I think bringing Dockery back is the most logical way to go, but Steinbach's a better guard, and in many cases Dockery's inability to pull effectively has indicated that maybe he isn't built for our running style.

What I don't want to see happen is for us to give Steinbach a deal like we gave Archuleta or Carter this offseason. Don't inflate the signing bonus. If you are going to overpay, you might as well keep Dockery and not overpay. We have a month with Dock staying in house to get a reasonable deal done, if it can't get done in that time, better start looking to replace him.
Sure it could be, but I don't want that at the cost of maintaining our already established precedent of overpaying as you mentioned. If Dock leaves and we bring in someone at a decent contract, then fine. I just don't see how that's going to happen. It is going to take four to five years of fiscal responsibility to right this ship as far as people coming here to get paid go.
