He certainly hasn't helped it.
Fasano, Daniel, Joe Mays, and Dunta Robinson are all scrubs that received wayyyyy more than they're worth.
IIRC, he re-signed one of our kickers for just way too much money. I want to say its Colquitt and I love the guy but you have to look at positional value there. The difference between a top 5 punter and an average one we could pick up for 1/8 the cost is just not big enough.
Then he signed Dwayne Bowe to top 5 WR money. We're not paying the guy for what he's done in the past but what he'll do in the future and, at 30 years old, he's likely barely worth top 15 money at this point.
