If the Washington Redskins have any sustainable competitive advantage over another NFL team, it is that they have consistently written team friendly contracts over the last two seasons. Whether it is through their foresight to leverage the uncapped year to their advantage with deals for DeAngelo Hall and Albert Haynesworth, or their ability to spend a lot in free agency without committing to players long-term, the Redskins have an advantage compared to other teams when it comes to signing veterans.General Manager Bruce Allen is always going to prefer deals with veterans over big-money extensions for existing Redskins that was his M.O. in Oakland, and later in Tampa Bay.

Players Comment On Wildcard Weekend
Part of what makes the NFL America’s Game is the fact that anything could happen. ’Any given Sunday’ was expanded to a very wild wildcard weekend, as all four home teams unexpectedly won, leaving my playoff bracket dead in the water (1-3).
