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.

And it turned out he signed a deal with Buffalo that got included an $18 million signing bonus.

So...same source is telling me Los is asking for a $24 million signing bonus...and he's got the same agent as Dockery.

Now, could this source be wrong? Of course, but his track record tells me it's not quite so likely

What do you all think. $24 million? Worth it?
