The Auction Has Commenced. (RANT ON SNYDER)

Free agency is well underway. ....you'd even know it if you didn't notice because if you turn on ESPN they're showing free agents and talking about the Redskins and specified dollar amounts.

Dan Snyder continues his legacy of overpaying, or what I call just bending over and letting the FAs take whatever they need and threw up a 100 million dollar deal for a player who hadn't had a better year than his contract year (Haynesworth). But that's not all, they also gave a 50+ million dollar deal to DeAngelo Hall. AND they've been interested in Chris Canty and Ray Willis. Where the fuck do they get enough money under the cap to pull off this shit?

Dan Snyder has ruined free agency for other teams. This fucker has constantly overpaid, which sets the standard asking price higher and higher for players every single fucking year. For teams like my beloved Panthers who want to spend their money wisely and I don't blame them, for instance, Chris Canty, a person that I think would be valuable for the Panthers defensive line if the price was right, will probably get a 40 million dollar deal even though he was pretty much a role player in the Dallas defense, not really a featured guy. It's fucking ridiculous.

Dan Snyder has all but made sure you can't get any value off of top FAs. They're hurting themselves by signing these guys for wayyyy more money than they're actually worth on the field, for instance, Haynesworth is badass but he's not good enough for 32 million this year and the year after alone, but they also kill the negotiating ability for any other club, like the Panthers. Hurney's hands are tied when he's trying to get a mid-tier situational pass rusher and they're asking for a 30 million dollar deal, because well that's the standard asking price and if you look far back enough, the Redskins FO was probably the one that started the trend.

Jeez can this motherfucker just sell his team already and go back to running six flags?
