 mil deals with 10 mil bonus'
The 100 mil for Hanyesworth who missed about 25% of the season, and who knows how many plays a game.
But to me.....things have changed. My mindset on free agency has changed. I don't think the Allen/Shanny front office is going to set the standard for big contracts going forward. I think they might go for a guy or two who would demand a decent amount of cash. But nothing record setting. So this is where I want to see them being active in the offseason. Not just signing free agents....but cutting overpaid guys on the current roster. I think there will be a lot of blue collar guys that Vinny and Danny wouldn't have thought of twice, which can help. So, while I want a guy like Leigh Bodden....or wouldn't be angry at a Brian Westbrook. I want to see them active in flushing this team of the divas....and loading it with practice and character guys.
