Next year, a competent free agent like Dockery will command $14 million instead of $12 million.
You want to get away from paying through the nose for competent players, then we have to get more draft centric (which I know everyone wants around here). But keep in mind, contracts for draft picks are going up, too. The increasing salary cap is causing these higher contracts; rising tides lift all boats.

Would you give Dockery $17M up front?
