Dockery coming back to Redskins

skinsfan_nn · 02-27-2009, 10:33 PM

Nice move to bring Dock back for 5 year/26 mil deal. Starting on the O-line now!

Thoughts?

I think that Portis will love the left side of the line

GMScud · 02-27-2009, 10:36 PM

NICE! Hell yeah. The offensive equivalent of what happened with Smoot. Welcome back Dock.

TheSmurfs22 · 02-27-2009, 10:38 PM

Honestly I am more excited about this than Haynesworth. Glad that Dock is back in DC!

Schneed10 · 02-27-2009, 10:39 PM

MARVELOUS value!

$8.2 million in guaranteed money, this amounts to a $2.0 million cap hit. I have us with $4.4 million in space at this point. Still enough to sign another impact lineman!

Woot! Welcome back 66!

Schneed10 · 02-27-2009, 10:40 PM

This is really good for the locker room, the guys always loved Dock. He and Samuels will love being back together.

skinsfan_nn · 02-27-2009, 10:40 PM

Yes welcome back. This is a solid move the FO is doing a great job IMO!

The left side will open up some nice running lanes for CP. And this is about half the contract price he signed in Bill country. This seems to be a win, win situation for the SKINS!

I'm sure BIG CHRIS is loving this move! Bet Kendall is not liking it as much....

are you SERIOUS?! I thought we had next to no cap room and the reason we cut springs was to make room for Haynesworth!

also, is 4.4M including the rookie pool?

Dirtbag59 · 02-27-2009, 10:46 PM

Two down one to go. Though I don't know if thats the wine talking but I think they should try and go after Willis now and shore up that Right Tackle spot.

Check out the salary cap thread. All your questions will be answered.

Yes. Me and CC have been keeping track of the cap all along. Check out the first post in the Cap thread, it tells you all you need to know:

If that's the case can we still afford Willis or Khalif Barnes to plug in at RT?

Talk about addressing your needs on both lines. We've just gotten younger on defense (Springs 35-Hall 26=9 years younger, Evans 30-Haynesworth 28=2 years younger) and offense (Kendall 36-Dockery 28=8 years younger) and upgraded both positions. If they add Orapko in the draft that would be an "A" for the offseason.

Nice day today by the FO.

Apparently, Dock passed up more money in Detroit to come back here:

"The Redskins called and tried to bring him back. The Lions offered him a richer contract to stay, but Dockery decided he couldn't pass up the chance to return to the Redskins."

Former Bills offensive lineman Derrick Dockery agrees to five-year, $26.5 million deal - ESPN

I love hearing that. This guy has a soft spot in my heart. I agree with whoever said it, in many ways this is better than getting Haynesworth.
