In defense of the FO and our off-season thus far 1) all three signings have gotten us younger, even significantly younger, at those positions 2) two of the three signings have been in terms of trench talent where we needed talent most 3) we have not and will not give up a single draft pick in the process, current year or future draft. I know it's February. I know there's been nearly two decades now of disappointment. But we should give props where props are due and the FO has gotten smarter.

... at the very least, regardless of our record, our defense will be fun to watch this year i believe and it's looking more like we'll see Portis/Betts/Rookie(?) actually have some room to run.

Jason Brown just signed with the Rams.

If possible I just one more lineman. It's ironic to because with Dockery we're ironically replacing our best lineman from last year in Kendall. What we need now is a Right Tackle, weather it be through the draft or preferably free agency as the BPA approach would benefit us 10-fold should we shore up our last remaining need through free agency.

I find it odd that that Comcast didn't report the Dockery signing at 11:00 tonight.

Love this move, it just makes sense.

I think it's some sort of football karma because Buffalo was mental when they gave Dock that absurd contract and then they were out to lunch again when they almost traded him to Detroit for a pick, but didn't get the paperwork in on time?

Sounds like Danny Boy is really making an effort to build from the inside out...rather than previous years of giving big money to skill players, I think he's learned from his mistakes..Nice Job Snyder

Excellent Point

[SkinEmAll]

but why did the bills cut him?

^^^ Not exactly a small fry...

This is how I feel....
I am hesitant on Deangelo Hall getting a bunch of cash and cutting Springs to make it happen considering Springs is better than Hall.
Yes, its true, Springs is old and misses some games, but it would have been nice to trade him for a 5th rounder or something.

Regarding AH...like the guy...but that money is insane...I just dont like the message it sends...it also could cause issues with his teammates with expectations being insane and impossible to fullfill.

Regarding Dockery...I think fitting this move in made the other moves more palatable.
Certainly it is the best in terms of value...keep in mind Dockery could be good, but no better....but he's a guard and thats fine...I do like kendall...I'd love to keep him around if possible....but if I had my choice to keep one of Springs, Kendall or Phillip Daniels, I'd rank them this way...Springs, Daniels, Kendall.

I am happy about Dock...we know his weaknesses, because he's played on our team...we don't know as much about D Hall, and we know far less about AH.
Dock is by far the lowest risk situation.
I would be shocked if the Skins got another starter in Free Agency....but if Schneed says its possible...I will certainly believe him.

Elfin reports that Vinny is done...

"the club has only enough salary cap room to afford one more player, almost surely an offensive lineman."

That lineman was Dockery...so much for wanting a Center or Tackle too.
We cant get greedy!

He also said that he didn't think the club had the cap room to sign Haynesworth, and this was after the D-Hall deal. Still I guess the plan now is T/LB on draft day. Weather it be through a trade down or otherwise.

Dave Elfin should read The Warpath's Salary Cap thread.
