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

Make him a good reasonable offer, and try to accomodate him within reason. If that's not in the cards.......see ya'

he's not even the SECOND best OL on his own line, so why should he get paid more than hutch or jones? that's insane.

How much would it cost to put the franchise tag on him? Is it already too late for that anyway?

not too late, but all OLinemen are clumped together:
Franchise tag - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Franchise_tag)

franchising him would cost 9.6mill for this year. that's just not happening.

We had one of the best offensive running attacks in the NFL last year. We gave up almost the fewest sacks last year. Why would we mess that up? Pay him and move on. If they didn't mess around during the season we would not be at this point.

Samuels is on record begging for Dock to be back.

I just don't see good things for our future if we leave via free agency.

Its more of a morale / chemistry issue in the locker room.

Gibbs always preaches "core" Redskins. Dock never says a word and shows up to play with constant improvment......

So I guess you're in favor of making him the highest paid OL in the league?

Definitely not gonna happen.

his agent wants to see what he can get in the market

Ouch, I don't think that'll be happening any time soon. Thanks.

I find it funny that he thinks he deserves to make so much money when he's never made the Pro Bowl. Although, I guess he sees how much money the FO throws around and figures he might as well dip his giant hand in the honeypot too.

I'm not sure what he's asking or what we're offering. He should make at least at much as Randy Thomas. Dock is younger too. Not sure what the hold up could be. They are being very hush hush about it. Maybe we should relax and see what they do first.

Does anyone know why its taking so long???

This is the perfect example of why the draft is so important, if we can't resign him and some other team is willing to throw a huge contract at him we will be in a tough spot because we don't have a 2nd, 3rd, or even a 4th rd pick to fill that need so then we'll end up being force to over pay for some vet. I hope he comes to his sense and signs with the Skins.
