Luckily we don't have a DE that can get the QB anyways, so we neutralize their new awesome LT. Take that, philly!

If he was on a UDFA deal, he would have been an unrestricted free agent after 2007. So he's already been extended once by the Bills.

Exactly. He already got a new multi-million contract going into last season. But it wasn't good enough because he wanted to be the highest paid player on the Bills' offensive line. That's one of the biggest reasons we got Dockery, because the Bills were trying to back into making him the highest paid. But it didn't work.
