    Christian Fauria, Redskins. Nah J/K, he'll do great.I think Daunte Culpepper will do bad, even with the great receivers. Coach Saban never liked scrambling QBs much, and now he got one. He gets just as many turnovers as Frerotte did (fumbles and stuff). Dolphins will get the last wild card spot, but that's all.

    Edge is gonna be a bust in Arizona, he's not gonna be running behind the good O-line that he had in Indy.. I just don't see him doing as well. I feel like he's gonna get stuffed.

    Randle El was probably overpaid.

    Titans signing Mawae....Cowboys signing Fabini.The Jets knew what they were doing when they cut these veterans on the downside of their careers. Their both coming off serious injuries and both were having their worst years in their career when they were healthy. I expect both of them to 'bust'.

    the 'Skins signing Archuleta.He is an above average to good player, but he is now the highest paid sadety in the league. IMHO, that=bust.

So if he doesn't exactly pan out, no big loss. Jacob Bell, coming into his third year, played center in college for Rothleisberger and could be a long-term solution there if Mawae is too old.

    if the Mawae deal had been a 1 or 2 year deal, it would have been great, but 4 years, by the 3rd eyar hes gonna suck (gonna be 39 i think) and ull have to release

    Sorry Jhair, but i think all the redskins signing are pathetic. It just looked like joe gibbs was too scared that other teams will get the FA and be better then them, they signed like all of them available lol.Randel El- I don't get the point why bringin in this guy and pay him that much money, when u have santana moss, who can do it all except for may be throw lol.Brandon Lloyd - Ok u got Randel El, looks like u got a combo going, santana moss and randel el but all of the sudden gibbs can't stand this kid being a Restricted FA and decides to trade for him. What can he do that El and Moss Can't lol. May be make some one handed, spectacular here and there, once in a blue moon.Archueta - Highest paid safety, what a joke, He's not even TOP ten of all Safety's in the League lol.And alsoNate Burleson - Gettin Shit load of money, lol.

    Lloyd got vastly overpayed, I say a bust will be Vinatieri in Indy.Ya right, but really I think Tom Ashworth to the Hawks, they payed him a boat load of cash and that guy can't keep his feet. Also Caulpeper could be a mess.

    For all you haters of the Redskins FA signings, what does $$$ have to do with being a bust?

    Because if you are paid money you are expected to play better. And how is the most money kicker going to be a bust in a dome?
