I said no,but that doesn't mean i don't think the Skins are stupid for letting him go.They should have had this done a year ago.

After today's developments, they're not getting paid "star money."

Re: Derrick Dockery signs with the Bills
Hutchison signed that deal last year, and it blew everyone's minds - even though he was the consensus best guard in the league, and on the list on best O linemen.

Dockery is an up and comer, but hasn't so much as sniffed at Pro Bowl votes, much less been "the man". Him receiving the same figure as Hutchinson is stunning. The Bills had a ton of money, and pissed away a good chunk of it overpaying this deal.

Re: Derrick Dockery signs with the Bills
No, is the only answer to this question. But that is not to say that the Redskins get a pass here...they should have acted sooner to lock him up. He would have signed for a more reasonable number months ago. Even Dock himself was floored at what Buffalo offered him.

how reasonable? i heard they tried 4mill per and that wasn't enough for him... he WANTED to be a FA. unless the skins floored him 6 games into the season (when his track record was mainly that of being lazy), he was going to wait it out. It's kinda hard to blame the skins for not trying to overpay someone who made it clear he only cared about cashing out as far back as LAST offseason.

I think the standard Redskins Free agency deal of 10 mil gaurenteed and 5 or 7 years would have gotten it done mid way through last season. The problem the skins always have with reuping their own players before they become free agents is that they never have any cap room left during the season to do it. They always need to rescructure 2 other players before they can resign one. That's why alot of their top players end up going to free agency. When the skins resign one of their own players to an extension it usually ends up being when they have multiple years on the current deal and as a result the skins usually end up with cap relief in the short term.

I disagree. If he chose to stay here for 4 million a year you could say he was loyal. I would say he was an idiot. You can't ever blame someone for leaving for that type of money.

You didn't hear him badmouthing the organization before he left like Lavar did and I know a lot of people would take Lavar back tomorrow.

I wish him the best of luck in Buffalo, he will need it.

Dead on. He would arguably have been a "traitor" to his own best interests if he passed on that kind of cash to stay in Washington.
