A 4 year player, started 64 games. a beast of a man. the 7 yr 49million deal in two years or 3 will look cheap to what we will have to pay a guy in that time to take his spot.
Example - look at what we left Pierce go for, he signed a reasonable deal the the Gmen, when we low balled him. now we have struggled at the position for two years, and now will pay more for a 32 year old aging veteran. We could have kept clark, who played like a beast for us, but we let him go and pay the richest contract for a safety in history. Springs, we had to sign a 30 year old corner to 10 million up front, 40 some million dollar deal 3 years ago, when we could have paid champ, and much younger, better player maybe 15 million up front. now that looks cheap compared to what clements got. (24million??)
here is was L. Pastabelly said about doc, and most everyone else :
But it was the addition of Dockery, arguably one of the top 15 players in the entire unrestricted pool, that should really solidify the Buffalo blocking unit. Dockery, 26, is a powerful in-line blocker with a nasty streak, a lineman capable of knocking defenders off the ball and creating big holes in the running game.
The former University of Texas standout, a third-round choice in 2003, never missed a game in his four seasons in Washington, and started in all but three of the 64 contests in which he appeared. As one of the most coveted players in the free agent market, Dockery had several suitors, but the Bills moved quickly to close the deal with him.
