Should Dockery Be Re-signed Before Free Agency Starts (next Friday)

[Hog1]

Make him a good reasonable offer, and try to accomodate him within reason. If that's not in the cards.......see ya'

We had one of the best offensive running attacks in the NFL last year. We gave up almost the fewest sacks last year. Why would we mess that up? Pay him and move on. If they didn't mess around during the season we would not be at this point.

Samuels is on record begging for Dock to be back.

I just don't see good things for our future if we leave via free agency.

Its more of a morale / chemistry issue in the locker room.

Gibbs always preaches "core" Redskins. Dock never says a word and shows up to play with constant improvment......

So I guess you're in favor of making him the highest paid OL in the league?

I'm not sure what he's asking or what we're offering. He should make at least at much as Randy Thomas. Dock is younger too. Not sure what the hold up could be. They are being very hush hush about it. Maybe we should relax and see what they do first.

Does anyone know why its taking so long???

I'm guessing you didn't read all the posts here... he's reportedly looking for a monster deal. Monster as in highest paid OL in the league.

he's not nearly a good as thomas. he can't pull at all. it's taking so long because dock's already said he's going to test the market, and the "market" hasn't opened yet.

When did he say he was going to test the market?

He could be re-signed AFTER the draft too. I don't see what the big deal is. I haven't heard anything about other teams that are interested in him, so why don't we just chill and let the Skins do what they gotta do?

I see one of two things happening with Dockery:

1) Dockery talks to a few teams at the combine, makes a wink, wink, nod, nod deal for some serious cash, and signs somewhere else on the first day or two of UFA.

2) Dockery talks to a few teams at the combine, realizes that there is no real market for him, turns around and signs with the Redskins about this time next week.

No chance he's around (on the open market) at the draft.

I am all for resigning Dock and I think team chemistry is important - but he doesn't deserve to be the highest paid lineman in the NFL. Hell he's not even the best lineman on his own team.

[RMSkins]

I can't help but to think that we're not going to get this deal done, time is ticking, and if we can't get Dock re-signed it is going to have a huge impact on what we do this offseason.....yet another hole to fill.

And then we are going to blow tons of money on some random Olineman. Give them one of those contracts with insane bonuses and low yearly salaries.

My thoughts exactly.

And that would be a mistake, but that wouldn't make letting Dockery walk a mistake given the conditions.
