Redskins.com: Sellers, Thomas New Deals

Boy am I already sick of this Dockery issue. I hope he signs with someone else fast so we can move on. He is nothing special if you ask me. I mean if some other team gives him a ridiculous contract I am going to be very confused. How do you tell your fan base that this year's awesome free agent addition is Derrick Dockery. How pitiful.

why does every year have to be about what big FA we are going to sign to a mulitmillion dollar deal? Why not take care of the guys we have on team? Dock was one of those lineman that helped this Oline perform as good as any in the NFL. Plus all the other lineman feel Dock should be top priority, they want this line intact. why wouldnt anyone after the year they had last year. It was one if not the only bright spot to another wise miserable season.

I agree that the 17M figure was way out of line. I don't think any other player would expect them to pony that money up.

BUT given the propensity to give big paydays and overpay for outside FA's, I believe that the players would expect them to make a pretty lucrative offer, even if it means overpaying, for one of their own.

FOR EXAMPLE: Okay, you're gonna trade picks and give big money to a guy like Lloyd who you thought could have a big impact. Well, Front Office, here is a guy who has demonstrated his impact on this team - we like him, we want him to stay. Are you gonna make an offer to him that is better than what you would give to an outside FA? Or is this one of those "when I say its a game, you say it's a business and vic versa" situations. Show us that by just being here WE are valuable.

what are the skins going to do, if dock walks? who plays the position then? it almost seems like dockery is trying to hold the skins hostage. no way to breaking the bank to keep him here. but at a reasonable price, i want him back

I love the re-signing of Sellers.

They should sell his jersey on skins.com, that would be a cool one to get. Big #45!

Dock isn't even all that good... hes just big and strong... I don't know why everyone is nutting over this guy like if we don't sign him back our season is done... he's the weakest link on our line and he cant move like the rest of our line can...
