JLC: Hope fading for Dockery?

[724Skinsfan]

If he wants that kind of money then they are going to have to let him shop and hope to resign him after he realizes his market value isn't as great as he or his agent believes.

Well that's fine to say he wants too much. What are the f***ing options though otherwise?

On to the cap, my most beloved main man on all salary-cap issues (you know who you are) tells me the Skins as of today are roughly $6 million under the cap, give or take a few hundy-thou, after yesterday's moves (cutting Fauria and doing a new deal with Brunell).all of that. And Vilma has not heard a thing.

JLC, giving our main man CrazyCanuck some love! Nice

It sounds like we are talking Royalty with those numbers.

I'd have to say the kind of reported cash he's looking to get, not even Danny Boy's comin off that kind of coin.....and don't blame him! I think the DOCK is on his way out the door.

I wish I knew what was going on with the Dockery negotiations. I have heard however, from a pretty reliable source, that Dock’s agent’s initial proposal to the Redskins was a $17 million signing bonus. Yes, $17 million.

Now clearly (I think) this was just a starting point for further bargaining. But it gives you an idea of Dock and his agent’s (Todd France) ultimate asking price based on their starting point.

THATS INSANE!!!!!!!! love ya dock, but your out of your mind if you think the danny OR any team is gonna cough that much up.

Personally i dont think ANY football player is worth a bonus that huge. you know how many cold new castles and hot wings that can get ya? speaking of new castle, im kinda thirsty, brb.

No way Dock is getting a 17 mil bonus.

DB Clements and OLB Thomas are going to get 17-19 mil bonus.

OG Dielman and Steinbach will get between 12 - 17 mil bonus.

OL Davis has been saying he has a 12 mill signing bonus offer.

Dockery will get between 10 - 12 mil to sign.

You poor Romosexual...darn that's an ugly lid!

I have to agree that's about right, DOCKS out of his mind lookin for 17 mil Bonus cash, he's in the 10-12 range max, in my opinion.

However, in this market you just never know? Some team out there might be desperate enough to pay him an OUTRAGEOUS signing bonus.....way more than what he's worth!

THis is the nature of this years market--it's not that Dock is objectively worth all that cheddar, but teams have lots of cheddar to spread round this year. It's a sellers market. My guess is that he's as good as gone. We need a LG. But that's better than not having a D...

[Sheriff Gonna Getcha]

Dock, like most players, is simply going to go to the highest bidder. If Somalia had a football team that was willing to pay him a $20M signing bonus, he'd be on his way to Mogadishu before night's end. So, I fully expect to lose him and, to be honest, I'm not going to be totally pissed about it.

I would rather sign Wade and another starting quality guard than spend that on Dock. Those figures are crazy...

Who is Wade? A guy who sat on the bench for us last year?

Also what is are our other options at LG, who else is out there and available and is not going to cost ridiculous money?

He's also a guy that many scouts think is a starter. He came to us after an injury year and came from a bad line. He proceeded to basically play as well as any lineman played for us all year in that one game. I think Wade at $2 million is a way better value than Dock at $4 million (and growing as the seasons go on) for a guard. I know it's a crazy market but we got needs and Wade can fill at RG sufficiently enough for me. If Dock can't get in at a reasonable price than hasta baby.
