Does anybody else think that they're probably lowballing the hell out of Derrick Dockery so that they go out and give a 10 million dollar signing bonus to someone like Will Shields? (for the record, I don't actually mean Will Shields, he's just an example) A guy who is no doubt good, but will get old pretty fast?

Now, I know Joe Gibbs and Joe Bugel love them some offensive linemen, but would this really surprise anyone if they don't get this deal done? I mean, really, it would just be more of the same. While I hope they get him signed, I'm just not too confident in the front office's (whoever that implies) ability to do so. They seem like they're allergic to signing the guys they've drafted. I really hope this doesn't take a turn for the worse. I understand it's still early, but this wreaks of Ryan Clark being replaced by Adam Archuletta.
