Derrick Dockery signs with the Bills

Just to chime in, if the skins had made this deal, they would be ridiculed from top to bottom by everyone in the league, and lots of folks on this board. The fact is, we can't afford this particular deal for this particular player.

The market for guards is obviously rather inflated right now--teams need o-line help and are flush with cap cash. It's a sellers market. And we don't have the cap space, given our D needs.

Dock is good, and most likely will improve--guess the Bills are betting on the upside there. But recall that Dock had motivation issues and had Buges pushing him, not to mention his best buddy Samuels by his side. Wonder if he'll have the same motivation in Buffalo?

I would have liked to have re-signed Dock last year. But my guess is his agent properly saw where the market was going, and correctly advised his client to wait. Now they are super rich. Best wishes to him, but there was no way we could keep him.
