Redskins have changed free-spending ways but not the results

During the early days of Washington Redskins owner Dan Snyder's tenure, cornerback Deion Sanders stood at his locker, oozing the aura of "Prime Time" surrounded by cameras and microphones, and proclaimed the following:

"Every owner in the league tries to secure free agents. The difference is, Dan shops at Versace, other owners shop at Wal-Mart."

But all Versace got the Redskins were splashy offseason headlines and in-season frustration. From 2000 to 2009, Snyder's Redskins were known for signing big-name free agents and changing coaches. Since then, he has had only two coaches, and the organization has tried to build more through the draft.
