Should Dockery Be Re-signed Before Free Agency Starts (next Friday)

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

Why have the Redskins not re-signed Derrick Dockery yet? This is getting ridiculous i am getting the fred smoot, antonio pierce feeling again

[Sean"Big Hurt"Taylor]

I think maybe that the redskins are going to try and get another guard who is more mobile than dockery and that is a better fit for this al saunders offense. Maybe we should stop judging the front office and see what happens this year.

[EARTHQUAKE2689]

but why break up one of the best offensive lines in football they are very physical running game was 4th in the league this year

Until they put a good football team on the feild, I have absolutley no trust in this front office, they need to re-earn trust from us fans, in my opinon. God I'm freaking out already lol.

I'm so glad someone finally started a Dockery thread. Why has this taken so long to start a thread about Dock?

I generally feel that the skins are gonna let him walk away just like everyone else has. if they go after someone more mobile, who is out there?

I wanted to start a dockery thread but i couldn't b/c I was eating pie and pondering Question 3.

I, too, am so glad a dockery thread was started so that I may make a comment in a dockery thread because, since i couldn't start a dockery thread, commenting in a dockery thread would a useful and intelligent way to spend my day. So I will proceed to make a comment in the dockery thread so that the dockery thread can continue to provoke deep and thoughtful discussion in the dockery thread as the dockery thread is an original and unique place to comment on dockery. So here is my comment in the dockery thread:

Comment.

It's SOOOO funny that you'd say that because I'm getting that Kidwell feeling again!

There is still time. Perhaps the FO has set a limit on Dock and Dock and his agent are asking for more than the limit. That's what it looks like to me.

Perhaps another guard is on the FO's radar. If they let him walk then so be it. If they want a more mobile guard it would not bother me. Saunders likes to run the sweep plays and that's not what Dock is good at. Versatility is what Saunders is all about.

Washington needs to resign Dock for no other reason than to show the locker room that they are willing to take care of their own. You hear Coach Gibbs talk about core redskins then you watch them throw loads of money at some big name free agent while forgetting about the core redskins, you can't underestimate what this does to a locker room. I hope that they have learned their lesson because if they haven't we could be in for another long long season.

Perhaps Dock is asking for too much.

Finding a starting caliber left guard on the market is not difficult, but it is crucial. If Dockery wanted to sign here, they would have worked something out by now.

I'm sure he'd like to see what his value on the market is before taking the Skins offer, and that's what the NFL combine is for.

It's not like they don't want him back. If a deal doesn't get done, it's not any more our fault than his. From what I understand, we aren't lowballing him or anything. I just don't think he's going to sign here before talking to some other teams at the combine.

If he can find a very lucrative deal, he's gonna walk. The only thing that would be our fault is if we further compromised our future to prevent him from walking by coming over the top.

Conversely, if he finds that the market has little interest in him, I think he will be locked up through 2011 by this time next week.
